When giving up is not an option.
The McArthur family's surrogacy journey. The road to parenthood isn't easy for everyone. Nikki and Matt found out that they were pregnant two years ago. This was exciting news at first until Nikki started feeling the effects of Extreme Hyperemesis. The excessive vomiting and dehydration meant that her body was unable to cope with the pregnancy and sadly at 13 weeks the pregnancy had to be terminated for the sake of Nikki's health.

Born 31st December 2018, 1242am, 9.48 lbs @ Christchurch Women's Hospital 12 days overdue and I was jumping for joy when I go the text from Nick to say that Angela was in labour! And after a greuling day of waiting, wee Reuben popped out with the aid of forceps at 42 minutes past midnight on the last day of 2018. Apparently he didn't want to miss out on celebrating the New Year with Mum and Dad! My first day of 2019 could not have been better, meeting this little family. Prou
