Welcome back to part 3 of our series on Surrogacy! In this
episode Mariah concludes her story of being a surrogacy carrier.
One of her main desires for being a surrogate was to experience
birth with all the expertise and knowledge she has gained from
being a birth doula. 

She recounts the joy of giving birth to Ruby, Shay and Tyler's
daughter, and what her postpartum experience was
like. 

We also talk about all the myths surrounding surrogacy, what it
takes to become a surrogate carrier, how her husband and kids
felt about and supported her through this experience, some unique
struggles she faced, and how being a surrogate has changed her
life and career goals. 

BIO: Mariah Duck is a dedicated mother, military wife/spouse, and
social worker with extensive experience in the ART/IVF field in

is also a passionate advocate for all things birth and
postpartum, working as a doula and having been a surrogate
herself. Her unique perspective blends professional expertise
with personal experience, making her a powerful voice on
caregiving, resilience, and community support.
