A lady has sparked widespread reactions on social media after alleging that her family turned against her because she refused to raise a child she says she carried as a surrogate for her elder sister.

In a viral video circulating online, the woman claimed she agreed to become a surrogate for her sister after months of emotional persuasion from her sister and other family members.

According to her, the arrangement was that she would only carry the pregnancy, while her sister would assume full responsibility for the child after birth. These claims have not been independently verified.

The woman explained that her sister had experienced difficulty conceiving after marriage due to complications with her uterus. She alleged that her sister and brother-in-law asked her to carry their first child through surrogacy because they preferred a close family member over a stranger.

She further claimed that she initially rejected the idea because she has never wanted children and made it clear that she had no interest in raising a child after giving birth.

She alleged that after months of emotional pressure from her sister and other relatives, she eventually agreed on the condition that her sister would take full responsibility for the baby and also help her restore her body after the pregnancy.

According to her, the surrogacy procedure was successful. However, during the pregnancy, her sister unexpectedly conceived naturally and later gave birth to her own child.

The woman claimed that after her sister welcomed her biological baby, the family suddenly expected her to take custody of the child she had carried as a surrogate, despite their earlier agreement.

She said she refused because she had been clear from the beginning that she did not want children, adding that her family has since turned against her over the decision.

Narrating her experience, she said:

“I don’t want to do this because I don’t see myself as someone that wants to have children. Long story short, I don’t want to have children. I want to marry. I might marry, but I’m not intrigued by the idea of getting pregnant and birthing kids because I don’t have the strength to look after children.”

“For me, it’s just a strenuous thing. It’s a whole lot of work and I don’t see myself doing it.”

“She reminded me that if I’m doing it, I’m doing it for the entire family. She said I should not make her enemy shame.”

“I told her that if I birth this child for you, you’re going to take 100% responsibility of it. I don’t want anything that has to do with kids.”

“I also told her that after the whole procedure, anything that happens to my body, you’re going to fix it. Maybe I’ll go under liposuction or see a beautician to fix my body.”

“To the glory of God, they did the insemination and everything. It didn’t fail and everything went fine as planned.”

“A miracle happened. She got pregnant and carried her own baby to full term and everybody was happy.”

“She wanted me to come and carry my child.”

“She doesn’t see any reason why the child should be living with her now since she has birthed her own child.”

“I don’t think I have the strength to look after toddlers. I don’t think I have the strength to look after babies. That is why I told you from day one that I don’t want to do this.”

“Somehow you convinced me, manipulated me emotionally, got my mother involved, got everybody involved and I agreed to doing this thing. Why are you changing your mouth now?”

“Besides, the child is still your child. The only difference is the child shares both of our DNAs. I was just the carrier.”

“My entire family has decided to become a thorn in my flesh because I said I am not going to look after the child I birthed for her.”

“They say there’s no difference now and since she’s already married and has her own child, now that God has answered her prayer, it’s me that God used to open way for her.”

“I don’t have the patience. The way they cry, the way they throw tantrums, the way they do unnecessary things irritates me.”

“The good thing that I did for her is now turning back to bite me in the face.”

“I like my single life. I like the fact that I don’t have kids. I like the fact that I’m free. I like the fact that I can go anywhere that I like. I don’t want to be tied down.”

“That is what I made her understand from the beginning and she consented. So why is she changing her mouth now?”

“I don’t want to curse my family members. I don’t want to see them as inconsiderate because I love my family, but at the same time they are not understanding me.”

“Please, how can I deal with this whole thing because I’m tired already.”
