Will I be able to bond with the baby I carry if we are not genetically related?

Yes, the vast majority of women develop a strong bond with the baby they carry, regardless of genetic connection. Pregnancy plays a significant role in building this bond, as you nurture, protect, and give life to the baby. Your body also influences the baby’s development through epigenetics, and the emotional connection naturally deepens during pregnancy and parenthood. It is your care and love that create the unbreakable bond between you and your child.

It is completely natural to have questions or concerns about bonding when undergoing fertility treatment with egg donation. Give yourself space to process your thoughts and feelings, and consider speaking with someone you trust for support.
