Nike Oshinowo Welcomes Twins Via Gestational Surrogacy!



EX beauty queen Nike Oshinowo is now the happy mum of a set of twins!
 She welcomed her twins via a gestational surrogate in the United States of America.


For those who are unfamiliar with gestational carriers, the twins are biologically Nike’s children, though they were birthed by another woman. There is no confirmation on the identity of the twins’ father as Nike and her husband Dr. Tunde Soleye ended their marriage months ago.
Nike has a medical condition called endometriosis –  which can cause severe pain and infertility. 
Congratulations Nike
Gestational Surrogacy
The term "gestational surrogacy" refers to a treatment process, in which another woman ("gestational surrogate") undergoes the embryo transfer process, and then carries the pregnancy to term. The intended parents are involved with the pregnancy, are typically present at the birth, and take over parenting responsibilities immediately thereafter.

From a medical perspective, the process of gestational surrogacy is identical to egg donation/recipient treatment cycles. The only notable difference is that the gestational surrogate becomes the "recipient". Gestational surrogacy may be achieved with the intended mother's eggs, or with an egg donor.
