Life After Nannying: An Interview with Ishbel, The Scottish Surrogate

Charlotte, Charlie, and Millie wrap up the Careers After Nannying series with Ishbel, the Scottish Surrogate.While not a traditional “after nannying” career, Ishbel’s path is a fascinating one. Her varied roles include working with Twins Trust, where she supported families with quadruplets.Ishbel speaks candidly about her lifelong love of babies and how even her childhood play was a little different — pregnancy always featured. She shares her positive experiences of pregnancy and birth, the influence of IVF in her work and friendships, and how knowing a surrogate personally sparked the realisation that she could help in a unique way.She breaks down the UK’s archaic surrogacy laws, the potential complications they create, and how she navigated the views of friends, family, and her own household. Ishbel also discusses her non-negotiables, offers advice for anyone considering becoming — or using — a surrogate, and reflects on whether she’d do it again.Podcast Links:Scottish Surrogate Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_scottish_surrogate/Brilliant Beginnings: https://brilliantbeginnings.co.uk/Get in touch:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/your_nanny_network/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/145513705160641Email: [email protected]: https://www.yournannynetwork.co.uk/YNN Disclaimer:The content on our site is provided for information only.
