Women use their wombs to host babies of others
Kenyan women are earning close to a million shillings to carry a pregnancy on behalf of other women who for medical reasons cannot conceive and deliver a baby on their own.
The current trend is seeing a practice that was only considered as solution for infertile women in the developed countries gain increased acceptance in the country at a faster rate than initially thought.
Couples who are unable to have a baby because the woman lacks the uterus-the womb where the baby develops- or has medical complications that make pregnancy impossible, are now commissioning other women to host the pregnancy on their behalf.
