Irish influencer and creator of The Good Glow podcast Georgie Crawford has opened up about the emotional moment she met her surrogate for the first time.
Georgie and her husband Jamie started looking into surrogacy after she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2017.
The podcast host is currently in Georgia waiting for her second child to arrive, and shared her thoughts on the incredible but emotionally charged time.

“It’s been a week in my life that I’ll never, ever forget, so precious," she said via her Instagram stories.
"Meeting our surrogate mother for the first time was like a moment in my life that I’ll never forget."
“I saw her from across a huge, big room and it was like this invisible string between us just pulling us towards each other.
"When we hugged just touching her and the baby being in between us- between her body and my body – was unbelievable."
“That was an incredible moment and just made me feel so connected to the baby.”
“I’m so grateful. So scared, but so grateful for the good in the world. Ever since I got sick five years ago, it’s all I’ve seen.
“We’re just so grateful and please God everything goes well,” she added.
Georgie was only 32 years old when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2017. She found a lump when she was wrapping up maternity leave seven months after giving birth and was devastated to learn she had the disease.
In April of this year, she revealed that her surrogate is pregnant after what has been an emotional and long journey for the podcaster and her family.
