lesbian pregnancy?

Question

I'm doing a short presentation on lesbian health issues, and I'm specifically looking into lesbian pregnancy. If you are a lesbian who has had a child, have a partner that has had a child, or know someone who fits the criteria, I would love to hear from you.

What was it like at the OB/GYN, did you feel discriminated against?

Did you find experience discrimination when recieving invitro fertilization (if that's the method you used)?

What was it like walking around being obviously pregnant while at the same time being obviously a lesbian? What did you experience while giving birth? (Besides a lot of pain, I assume).

Anything else you'd like to share, I'd really love to hear your story, thank you so much. Also, if you are reading this and becoming outraged about the discussion of homosexuality etc...please don't bother leaving an angry note, I'll just report it, and it will get taken off. We've heard it all, you aren't going to change any minds here.

Answer 1

Well, I know a few lesbian couples. One of which got pregnant from an affair BUT the other person knew (so not really an affair) anyway, she did this b/c she didn't want to go the the ob/gyn b/c she was a lesbian. I have another friend who's looking into it but she's looking for the ones that are "lesbian friendly".
