Woman, 24, Welcomes Baby Boy After Artificially Inseminating Herself At Home
She intends to give her newborn siblings when ready.
Bailey Ennis has welcomed a baby boy after artificially inseminating herself in her home. The 24-Year-Old fell pregnant in October 2021 and welcomed her son, Lorenzo, on July 2nd, 2021. She’s getting used to life as a single mum and says she couldn’t be happier with her decision.
The South-London based achieved being a mother via a sperm donor as she didn’t desire to be in a relationship.
Luckily for her, the sperm donor lived nearby, and to conceive, she purchased an artificial insemination kit for just £25. When Bailey started thinking about the prospect of becoming a mother in 2021, she had gone through profiles on sperm donor websites to choose her donor. She aimed for someone with lots of experience and who was healthy.
“Having a baby by myself is the best thing I’ve ever done. Being a mum is wonderful, and I am so happy I decided to go it alone,” Bailey, according to DailyMail, said.
She added: “I’ve wanted to be a mum since I was a teenager, and as a lesbian, I always knew it would need to be via artificial insemination. I didn’t have a desire to be in a relationship. I just wanted to have a baby. Lorenzo is amazing and looks just like me. Bailey stressed she wasn’t looking for particular features in a donor but wanted someone trustworthy and as healthy as possible.
Bailey claimed the donor even agreed to more children if she wanted.
“It was really easy and not awkward at all. He brought over his donation and then helped me use the kit. It has sterile cups, syringes, ovulation tests, and that’s it.” Thankfully, Bailey had a smooth pregnancy and went into early labor at 38weeks and five days. Lorenzo was born weighing 5lbs 2oz, and according to Bailey, he was gorgeous as soon as he saw him.
However, the new mom has insisted Lorenzo will know about the donor and be able to meet him if he wants, at any point in his life.
