Monique X-Influencer said that she had four miscarriages before the birth of her daughter, including one after more than 16 weeks. Due to medical issues, it was difficult for her to carry a pregnancy to term. Her daughter was ultimately born healthy, but too early; according to Monique, she didn't suffer any consequences from it. She stated that she understood the desire to have one's own child, but she would never have used a surrogate. After the miscarriages, she sometimes thought that motherhood might not be meant for her and considered becoming a foster mother. She rejected the idea of bringing in a surrogate and argued that a child was not something you could order. From her work in social services, she had witnessed children with attachment issues, addiction problems, severe mental health issues, and aggressive behavior. According to her, some parents had used certain children as pawns to achieve something. She said it was painful to see how much suffering parents could inflict on children, and that personal selfishness should never be the motivation to have a child. #miskraam #pleegouderschap #gezinsgeluk (translated)
