Kiwi mum's heartbreak after surrogate terminates her pregnancy: 'I went into shock' (Photo / NZ Herald) Sat, 8 May 2021, 9:14AM When Jane* and her husband John* heard the news that their surrogate was pregnant last September, they were overjoyed. For Jane, who had a troubled first pregnancy carrying their daughter Jenny*, it meant another chance at motherhood. As the couple stocked up on nappies and formula, and pulled out Jenny's old baby clothes in anticipation, their only real worry were whether the infant would feel like theirs. But last November, while nine weeks pregnant with the couple's biological baby, their surrogate underwent a termination without their knowledge.
