Isabel Oakeshott and Surrogacy

Political journalist Isabel Oakeshott nearly tried surrogacy when she had difficulty carrying her second child. She talks to Rekha, who had a baby through surrogacy in India.

Political journalist Isabel Oakeshott seriously considered surrogacy in India after having four miscarriages, when trying to have a second child. Although her fifth attempt at having a baby naturally worked, she's always wondered about the route she very nearly took.

In this series for One to One, Isabel talks to two mothers who went down the surrogacy road, one in the UK and now in the second of two programmes, to Rekha, who went to India in 2012 to try to have a baby there through surrogacy.
Producer: Sara Conkey.
