BBC Radio 4 - One to One, Isabel Oakeshott and Surrogacy

Journalist Isabel Oakeshott talks to Rehka, who had a baby through surrogacy in India.

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.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
