A pregnancy had been established after 'DIY' artificial insemination. The surrogate fell out with the commissioning couple and claimed to have had a termination because of the 'unreasonable behaviour' of the commissioning couple who claimed the host was 'demanding more and more money'. In the event the surrogate had not had a termination and announced a few days later that she would keep the child herself.
