Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Lena Dunham welcomes baby girl with husband Luis Felber via surrogate
Caption: Lena Dunham welcomes baby girl with husband Luis Felber via surrogate. The pair, who have been married since September 2021, are now proud parents to a baby girl. In an op-ed to Vogue, Lena recounted her daughter's dramatic arrival, describing the moment that she waited "between the legs of a woman I hadn't known a year ago," and saw her daughter's face for the first time. ”13 days late, in the face of a solar eclipse and a meteor shower, she announced herself," Lena penned. ”I sat on a hospital bed, between the legs of a woman I hadn't known a year ago, waiting for a glimpse of this person who I had been waiting for with something related to patience, but also none at all.” "I saw her face, gasping just as she did. Her eyes, wide and unfocused, taking in the light and shadow, blinking rapidly.” The Girls creator, 40, has opened up in the past about how her journey to parenthood could look different than she expected due to medical issues surrounding her severe endometriosis diagnosis. Lena underwent a hysterectomy in 2017 at the age of 31, describing it to The Times last summer as "a grief but it was also a relief”. She also revealed that she was in the process of "expanding" her family with Luis, adding she wanted to "safely" meet the couple's children. ”It was a grief but it was also a relief. I thought I would have the opportunity to experience my fertility and my cycle waning and it never was. Instead it was a very quick, sharp cut‑off... I will say we're in the process of expanding our family in new ways.” "I want to safely meet our children and then figure out how to talk about it.” Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
