Jamie Chung says she used a surrogate because she feared pregnancy would have stalled her career

star, 39, revealed she was “terrified” of becoming pregnant out of fear that it would compromise her career.

“I was terrified of putting my life on hold for two-plus years,” Chung said. “In my industry, it feels like you’re easily forgotten if you don’t work within the next month of your last job. Things are so quickly paced in what we do. So it’s a compromise that we made together as a couple.”before landing other major roles in the ABC Family miniseries, noted that one of the reasons why she and Greenberg kept the pregnancy private was because of the stigma surrounding surrogacy.

“People probably think, 'Oh, she's so vain. She didn't want to get pregnant,' and it's much more complicated than that,” she added. “For me, personally, and I will leave it at this, it’s like, I worked my ass off my entire life to get where I am. I don’t want to lose opportunities. I don’t want to be resentful.”

Despite her having the twins via surrogacy, Chung says she still suffered with postpartum depression,"I think some moments are really good and then there's other moments where I give in to the sadness and also the stress," she said at the time., while the symptoms of PD are typically linked to hormone fluctuations that come with pregnancy and birth, other parents — including fathers and those who adopt — can experience them as well. Chung was no different.

"I feel like there's a lot on our shoulders keeping these little babies alive and keeping them healthy: having to sacrifice and give all of yourself to your babies," she said. "I think I'm still going through [postpartum depression] to be honest. Some days — some moments — are really great and I try to focus on that. Talking to my friends is really helpful, talking to other parents is extremely helpful and so is staying in touch with therapy.

Really unfortunate that u didn't have the experience of carrying a child for the unacceptable reasons u shared..very sad and disturbing
