Emily Webb, a 36-year-old single woman, recently threw an outrageously fun “sperm shower” party to vet potential sperm donors for her journey to become a Single Mother By Choice (SMBC). Webb, an RN IBCLC (Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant), wanted to inject some much-needed joy into the often-stressful in-vitro fertilization (IVF) process. So she made a typically private and clinical decision into a public celebration with her closest friends.
Webb shared a viral clip of her unique baby daddy on TikTok, explaining her motivation: “There really isn’t anything fun about IVF so [I] decided to take the opportunity to enjoy this part.” She initially narrowed down her choices to 12 potential donors from various sperm banks across the country. Per the NY Times, the party was to go from 12 to 1.
