Lena Dunham's daughter was born via surrogate in New York 13 days after her due date, the writer has revealed in a new first-person essay. The 'Girls' creator, 40, described the moment she finally looked down in the delivery room and spoke to her baby for the first time.
'Hello,' Dunham recalled saying. 'I'm your mama. You... you look nothing like I thought you would, but exactly right.' She described feeling 'bashful and dizzy with joy' in the first minutes of meeting her child, after years of fertility treatment and surgery.
