Could you ever be a sorrogate - for someone??

Mommy2BAK replied: I would for my sister if she needed it. Anyone else would take some serious consideration.

Celestrina replied: No, and not just for the more obvious reasons. Mainly because of what pregnancy did to my body. My hormones were so out-of-whack and had such horrible post-partum depression the thought of it scares me.

mommy~to~a~bunch replied: You bet I would!

Teesa®© replied: I have thought of it and I would have done it for someone I met in a chat room, but I couldn't for her because I smoke. Regardless that all my babes were well over 8lbs at birth.

If I were way younger, I would do it, but I'm getting older now and although it still would be medically OK for me to do it, I don't think I would.

A&A'smommy replied: I would LOVE to be able to do something like that but I think I would become WAY too attatched!!!!

msoulz replied:
Me too. I'm a great pregnant person - no sickness, not too much weight - but I just don't think I could go home empty handed.

TrulyBlessed replied: Yes, as long as it were someone that I knew. I don't know if I would be a good candidate with my RH factor, but I would seriously consider it.

Bamamom replied: I wish I could. One of my closest friends has gone through every sort of infertility treatment imaginable. I would LOVE to have a baby for her but I just don't know that I would be able to give the baby up when the time came - even though it wouldn't be biologically mine. Having that child inside of me for nine months would make it mine, ya know?

Crystalina replied: Yes but only for my sisters or brother.

PrairieMom replied: I think I could, but only for my sister or SIL.

ZandersMama replied: If I was capable of healthy pregnancys I would in a heartbeat. No question. I have a close friend that I seriously discussed doing it for, but then i had Zavier.

holley79 replied: No I honestly didn't like being pregnant. There are plenty of babies out there to be adopted. I understand wanting one of your own but no it's not for me.

danahas4monkeys replied: Well not now lol considering I have no uterus but before I would have. I loved being pregnant but now well its not an option!

kimberley replied: it would have to be very special circumstance and only close friends or family.
i would have a VERY hard time of giving the baby away when i had to.

AlexsPajamaMama replied:
Same here

coasterqueen replied: I'm going to be completely honest here and say, no I don't think I could. For one I have no clue how I'd be after birthing that baby - I'm not sure if I could give the baby up or not and therefore since I am not sure I'd never put myself in that situation to find out.

Calimama replied: No, I'm not sure I could give the baby away.

sparkys2boys replied:
Same here for me.

redchief replied: No... I tried once....

Calimama replied:

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: No, I don't think so.

boyohboyohboy replied: no, i couldnt go home without the baby

Maddie&EthansMom replied: I would never even consider something like this.

HuskerMom replied: No probably not.

:.Mrs_Mommy.: replied: I wouldn't be able to, I wouldn't even consider it only because I hated, hated being pregnant. It was the 3 most miserable times in my life. I really think that I would be able to give the baby away, especially to a family member or if I could see the baby because, no doubt, there would be a bond there.

My3LilMonkeys replied:
same here.

~Roo'sMama~ replied: I think I could for my sister or best friend, but it would be very hard to go home empty handed. Still I think I could.

stella6979 replied: Absolutely! But only for family or my best friend. It would be hard, but I also think it would be such an amazing feeling to give someone a child that you know would be loved to pieces.

Boys r us replied: If it was family or a very close family only!

now, the idea of it is marvelous and I would LOVE to for anybody..even a complete stranger, having a baby growing inside you is such a gift and I love the idea of it!
But when it came right down to it..there's no way I could emotionally do it for a baby I couldn't have in my life for the long haul!

mommy~to~a~bunch replied: What you have to remember is that it wouldn't be your baby in the first place, meaning not from your eggs or your husband/SO's sperm.

Our Lil' Family replied: Yes, I would, for family or life long friends. It makes me happy making other people happy, and that's the best gift I could possibly give!

ETA: Plus I love being pregnant!

mommy~to~a~bunch replied:
I love being pregnant too, if that wasn't obvious already .

punkeemunkee'smom replied: I loved being pregnant and I have delt with infertility but even so I don't think I could ever have a child and give it up. Biologically mine or not. I would have felt that baby move and grow and I don't think I could stand the thought of not nursing,holding,loving that baby after birth. I truly commend the women who have done this for someone-it is just not for me.

mommy~to~a~bunch replied:
You could always pump your milk & donate to a breastmilk bank . That's what I'd do. I couldn't let it go to waste.

punkeemunkee'smom replied: Ok but I don't mean nursing for the sake of nursing or pumping to use the milk...I mean that quite time of nursing and holding and feeling the baby close to you-that peaceful time-I don't believe I could miss that and not have it affect me in some way...

Chiflata2003 replied: No.

My2Beauties replied: I don't know to be honest. I have a friend, since 2nd grade, she is my best friend in the whole wide world, she has a heart condition, wears a pacemaker and docs have told her her body physically cannot handle pregnancy, it would be too hard on her heart and other organs, she'd probably die herself trying or miscarry. She can physically get pregnant with no problem but probably couldn't carry a child to full term. She loves children and has always wanted children. I would seriously consider it for her only because I know I'd see the child all the time, the child would be in an extremely loving home, and I would love to give her the gift of a child....but I'm with others in that I think I would get emotionally attached to that baby and in my eyes, it would be my baby regardless of whose sperm/eggs came into play, I "grew" that child, I gave it life ya know.

mckayleesmom replied: I wanted to add that I could only do it for someone I had a friendship or someone that I loved deeply.....I would want to be connected to that child in some way....I would have to be Aunt Brianne or something. I couldn't just do it for a stranger or someone I didn't feel connected to..kwim?

Boo&BugsMom replied: Knowing that is wouldn't be my biological baby, I think I would be fine carrying it then giving the baby to it's rightful parents. I could, but only for a close family member or very close friend. There are some family members I wouldn't...they'd have to be worthy of being a parent first and I wont knowlingly put a child into a family that shouldn't have kids...some sadly, should not procreate. Aiden was a rough pregnancy, but Tanner was easy peasy. I never had any serious complications though.

~Roo'sMama~ replied: I was just thinking about this again last night before I fell asleep, and I was thinking about how when you're pg your baby gets to know your voice and can recognize you as it's mother. I would feel horrible lying in a hospital bed, knowing that the baby I just carried for 9 months was in a nursery with a bunch of strangers - even the biological and rightful parents would be strangers for a little while. The thought just breaks my heart. I'm totally not saying that I think it's a bad idea because of this or anything, it's just another thing that would make it very difficult for me. I don't know if I could go through that or not.
