s/o Do you think you could be a surrogate?
I had a fairly uneventful pregnancy (no morning sickness, felt good right until the end)...that being said, even if I KNEW in my head the baby wasn't mine, I don't think I could give it up....maybe I would feel differently though if I had a sister who was infertile, for exampel.
Re: s/o Do you think you could be a surrogate?
No one would want me to be their surrogate - I'm not good at the getting and staying pregnant thing. But if I could and I had a close friend or relative who needed it, I definitely would.
My sisters and my mother have all generously offered should that have been the path we chose.
A girl I went to high school apparently is and has carried 3 kids already. I'm amazed with her.
I really really don't know. I think for me it would be easier doing it for a stranger than a friend/family member because I would always see the child, and maybe feel the need to say something parent like when it's not my place.
And now that I am pg.. the thought of not spending my life with this baby already breaks my heart... never say never I guess, but I think it would take alot for me to do it.
I would do it for family, but I think Sarah's got a point. I'd have a hard time seeing the baby all the time and not treat it like it's mine.
There's such a strong bond as that baby grows inside of you - and once you give birth to it - it's such a feeling of intense love...
But I still would do it. I'd do anything for my SILs
For my sisters. ?And maybe my BFFs, but they are both pregnant, so not a problem so far
.
It would be hard, but worth it if I could do that for them. ?Although I have never been pregnant, so if I had really awful pregnancies, I'm not so sure.?
