Ladies, would you ever carry another couple's baby as a surrogate?

Why no,I wouldn’t.You just couldn’t get me drunk enough to agree to it! XD

I would definitely consider it.

It would depend on the situation (like who it is and how my health is). I had complications with my first pregnancy. If it was for someone really close to me, I would probably do it, but I doubt I would do it for a complete stranger.

It would probably be very difficult to let go of a baby that I had carried myself for 9 months, BUT I did tell a very dear friend of mine that I would carry her baby if her doctor said she couldn’t carry a child. Turns out that friend got pregnant on complete accident after years of trying and carried her to term!

If a good friend or family member needed me to do it, I would. My body’s already wrecked from carrying my two girls, lol, so what’s one more pregnancy?

I’m actually afraid of pregnancy, but I have a friend who’s uterus isn’t doing so hot (has already had to consider having it removed before she even turned 21). That is the only time I’ve considered it, and even then I’d have to be ready to have kids of my own because I would want my first pregnancy to be my kid. I wouldn’t want to have regrets, I guess. Wouldn’t want to get attached to it while it’s inside me. So basically a test run, but if everything goes okay, then I’d help her out.

I’ve also considered donating my eggs, but I’d have to do that when my husband is away for something because I guess they do hormonal stuff and 1) one or both of us would drive each other nuts, and 2) I think it makes you more fertile and I don’t want kids myself (I’m keeping the option there, though, since I’m still young, hence my kind of, sort of response in the above paragraph).

Oh, heck no. I was miserable during the 9 months of my first pregnancy, and the second one was easier but both, did wreck my body and I had to spend months afterwards working to make it mine again. In the last few months of pregnancy a person feels like an alien has hold of your body and you want it back ASAP.
The only thing that keeps you going the whole 9 months is the fact that you get to keep the cute little alien at the end of it.
I aplaud others that can do it but this is the one thing I know I could never do. Its mine and I’m keeping it. Doesn’t matter if its my egg or someone elses. If it grows in me, its mine.
I’m claiming the “A” at the end of the project.

No, I don’t ever want to experience the horrors of pregnancy and birth

With my first pregnancy, I had a great pregnancy until it got close to the end. No morning sickness, fatigue, cramping, anything. They once I got into the third trimester, I started having heartburn at night. Nothing too bad, but annoying. Then my blood pressure started going up and I had to be induced a month early. Induction was horrible.

So far with this pregnancy, I had morning sickness, fatigue, cramping, and mood swings since I was about 3.5 weeks along. Luckily the morning sickness and cramping recently stopped, but I’m still exhausted and my emotions are still all over the place. Who knows what the rest of this pregnancy will bring or even future pregnancies.

@noelleptc Just a heads up, each pregnancy is different, so if you ever get pregnant again, don’t be surprised if it’s completely different from your first.

No, for the same reason I could not go through with a pregnancy and then give the child over to an adoption agency: I wouldn’t be able to handle the separation.

Maybe I’ll feel differently in 10 year but right now, definitely not.

It would be so hard to hand over a baby I carried and gave birth to. :( It isn’t the physical part that would worry me, it is the emotional pain I know it would cause.

I have one friend who had to have a hysterectomy at an early age. I love her enough to do it for her if she was in a healthy relationship, but I can’t think of another person, especially a stranger, that I would go through that for.

I wouldn’t. This has been a rough pregnancy for me, I might not even have another child in the future for myself.

@hug_of_war you made me smile at the ‘horror of pregnancy and labor’. It’s just really not horror! I think I had an out of body experience with my second labor just to give myself a wee break but still not horror, lol. I know I could never give up a baby I grew under my heart but I sure do admire someone who does.

if the price was right

No. I pretty sure my body would not react to pregnancy well.

As long as the child wasn’t biologically mine, I could do it for one of my sisters.

I had offered it to one particular ex sister-in-law but it hasn’t occured to me for anyone else since.

No, both of mine were horrible experienced, which is partly why my boys are 16 years apart.

I couldn’t because I would become to attached to the child I was carrying.

I would probably do it. My pregnancies and deliveries were pretty easy and it would be nice as a way to show my gratitude for the three babies that were gifted to me.
