i shall never suggest that someone do it. the strain on a womans body is always the biggest risk. then there is the emotional trauma. it cant be a good thing. do you know someone that did it or are you considering it? in some cases there might be pros but then the woman should be absolutely ready to go through with it.

no problem. i went through post partum depression and i get chills just thinking about it. if something had to happen to my girl, or if someone took her away, i think it would have sent me over the edge. a woman should also consider that con. its terrible.

To me I always wanted to help a family out to experience the Joy of becoming parents. You hear so many stories and I guess I tend to really feel for these people, I already have 7 going on 8 babies of my own the health part is what really came to mind! Thank you again so much for your Time with this Stacy

As much as I love babies I don't think I want to be a surrogate mother. It is because pregnancy is a little hard for me, the mood swings, moirning sickness, nausea and the killing back pain. However though I salute women who are surrogate mothers.

I could never do it. I would get way to emotionally attached to the baby while pregnant. There is no way I could carry a baby for 9 months and then just hand it away. I admire women who can do this though. It would take a very strong woman.

I wish that I could be a surrogate but I know that I cold never give a baby I cattied away. I get to emotionally attached.

Before I had my first child, I always thought that it was something that I would like to do, but I am absolutely miserable pregnant, so have reconsidered the thought. I dont think I would have trouble giving the baby up, because you go in knowing that this is not your child. I think it is much different than the feelings of putting a baby up for adoption.

My niece is having a baby for someone in our family right now,and to be honest I dont know how she is doing it the baby is hers and the family members husbands baby buy way of turkey baster,yeah you heard me and I think it is crazy,There is money involved or so I hear but I stay away from them so I dont say someting that will start a family war.My thought is that if I carry a baby for nine mo,there is no way I am not taking that baby home with me.

I think that it would take a very special kind of person to be a surrogate mother. I could not do it. I have two children and hope to have two more, but I couldn't give up a child I carried. When I am pregnant I am sick every day from conception (i don't need a stick to turn blue to know I'm expecting) till delivery day, and I don't mind. Every kick is special, every time I hear the heartbeat and see an ultrasound picture I am overwhelmed with love. Even though I know that a baby would bring tremendous joy to another woman I couldn't give the baby up.

I think I would if my twin sister wasn't able to have children but for someone else, probably not.

As much as I love my kids and being an adoptee. No i don't think i could do that! It would hurt too much! I'm an emotional person and that would just be too hard for me to do.
