Ladies - Could you be a surrogate mother? Men - Would you mind if your spouse was a surrogate mother?

Answer 1

My wife had very manageable pregnancies and actually enjoyed being pregnant, so I'd say if she wanted to do it, I'd be glad to support her in what I think is a very compassionate decision.

(Just as long as the baby really goes to live with its biological parents afterward -- we have three of our own, and that's plenty!)

Answer 2

I actually tried to consider it, but when I actually thought about it, I couldn't do it. First of all I already have two children and I am already always tired. If I carried a baby for some other family I would be even more tired, which would take time from my kids cause I would have to rest. The other thing I thought about was the fact that pregnancy puts a damper on sex. So now I would be depriving my husband of sex because of my belly. This surrogacy would be effecting everybody. The other thing I thought about it, is that I am still struggling with confidence and if anyone else I knew was oppose to surrogacy, they could probably fill my head with negative thoughts. This wouldn't be good for me and the other family. Lastly, I thought about what if there were complications with the baby and they wanted me to have an abortion. I am against abortion and legally I would not have any rights to the child I was carrying. Its a very complicated thing.

Answer 3

Yes, and after I have had my children I will be a surrogate mother - I think its a wonderful gift you can give some-one! My Husband is behind me 100%, which makes me want to do it more.

I asked a similar question if you wanna look - and I had some very strong views! lol x

Answer 4

I know I want to be a surrogate. I want to give the gift of a child to a couple who can't have a child on their own. As far as getting attached the other couple would be involved with the pregnancy and it would be their sperm and egg so the baby would have no part of me. I would just be the oven for the bun. My boyfriend says he doesn't want me to be, but I look at it that it is my decision as it is my body.

Answer 5

As a woman, yes, I would consider being a surrogate mother. I REALLY enjoyed being pregnant, but I don't want anymore children. (We have 3).

My husband would probably be really perplexed by the idea of me carrying someone elses baby for 9+ months.

I have my tubes tied though, so.... lol

Answer 6

I would love to be a surrogate. I'm currently 30 weeks pregnant and it is wonderful. I would love to give that gift to someone someday. my only problem would be handing the baby over after birth!!

Answer 7

I am a man. IF, I were a woman it may be a hard decision to make, but, if doctors OK it and it save/make a life then I would consider it.
As a man, I would support my woman in what she feels is necessary.
As mentioned above. There can be a bonding issue that a woman needs to consider. Will she be able to handle the emotions of giving the baby away after she have it.

Answer 8

i would love to be a surrogate and help someone. being pregnant is the funnest (and cheapest lol) part!
in the matter of attatchment...i do not get easily attatched and i know the difference between mine and yours. this baby has none of me in it therefore giving it up would be the thing to do.

Answer 9

Absolutely, if it's for someone I know. If I can give them the greatest gift a person can give another, why wouldn't I. Surrogacy is really only for women that could emotionally walk away after giving birth, it's not really your baby anyways, your just an incubator.

Answer 10

I dont think I would be able to give the baby after all the hardships of being pregnant. And during the 9 months you bond with the baby, so giving it up would be very heartbreaking....so no I wouldnt do it.
