No, I think I would want to carry my own child however, if, I couldn't for some reason I would consider it.
It would still be my child and my partner's child as we would use our own genes lol  |

No way jose! I wouldn't do it. I believe most women that do this ( the ones who are NOT infertile) are very vain. JMO  |

No, I wouldn't use one.
I have and am considering doing surrogacy when I'm done with my own kids though. And no, it's not about the money.  |

No, if I can carry a child I'm going to. Now if I wasn't able to have children and I had the money for it then yes I certainly would.  |

My former co-worker carried twins for a couple. She offered to have the kids for them, since the lady couldn't conceive. I heard she got paid some good money to do it.  |

Just thought I would like to add that the reason why I would is because I'm usually a very stressed out person and I wouldn't want the child to have any negative consequences from that.

honestly... no.. because i think being pregnant helps prepare you to raise a child.. it gives you patience.. you have to deal with things you don't want to deal with you have to do things you don't want to do (i don't think anyone enjoys full on labour but they do it out of love for thier child)  |

Hmm... being able to go tanning, or being able to feel my baby kick... not really a hard decision for me. Any woman that would put herself first like that, for such petty reasons, really shouldn't be having a child in the first place...  |

Honestly, if you don't care to be responsible enough to go through a pregnancy, I think you have no place being a parent. And I don't mean this towards mothers who use surrogates because they can't carry a child for medical reasons. But having a child isn't like shopping, you don't just go pick one up when you feel like it. Using a surrogate so you can drink, shop and avoid stretch marks, in my opinion, is selfish and shallow...not the greatest virtues of a mother.  |

I would probably not choose that option.. I think I'd feel slightly distant from my child if I didn't carry him/her.  |

Personally, no. I'd just adopt a child if i can't have my own.  |

Hello, Princess Jen. Such an interesting thing to consider! IF money was not an object and I was very fond of the male donor and could tolerate the female carrier. Fond enough to want to care for a child with his, hers and yours, then sure, I'd consider doing that. Of course, I'd need to be female, or could we play out that scenario from a male's perspective? I'm confused, now. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, lady. Write on....  |

Yes because what happened with my first daughter she almost died and so did I. It was a condition called pre-eclampsia. I would let another mother have the baby for me and my husband. This is putting an egg in a mother from my husband and myself right? If that is the case yes I would. I would have to know she would care for herself and my unborn child the best she could. No smoking or drinking or anything bad.  |

I wouldn't unless I had no other choice. To be truthful, we were actually to the point where we thought that might be our only option. We had actually already spoken to a friend about the possibility. Thankfully, I FINALLY was able to conceive. I'm 6 months along now.  |

Never. I completely agree with Beth ann and Purple Skies. I'm looking forward to the pregnancy just as much as I am being a mother.  |

No... I would want to carry my own child. The only way I'd use a surrogate mother is if it was impossible for me to carry it myself.  |

I wouldnt do it unless I had to. I liked the bond I had with my First little boy Hunter, and with the one I am having. Theres just something about knowing you carried them and they belong to you. I dont think I would feel that connection if someone else carried my child. If I had tried everything and nothing worked it would be an option and I think its great for the one who do it cause they can help people get the baby they are longing for. I mean it takes a lot to put your body through that and know that the child is not yours. Its probably emotionaly hard on the person who cant have the child either, because they dont get to feel the baby move and form a bond that will last a lifetime while in the belly. They have to wait until baby comes out to start forming that bond. Besides, it hurts and its scary but its soo worth it when you have the baby and they lay him on your tummy and you see that little face staring up at you and you forget all the horrible things and everything is alright. All you feel is love.  |
