For my sister, absolutely. If my brother married the girl he has been with for the past 2 years, then yes for them too. It would be HARD for me because I HATE being pregnant but I would do ANYTHING for my siblings.

I would absolutely do it in a heartbeat. I actually have looked into being a donor at a clinic but unfortunately most have weight limits and I am above them.

But I would totally do it.

Re: Sort of a spinoff - would you ever be a surrogate?

I really don't know. This would be very difficult. There is so much involved in being pregnant and having a baby that I am not sure if I could do it.

I hate to say it, but probably not. I do not have sisters so maybe that would make a difference and I would do it for them?

I don't know, but I think I would have a really hard time not thinking of that child as "mine".

I give credit to anyone who could do this.



Same here.

I would absolutely be a surrogate for a friend and even for a stranger. It's complicated and messy, but i'd do it. I loved being pregnant and if i could help someone else out who can't carry a baby... why not? Chat Icon

You just have to know how to separate yourself and i can totally do that.



Same here. Exactly.

Re: Sort of a spinoff - would you ever be a surrogate?

I'm gonna say I would, but who knows when push comes to shove Chat Icon

I've only been pg once, but I never felt a bond with my baby when she was inside of me. I barely felt kicks, never felt hiccups, didn't know what body part was where, it was just like I had a big tummy. Even after I gave birth I still didn't have an instant"WOW I'm in love moment". It took many weeks for me to start getting attached to my daughter. I had a fantastic pregnancy, if I could have another pg like that and not be attached to the baby from the get go, I would totally do that for someone else Chat Icon

Only for my sister or my favorite cousin. Other than that I don't think I can do it.

Re: Sort of a spinoff - would you ever be a surrogate?

I thought about this years ago, when Phoebe on Friends is the surrogate for her brother's triplets.. I would do it for my brother in a heartbeat.
Now that I've gone through pregnancy and know that I do not like being pregnant, I would still do it if my brother needs me.
I would not do it for anyone else.

Re: Sort of a spinoff - would you ever be a surrogate?

No - I would be too attached to the baby and would find it way too difficult. I could never donate my eggs either.

Re: Sort of a spinoff - would you ever be a surrogate?

No, I couldn't.

I LOVED being pregnant, but from day 2 of my pregnancy (day 1 I was in shock) I was talking to Elizabeth and calling her by name. I could never let go.

Off the top of my head without really digging deep into thought I think the only person I'd ever be a surrogate for is my sister. She is not only my sister by blood but my absolute best friend by choice.

For that, I would certainly give her the best gift in the world, unconditional love from a child.



Thats exactly how I feel about my sister! I also adore my brother and I'd happily do it for him and his wife if need be.

Re: Sort of a spinoff - would you ever be a surrogate?

I'm too old now to even consider it, but I know I couldn't do it anyhow.. I LOVE being pregnant so it's not that, its mainly because I am the type to get emotionally attached the minute I get a BFP (I felt that way with my son and the same with the pregnancy I miscarried) so I know I wouldn't be strong enough to carry a baby and then give him/her to the parents.

I do think those of you who could and would do it are amazing thoughChat Icon
