Maybe for my brother or my best friend. But in reality, none of those people will likely ever ask. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-be-a-surrogate-2#post-2364274 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 23:37:42 +0000 QBbride 2364274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would for one of my sisters, but I think that's it. I would also want to just be the gestation surrogate, so not my eggs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-be-a-surrogate-2#post-2364266 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 23:34:20 +0000 sapphire 2364266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope.

I love being pregnant but I don't want to have any more children (of my own). I have a friend who I've been friends with for 25 years that's been dealing with infertility for 8 years. I'd love to help her have a baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-be-a-surrogate-2#post-2364226 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 23:00:25 +0000 HLK208 2364226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have hellish pregnancies but I would do it in a heartbeat for my three sisters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-be-a-surrogate-2#post-2364222 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 22:58:20 +0000 travelgirl1 2364222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel shocking when I am pregnant and have c-section deliveries so I don't think so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-be-a-surrogate-2#post-2364187 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 22:21:59 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2364187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heck no! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-be-a-surrogate-2#post-2364184 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 22:16:51 +0000 mfa_lady 2364184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Because of extenuating circumstances, my SIL may need a surrogate someday. I'd consider it for her, unless it was dangerous for me for some reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-be-a-surrogate-2#post-2364169 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 22:05:42 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2364169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hypothetically, probably only for a sibling.</p> <p>But considering the fact that I ended up with severe preeclampsia and needed a C-section and I plan to have 1-2 more children of my own, I don't know that I would truly be a good candidate to be a surrogate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-be-a-surrogate-2#post-2364163 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 22:02:26 +0000 SweetCaroline 2364163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hated pregnancy too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-be-a-surrogate-2#post-2364025 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 20:53:41 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2364025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As much as I am loving pregnancy so far, surrogacy isn't for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-be-a-surrogate-2#post-2364002 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 20:32:13 +0000 Mamasig 2364002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely not! I think pregnancy is hard! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-be-a-surrogate-2#post-2363993 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 20:30:00 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2363993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd do it if I had easier deliveries. My pregnancies are very easy, but I've had to have c-sections so it's off the table for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-be-a-surrogate-2#post-2363986 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 20:27:26 +0000 Torchwood 2363986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would love to, because I LOVE being pregnant. And it'd be hard to give a baby up but I don't form attachments quickly so I'd be better off than most. Unfortunately I'm a TERRIBLE candidate. 25% success rate with pregnancy, and the one healthy baby was still a preemie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-be-a-surrogate-2#post-2363921 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 19:56:10 +0000 BSB 2363921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know. I had HG and was so sick til 24 weeks. I was carrying twins so maybe I won't be sick if I was carrying one. Oh, my water broke at 28 weeks so not sure if that was because of twins or if it's just me. I know PPROM happens to singleton pregnancies, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-be-a-surrogate-2#post-2363913 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 19:51:12 +0000 Foodnerd81 2363913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I could handle it with my own kids being little. This pregnancy has been rough- and it's nothing major, it just is so hard being pregnant and feeling crappy while also caring for a toddler. I can't imagine doing it with two little ones. Plus I'll be 35 in January, and assuming I waited a couple of years after this baby is out, that would make me older than I would want to be having someone else's baby anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-be-a-surrogate-2#post-2363898 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 19:47:04 +0000 travellingbee 2363898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I have very difficult pregnancies (nothing risky, just lots of sickness) and I only get through them by attaching to baby. I don't think I could go through months of puking and feeling terrible and not have a baby at the end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-be-a-surrogate-2#post-2363865 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 19:19:29 +0000 Truth Bombs 2363865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I'm not a great baby house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-be-a-surrogate-2#post-2363857 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 19:12:30 +0000 catomd00 2363857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I want to when we are done our family. I don't think I'd be open to using my own eggs though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-be-a-surrogate-2#post-2363839 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 18:57:44 +0000 Boogs 2363839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably only for a sibling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-be-a-surrogate-2#post-2362846 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 10:44:01 +0000 Charm54 2362846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only for one of my sisters </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-be-a-surrogate-2#post-2362838 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 10:41:23 +0000 lovehoneybee 2362838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I couldn't. I wish I could, even in theory, but my pregnancies haven't been easy, and my OB told me any subsequent pregnancy I had would also have an elevated risk. But mostly I just really don't enjoy being pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-be-a-surrogate-2#post-2362831 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 10:38:30 +0000 Mamaof2 2362831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think so - I would way too attached! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-ever-be-a-surrogate-2#post-2362828 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 10:37:34 +0000 Bao 2362828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I could only ever be a surrogate for my sister or best friend, probably never for just anyway...but again, I've never had to think about it! If someone close to me asked, I would definitely put a lot of thought into it, it wouldn't be a definite no, but it would be hard. I think I would end up getting attached...but if it were a niece/nephew who I could see I think that would be really rewarding. </p>
