I hated being pregnant, so it would have to be for someone I really really love like my sister or a best friend.

I absolutely looooved being pregnant, so yes, I would definitely consider it! BUT, I had a scheduled c-section so I didn't go into labour. If I actually experienced L+D, my answer may be different.

YES!! I want to be a surrogate so bad, since I was about 17! It's something I've talked to my SO about and he knows I'd like to seriously consider it after we're done having kids and they're a little older. I really do hope it can happen one day.

No, definitely not. I probably wouldn't qualify given my inclination for pre-term labor, but I'm sick the whole time and basically a total high maintenance mess. I'm just not a glow-y happy pregnant lady!

I really love pregnancy, but I just don't think I could hand the baby over.

After I was done having my children and for someone I loved, yes I could. I don't think I would be willing to do it for a stranger, but a best friend/sister/cousin who needed it and badly wanted a child, I could do it for sure. I would just have a special connection with that child in the future.

I actually think I could do this. I don't mind being pregnant and I think if it were for either close family or a really deserving couple, it'd be totally worth it. I think handing the baby over would be tough but if you had time to prepare and see how its an amazing gift you are providing someone else, it would be different. It would have to be 100% their genetic material though.

Ive considered it simply because I have very easy pregnancies and I know how lucky I am to have that and wish I could help others who pregnancy isnt as easy for or not possible but I think I would have a hard time giving the baby away too so I could probably only do it if it was someone really close to me

My pregnancy has been pretty hard so it would have to be all-expenses paid plus bonus, and it would have to be for one of my sisters or best friends. I think dealing with the symptoms would be the hardest part, this hasn't been fun. But for the right couple it would be worth it- but only one such couple currently exists haha. Not even sure I'd be a good candidate, we'll see how the 2nd half of my pregnancy goes.

This sounds bad, but if I was being paid... yes. I had a pretty easy pregnancy. I bonded with Sadie when she was in my belly, but didn't REALLY feel connected to her until she was in my arms. I don't think I'm the ideal candidate, but I'd do it. It's a lot of money & I'd be able to help out a family who really needs it.

I don't think I would be able to do it. I liked being pregnant but I liked it because of the emotional reasons like feeling like I was getting to know my little girl or the anticipation of her coming. Take those things away and you're just really big, sore, and going through labor to hand the baby over! Although I do have to say watching the episode of Guilliana and Bill when their son is born makes me cry. It would be an amazing feeling to make someone that happy.

heck no, I won't even do it for myself the 2nd time. The 1st trimester morning sickness was by far the worst thing I've ever felt in my life.

I have seriously considered it but I know it would be rough on Mr. Hedgie. He can't even stand the idea of donating sperm or eggs because in his head, they would still be our kids even if they aren't. Actually seeing me creating a child and giving it up even if it isn't my genetic material being used to create it? I know he couldn't handle that.

Nope. I don't like pregnancy. The only reason I want to do it again is cause I want another baby. After that kid, I'm done.

A woman at my school has done it 3 times. It's a source of income for her.
I'm sure I'm not eligible since I went into labor at 23 weeks, but I could never do it. I'm glad some people will though because we almost went that route.
