Would you be able to handle being a surrogate mother?

Answer #1

I personally could never be a surrogate mother for the same reason adoption is not a choice for me. It may be selfish, but emotionally i could not handle growing a baby inside of me, feeling it move and kick, giving life to it, going through labor, and then just giving it away to someone. I wouldnt be able to handle it..

Answer #2

I highly doubt it. It would be odd to have a child for someone else I think. The only way I can even see that happening is if it were a dear friend… And even then, the thought of being pregnant and having a child terrifies me. So unless it were very extreme circumstance, no.

Answer #3

I honestly think I would. After I have had my own family, I would be a surrogate mother for a couple who needed it. It’s such an amazing gift to give somebody, and the baby would be theirs, not mine. Of course it would be hard. But it’s harder for those people to go through life knowing they will never have a child. I am young, and have never been pregnant, so I guess I wouldn’t really know if I could. But I would definitely consider it when I am a lot older.

Answer #4

No, definitely not. I could not go through the whole pregnancy loving the child and being excited for it’s arrival, only to be handing it off to someone else. It would break my heart and destroy me. There’s a bond that a mother forms with the unborn child that just.. can’t be broken up like that.

Answer #5

I’ve thought about this (in reference to a very close friend). I think if it was a donor egg I would be able to deal with it.
