Would you give birth to your grandchild?

no

It would depend on stuff. As it happens, I was nearly 45 when Minibags was born so the physical side might not have been an issue. The emotional side probably would have been though, especially as I would probably have wanted to breast feed the baby... but maybe not if it was for a daughter.

So, dunno is the answer really. The circumstances described in the OP link are fairly unusual I should think. I don't think we ever know in advance just how we'd behave in really unusual circumstances.

There are so many children in care, that need a loving home.

The short answer is no, but having said that, it would depend on a few things.How old I was at the time ( being mid sixties now it hardly counts) but even were I 45 at the time,
It could be dangerous at that age.So I don't know with any certainty.I can't imagine my daughters asking me to do that.

I would were I young enough, 45, when you are still menstruating and the same age as some other mothers. I could carry it and give it back because I would not be the child's mother, just its incubator.

I would do it but I would find it hard to give the baby up afterwards

I have supported my younger daughter for just over twenty years in her longing for a child, so many IVF treatments, long discussions on donor eggs and surrogacy , listen to her relate what had been said in support groups, spent hours talking and listening to her and my elder daughter discuss elder daughter being a surrogate , so complicated, so many emotions, so many raw emotions .

Yes.
Already been through 2 pregnancies of my own.
So one more for the joy of helping my DD to hold her baby in her arms would not be problem.
Thankfully I have GC as at 57 I'm probably not eligible.

No, I could not do it

Yes, if only I could.

Yes I would have done when I was able . It must be heart breaking to want a baby so much and not be able to get preggers

I know somebody who was a surrogate mother for her sister's baby. I found it quite difficult to get my head round, but seeing the joy which the baby brought the sister, I think I could be persuaded (except I'm too old and had difficult pregnancies, so probably couldn't anyway).

In a heartbeat

Yes as long as I was young enough

If I was 45, like this grandmother, I would do it without a second thought.

I would if I were young enough not sure at 68 I would be able to.

Yes.

Yes.

No, I don't think I would

I think I could/would do it for my DD.

Be careful what you wish for Jayanna9040 I wished for one and got three. My DiL's mum wished for one and ended up with eight within 4 years!

Absolutely. Think I'd do almost anything to become a granny!????
