    The idea of carrying my own baby freaks me out enough as it is :/



    But I dunno, maybe if I'd already had kids and it was for a close family member.
    I really can't say though because I haven't been pregnant before so don't know what it's like..

    I would. I'd do it in a heartbeat for my sister, but I think it would take longer to come around to a decision for a stranger.

    I would for my sister, not a stranger. I would much prefer if there was no biological link, - I don't think I could do it if it was my egg

    No way. I wouldn't do it for anyone and nothing on this earth would change my mind.

    It is amazing that people have these options now. However for me personally I think I would become too attached emotionally it would be hard to part with the child. And If someone was a surrogate for me I would be worried I wouldn't be a connection with the child.

    I do think its amazing if people are ok with it. But that's my own view. Saying that I have never had a child or been pregnant so maybe that's why. I would like the experience.

    I'd love to think I'd do it for my sisters or my best friends... However I think I'd have to have already gone through my own pregnancies before I could agree to it. So I can't give a definite answer yet. If I'd had difficult pregnancies or births, I'm not sure I could do it, even for a couple I dearly love.

    I certainly wouldn't do it for a stranger or in some kind of commercial transaction; I believe that's fairly common in India.

    Interesting that a lot of people are saying they'd do it for a sister...what about a brother and his wife/girlfriend/partner? Just wondering!

    I don't think I could do it for anyone tbh. Physically and emotionally it'd just be too hard.

    Personally, I wouldn't. The bond I have with my sister is unique and is the only reason I'd consider it. I couldn't be pregnant for any other woman and watch them be mother afterwards.

    Don't think I could do it to be honest. Have a daughter and plan on having more so cant imagine carrying a baby, seeing the scans, hearing the heart beat, feeling him/her kick or hiccup and then hand him or her over for someone else to raise.
    Saying all that if I had my family completed and my sister couldn't I think I would consider it. Id love to be able to give her what I have but I still think it would be difficult.
    I don't think I would do it for my Brother and SIL probably because they have 4 kids already and my sister doesn't have any yet. Also im a lot closer to my sis as there is a big age gap between myself and my brother so were never really that close.
