Good morning and welcome to a new week! Hope it's starting off well for all of you. :-)

Well quite of few of you are not soda drinkers, or have reluctantly given it up. Seems like most of the posts were starting with "I don't drink soda anymore..." I guess that's a healthy thing to do. I still like a nice cold soda every now and then. :-)

Today's question is: Gals...would you ever consider being a surrogate mother for a member of your family? Guys...would you mind if your wife wanted to be a surrogate?

I would be a surrogate if it was ok health-wise for me to do so, and if I had already had all of the children that I wanted myself.

Sure, I would do it. My SIL has MS and doesn't want to go through another pregnancy. I doubt they would ever ask, but I would do it for her and my brother.

Though we would discuss it, it would ultimately be my wife's decision.

The responsibility, effort and commitment is huge. It is a beautiful selfless thing to do for someone.

I'd like to say yes, but I got so attached to my babies in the womb I don't know if I could give him/her up after birth ...

After my miscarriage I knew I would never get pregnant again without spending the whole time worried to death it'd happen again. While the chances of a second are slim, there's no way I could go through the heartbreak again. And no way I would do that to someone who's last chance of a baby might be with me. I'd be a blubbering mess from start to finish if I tried!

although my heart would say yes at the moment of thoughts, i knew how once i felt my child growing inside of me, that i could never give it up. if i had been healthy, i'd have had at least 2 more children. i never expected holly to be an only child. so in the end i'd have to say no.

i have had my sister-in-law offer to do that for my husband & i and my brother had no problem with her offering. but, my dh & i were in our 40's when we got married and had already given up on the idea of children.

to answer the question though, if i were able and healthy enough to have done it for someone that was very close to me like family, then YES i would have.

To add to the question: would it make a difference if the egg was not yours?

Oh gosh, I was assuming that the egg was not mine! LOL. Crossing my eggs with my brother's is just yuck. I was thinking they could implant my SILs already fertilized egg into me. Maybe that would make up for my not RSVPing to their wedding. HA HA HA!

Hermione, it doesn't require any physical relations. I think a baster will do (at least if I can go by the movies). I'm sure there's another way docs recommend.

Anyway, Definitely Yes. If my sister had needed my help, I would have gladly done it (in my younger years).

lol, hermi!!

well, i would do it for my dd if she ever needed it and i could do it. not for anyone else. i have seen some ugly sides to my siblings/their kids as much as i love them and most of their kids did not turn out to be as sweet and determined as mine, most of them do drugs and are on second marriages while still in their 20's, maybe not so nice to step-children, most of them haven't finished even a single college course ...a myriad of less than stellar qualities, IMO. so i wouldn't want to give an 'empty tablet' in the form of a new baby to someone i've seen isn't the best parenting material!!
i know my dd's values and hopes and dreams and giving heart, so if she ever needed me, i'd do it.

LOL, HP, I know it wouldn't require any physical moves, but I still don't like the idea of my egg and my brother's sperm mating even if it is through a baster. I would like to make an Angelina Jolie joke here, but that would be tasteless and we all know I am the very epitome of class.

No, I'm too old now, but I couldn't bear to give up a baby after carrying it for nine months.
