[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am pregnant with a baby created by using donor eggs. My mom knew I'd move to donor eggs if my own didn't work, but so far she hasn't asked whose eggs we used. She seems to be assuming I used mine because she has made comments about genetics. I want to eventually tell her the truth because I am not going to keep this a secret from my child, but I'm honestly not ready to have that conversation yet. I'm still really sad that I couldn't use my eggs and I'm not ready to deal with my mom's sadness about it (and she will be sad).

I'm seeing her this weekend. If she asks, is there anything I can say to side step the issue? I don't want to lie to her -- I just want to kick it down the road a bit.

I'm thinking something along the lines of, "you know, I don't really want to think about what I had to do to make this baby right now. I just want to celebrate that I'm pregnant. There will be plenty if time to talk about genes later." Or something like that. Suggestions?[/quote]

I am sorry that you were unable to use your own eggs, however I am really happy for you! You will be able to have and hold the miracle of life, it does not matte if its your own blood, it will be your baby by choice. Was this process expensive? I've waited too long and I think I will miss out on motherhood if I wait any longer, sadly I don't have money :-(
I know many will jump on me for wanting to have a baby I may not be able to afford..but should I be deny motherhood because I'm poor? I would work my bottom off for any kid. I do now, just don't have $$ to show for it.[/quote]
