I just can’t imagine a wealthy woman agreeeing to carry and nurture *your* baby for nine months, giving birth, and then gleefully handing him over to you, most likely never to be seen again.

Talk about trauma for both the baby AND the mother! Birth mothers definitely should have ongoing psychological support available. [/quote]

This is literally the most common scenario in the us. Maybe not always a wealthy woman but a financially secure and independent woman yes yes yes.

Just because you cannot imagine something doesn’t mean it does not exist.[/quote]
Wow. Continue in your delusion if you think most of these young women are financially “secure”, and they just want to get pregnant so you can have your dream baby.[/quote]

I have never had a surrogate and am done having babies. I had hyperemesis three times (that is when you throw up the whole time and lose 10% of your body weight from 'morning' sickness). I also had crippling pelvic pain in the second and third pregnancies and was hospitalized twice with preeclampsia. Had surrogacy been something even somewhat financially feasible for me I would have been first in line. But I could not adequately compensate someone for that, so there was no way.

There is only one delusional person here, and its you.[/quote]

I had 3 babies, worked out until 3 weeks before birth, list my baby weight within 6 months and lived being pregnant.

I often thought of being a surrogate because I like to give back … to much is given much is expected. Not everybody is you.[/quote]

I am the PP and do not understand this reply. Genuinely. I know not everyone has horrible pregnancies, my point was that I was unable to pursue surrogacy despite medical reasons that could justify it because I couldn't afford it, to illustrate that surrogates are treated well. I made no sweeping generalizations about how all/most women experience pregnancy. I greatly envy people who had easy pregnancies![/quote]
