[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is so nice of you to consider, but as someone with a history of severe post partum pre-eclampsia, and in the nicest way possible, you cannot be serious.

My doctors have said I can have more kids if I want but I absolutely would NEVER put myself in that situation. Ever. In addition to the physical issues, pre-e messed with my brain, too.

Try to find another way to support your friend. [/quote]

There are doctors out there who like medically complicated patients because it makes their colleagues $$$$$$$$. I think it is dubious to transfer 2 embryos unless they are crappy quality but that happens all of the time. Anyway, this is why informed consent, doing your own research and second opinions are a thing. [/quote]

Yes, fair. To be clear: my doctors don’t encourage more kids but they have said it’s something I could do. Which is true. They do not seem enthusiastic at the prospect and I don’t want more kids anyway so it’s not like we’ve gone into a ton of detail.

But no way would I ever be allowed to be a surrogate despite two healthy babies born full term vaginally, and no flippin’ way would I ever advocate for myself to be one no matter how much I loved the parents. [/quote]

I had a doctor offer me a VBAC with less than 1mm residual myometrium, 15% uterine rupture risk (maybe more). Oh, and he didn't tell me it was that thin. I could tell from his body language he was a BS artist. [/quote]

Terrifying. [/quote]
