would you be a surrogate for your friend?
hiya ladies just watched mondays episode of eastenders roxy as decided to be a surrogate for christian and his bf and it got me thinking if you had a best friend who was desperate for a baby would you consider being a surrogate?

I actually have a friend who has been trying over 18months, were not really really close but I thought to myself the other day if she asked I think I would do it. I can only imagine what shes going through and my heart goes out to them both. In fact she has been trying since I was pregnant so I just hope she gets her bfp before me as i would hate to tell her im expecting again x
even though im currently expecting, would want my own babies first then i would in a heartbeat. Having a baby is so special and i know how much i wanted that bfp, so to be able to help someone close to me feel how i did and still do would be such an amazing feeling.

Love the analogy BTW - their eggs my basket
it wasnt easy for us to fall pregnant, even though we did not need treatment, not sure i could share that heartache with another couple, for me although i love being pregnant it is no walk in the park and to do it to then give away the result i just could not, although i do take my hat off to people that can detatch themselves in that way
I couldnt exactly sit there and say 'oh look baby's kicking have a feel'
Im in 2 minds now x
Also I think if at all I would rather do it for a complete stranger because I think having to see somebody else bring up the child you carried (and you would see it if it was your friend or sister) must be very hard so I would rather it was a person I did not know and would never see again in my life... but then again the thought of perhaps one day passing the child in the street without recognizing them is freaky too...wow, this topic is confusing but I think that I would find it too hard emotionally.
But I would support anybody who wants to do it as I think it is a very selfless and generous thing to do.
