**Bobyn** can you tell us more about your surrogacy?

I'm nosy and find this really interesting. Of course, no worries if you don't want to share.

Re: **Bobyn** can you tell us more about your surrogacy?

  • I think it's really cool you're doing this!

    What made you decide to do it?
    Friend or stranger?
    Do you want more kids for yourself?

  • Are you worried that you'll become attached to the baby and not want to give it up? 

    I've thought about doing this sort of thing, but I always thought it would be like giving your baby up for adoption (even though it's not your baby, I just think it would feel that way).

  • It really is an amazing thing to do.  I briefly looked into it (very briefly, like, one night on the internet), and realized that it's actually illegal in my state (New York).

    Do you feel more pressure to eat right, make healthy choices, because you're carrying for someone else?

  • This gave me goose bumps.

    Do you guys have something on writing about your future interactions? Like will you get pictures?

  • Wow! I guess I read your siggy but didn't really read it.I always thought I'd do this for a family member if ever needed but now that I'm on Lovenox for pregnancies I don't think I'd be able to. Good for you!

  • Well I've had several miscarriages and the Lovenox is what got me #2. I'm praying that this one sticks and it works for him/her, too. I would think though with my miscarriage history and the Lovenox that I wouldn't be a candidate. My SIL is actually doing IVF this month for the first time. I'd always thought I'd help them but hopefully it works and I won't have to worry :)

  • Lurker here, but I'm curious with how you're being compensated. What if you have out of pocket insurance expenses? Prenatals?
  • What will you do about milk? Will you just get the shot to make it not come in, or will you pump and donate?

  • This is amazing and fascinating. What a wonderful thing to do for another family. I'm always on my mobile and never get to see siggys so I'm glad someone asked you about this. I look forward to reading your blog!
