Surrogate can be difined as somebody or something used to describe a person or thing that takes the place of, or is used instead of somebody or something else.

Seriously sha, I don't like the sight of a pregnant woman. Especially at that stage the tummy starts protruding.
Maybe it's because I never saw my mom pregnant though, but it just irritates me somehow. I mean no offense.
My wife will try no such thing. Unless we are living in different counties or states and we don't see each other for years.

I'd prefer egg donation to being a surrogate as I'm scared of childbirth, however, I would most def love to.have 4 kids and then adopt 2 or more since there are many kids who deserve to.be loved and taken care of and of course, I have so much love to give. Na money remain and perhaps, husband.
If your husband doesn't approve of it then don't do it, you were fit back then doesn't mean you'll be fit this time. Plus, you aren't married to yourself, you're married to.your husband.

Surrogate my yanch...ivf my..

It's so easy to sit down in your comfort zone and judge what others do or not do in the circumstances they find themselves..
So you think Surrogacy and IVF are mere fads copied from the western world? shocked
Maybe by the time you or yours are childless for 10 years,maybe then you can appreciate what others are going through..

Re: Would You Permit Your Partner To Be A Surrogate? by PerseDew(f): 2:09pm On Dec 14, 2020
There are grey areas to this just like your husband said. I also do not find fault in your thinking. Also in my opinion, it is not too different from organ transplant or blood transfusion. The later two procedures have been normalised and so no one bats an eye lid.

The one that I do not understand is being a sperm donor or egg donor (commercial ones). Like in a few years siblings could meet and get married without knowing they are siblings.

I understand all these procedures have a common aim of being pro life and giving happiness to those that desire a child or want to live and so can't say they are bad. The difference is just that being a surrogate is not yet a popular thing or norm in Nigeria.

I'm sure you know your husband quite well and his way of thinking, you should table the topic and let him decide. Opinions here won't make much difference

Personally, I'm not sure of what my decision will be because pregnancy affect everyone in the family not just the carrier.

You want to do a huge favour, please critically assess how it will affect your family first

I have been pondering on this for several years and I'll appreciate the inputs of good people on this forum.

Way before I got married,I had considered that should I encounter any delay in childbearing,I would be open to 'unconventional' means like IVF, Surrogacy or adoption.
Thankfully,I didn't encounter any delay and my husband and I have had 2 kids.I am not keen to have any more kids but my husband is open to more so we are keeping our fingers for a few more years.

Despite having completed my family (maybe temporarily), I have always kept on my mind the urge to volunteer to be a surrogate for another family.Why not since pregnancy treats me really well,my body snaps right back and I hardly experience that postpartum drag, it's a superpower I feel bad about going to waste since I probably won't be having anymore kids for myself.
Over the years,I have encountered couples I would gladly have engaged in this conversation but every time I run it past my husband (before I get their hopes up) he shoots the idea down.

I found it quite odd at first until I read about a woman who after 2 kids died during childbirth as a surrogate for another couple. That was scary for me but it didn't quite dampen the desire.

The first couple I spoke to him about are friends of ours who have been making efforts and he said he appreciates my kindness but that this is Nigeria where nothing is black and white and he wouldn't want any troubles as a result of it.
I paused for a bit.
We have all been friends for a while since we were all single and there's an adage in Yoruba that translates to 'Communual eating isn't sweet if one person doesn't contribute' and there has been that silent wedge even though it's often ignored.

For me, I can hardly see the downside to this,granted I will have to pause my career for just a few months during the advanced stage or early postpartum phase but that pales in comparison to going on the journey with a friend who can be a part of it every step of the way,can come to Antenatal and ultrasound scans..it's exciting to me.They will be rest assured that I will be taking all the right steps to ensure perfectly healthy babies.Please bear in mind that the baby(ies) will be 100% theirs (husband's sperm and his wife's eggs),I will just be a happy incubator.

There are legal aspects I am happy to follow through as they please and this is no quest for financial gains as my family is more than comfortable.

I also have a cousin who has been trying for a baby but has medical conditions which have hindered this so far and I will do this for her in a heartbeat but I have to convince my husband to allow me.
I have been having sleepless nights about it and I'm hoping that since it's family this time,he won't hesitate to give me his blessings considering it's a sacrifice for him as well.This is the only time I can take this break in my career and I want it to be meaningful.
God answers prayers in diverse ways,maybe this is it for my cousin.

Husbands in the house,how will you react to such a request from your spouse?

Wives,can you volunteer to be a surrogate?

Parents-to-be,will you allow known persons to be surrogates for you or have you considered any downsides to it?

I come in peace and for the love of babies,may the joy go round.
The question is, will your husband be making love with you with the period of your pregnancy? if yes then that will be unfair to those you intend to help.

Sure it's all about understanding and agreement


Plus the surrogate mother should be paid well for all the stress (9 months no be beans)


Anyways I'm a sperm donor (Just saying) undecidedSure it's all about understanding and agreement

It's always cool to help. But if he doesn't support it, do not see your husband as a bad person. Personally I can't accept too and for my personal reasons. Besides I'm not in medical field and not a researcher.
