Health › Re: Would You Permit Your Partner To Be A Surrogate? by annyz: 3:34pm On Dec 14, 2020 |
squad03: 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. Just say u want to have a taste of another man sperm inside you. Why not get pregnant and have more kids for your husband. Your are just trying to fetch ants infected fire wood & hope u will not start groaning when lizards starts visiting u. |

placeofallure: Just pray you marry your friend. When you do, all of that won't matter. I started dating my husband when I was almost leaving secondary school. We dated for 16 more years before we got married. Now, we're about 10 years gone. It's like we just got married yesterday. He never leaves the house without giving me my peck. I'll never trade him for anything. He Pampers me like he just met me. Calculate the years. We're old now but we act like newly weds. It is that way when you are married to your friend, no ulterior motives, just plain companionship. Let us see your pictures then and now so we can understand you better and be in the same page with you. Send ASAP please |

If she decides to open up her can of worms all these years, that would be another bad tales from the guy. Anyway she used the remote control well. |

Patrioticman007: Your mumu never do ?. 1. Its a fact that there are Generals from Igbo extraction among those told to go on isolation, are you trying to tell us Karma is also dealing with igbo tribesmen in the Nigerian armed forces ?. 2. Its a known fact by every man that death is certain upon everybody, what is not certain to man is the hour of death, the last time I checked Dim Ojukwu the great is still alive & commanding the Biafran Secret Service (BSS) from hell. Karma is not tribal or selective. If Igbo general is amongst d one that sold his conscience during the killings. Why not Karma visiting such person  |

Politics › Re: GSS Attack: Staunch Buhari Fan Calls For His Resignation After Brothers' Kidnap by annyz: 1:32pm On Dec 13, 2020 |
SilverNorGold: We have unscrupulous southern elements pretending to be Northerners just to mock us, even here on Nairaland. Members like Kaduna1stSon, Yenefer, etc are examples. They start by praising our beloved father, President Mohammadu Buhari and Northerners and then subsequently unleashing their anti-North agenda.. They don't mean well for us. So they can continue to fool themselves..
That said, I strongly condemn the Kankara GSS attack. The government should do everything possible to arrest the situation and bring the perpetrators to book! More military personnel should be deployed as a matter of urgency to ensure that all civilians are safe and sound. Nothing must happen to anyone otherwise the repercussion may not augur well for the government.. But I strongly believe in the leadership/capability of President Mohammadu Buhari and I am 100% sure he'll handle this issue professionally and intelligently, being an experienced, brilliant and intelligent retired General.
While we await the outcome, I appeal to my brothers and sisters in the North to remain calm and patient.
God bless Nigeria. Military personnel that are in Oyigbo still in search of IPOB members? They are very busy down South. |
