Questions on surrogate mothers?

I would love to be a surrogate mother but i don't know how to get started. Has anyone ever been one or know someone who has? What do you think some of the pros and cons are? Is it common to have a relationship with the parents and child after the child is born?Questions on surrogate mothers?
have you ever been pregnant? because if you have you might change your mind! lol. but i dont know what you can do to get started. but you know i can make a good long list of the pros and cons, but they are mostly common sence. lik ethe pros are:your helping a couple that really wants a baby, your giving them a precious gift,and there is A LOT of money in ti for you, cons: morning sickness, the pregnancy itself, you pretty much have to do all the things they want you to do (such as medical testing, vitamins, and they could possible require a certain diet for you), the doctors visits, uh the whole labor process, risking your life (i mean things happen in that delivery room)....you know just things like that. and as far as having a relationship with the parents and child, im not so sure about. but i would think it would be normal to have a relationship considering you incubated their baby inside of you for 9 months, went through that and labor, just to complete their lives. serrogacy is a very selfless thing, and i think anyone who does that for people they dont know has to be a very special person.
i dunno anything about it. but i can give you some of my personal pros and cons...



1. what if you become to attached to it while you're pregnant? are you strong enough to handle that? even if the parents agree to allow you to maintain a relationship, that doesnt mean they will....



2. do you really wanna put your body through all that? and it not even be for you? or your own baby?



3. i'm 20 and i have a close friend who is 31 with two kids. both were difficult pregnancies and the dr told her if she were to get pregnant again she prolly wouldnt make it. she almost didnt with her last child. She came into a considerable amount of money and asked if i would be willing to be a surrogate for her... i thought about it i really did. several weeks. and i personally just couldnt.



if youre only doing it for the money i'd reconsider....



but if you're doing it bc u truly feel compelled to help someone out then i'd research it more and find out every possible detail. even consult with several different lawyers...Questions on surrogate mothers?
