Pregnant Woman

No, not a good idea, for the same reasons I don't feel that IVF is a good idea. It's basically the same process, only taking it a step further and implanting in another woman.

agreed, plus you have the added moral dilemma of separating a birth mother from a child she has been nurturing and growing inside her and both have bonded. I've heard bad stories of the parents deciding against keeping the child and trying to force the surrogate mother into aborting. make me shudder to think of how far we've come in artificial reproduction so that we're almost treated like lab creatures.

Haven't been sleeping well at night...keep waking up early in the morning and just cant go back to sleep. Sadly, this morning was actually decent, made it to 5:30 before waking up. Yesterday was 1:30 and finally fell back asleep at 4, only to oversleep and be late for work.

Yes, I agree. Lab coats dont belong in the bedroom...my wife and i went as far as undergoing treatments for infertility but stopped when it wasnt working. Did the whole timing thing and what not, that was bad enough and none of it felt natural, and the hormones we were on made us feel awful.

Ugh, I hear ya, for once all the kids are alseep and I've been wide awake since 2am. I would normally panic about how I'll survive the day but hubby is off work so I'll be able to catch a nap when the exhuastion hits me later, lol I hope you can get some rest soon.

The whole IVF connundrum is difficult because I understand a couple's desire to have children is a good one, but I can't support anything that implements artificial means especially when there are so many children who have already been born who need loving parents.

Also, I cant imagine a scenario like what you mentioned, that sounds terrifying. Oddly enough, it's not the other woman carrying and bonding with the child that bothers me as much as it is the process. My daughter was carried and bonded with by another woman, she just conceived naturally. Still, I dont think its necessary or what God intended for us to do. But to have someone tell the pregnant woman she must abort...geez that would get me locked up right there cause someone would get their a** kicked!

Put your gut away, already, lady. We all know you squeezed out a plethora of rugrats :P

yes I did, and I'm doing my best to put it away but the way the twins stretched me out I'm not sure I'll ever get my Sofia Vergera body back :P

I'm svelte.

Sofia Vergera *drools uncontrollably*

svelte, sure, especially now that you have drool all over your clothes.

Clothes? Hardly.

lol, clever Homer

You should have rubbed Cocoa butter on it. Does miracles for stretch marks.

Did you know that you only gain fat cells during pregnancy and adolescence?

I have that oh stretch mark expert, ;P and that's not my problem. Thanks you're really not encouraging me since I've been through both those and probably gained enough fat to last the rest of my life.

B b but as long as you stay unpregnant and not be a kid, you're all good!
