OT some good news

Well I'm pregnant again! Only it's not mine. This is a surrogate pregnancy for another couple. This is my fourth surrogacy, but 8th baby. This time I'm thinking this might be the last one. Although so far baby is great my hips aren't. Hormones cause swelling and it's putting a lot of pressure on my hip. Sometimes I can't stand up without yelling out in pain. Dr hopes it subsides by 12 weeks, which is only a couple weeks away. I'm due Sept 4. Parents, and grandparents of course are thrilled.

Just to answer the curious I only have 2 at home. Baby 1 I placed for adoption, baby 2 lives with family on the other side of the country, baby 3,4,5 were surrogates, baby 6 & 7 are the two I had with hubby. They are 5 yrs and almost 2 yrs old. I'm for sure done having my own. I'm getting too old. It was fun in my 20's but the older you get the longer it takes me to recover. Take Care Joanna Alberta

Joanna, you have my respect! I'm also pregnant, I announced it here a while back, I almost 23 weeks now. For me, it's my 3rd pregnancy and there is no way I could imagine being pregnant 8 times. This one was unplanned and I'm finding it rather a struggle.

Cheers Anne

Wow, Joanna. I've never actually known anyone who has been a surrogate mother--but you must have a heart of gold. It's a big commitment to go through a pregnancy, and to do it for someone else, well that's just awesome!

Sorry your hips are putting up such a fuss. I hope you feel better soon.

Best regards, Michelle in NV
