My doctor told me that some women have so much trouble getting pregnant and giving birth that he is convinced that they just shouldn’t have a baby. He said that I, on the other hand, got pregnant and gave birth so easily, should have babies for these other women! Ours were all early, over a week early, yet all were 7 lb 6 oz to 8 lb 2 oz. Fully formed. I asked what if they had been past due. He told me that I could EASILY have a 10 or 12 lb baby. My body was just built for giving birth. I had our daughter in just 49 MINUTES from start to end. He said I would have made a great pioneer woman. Now this could be true, but my grandmother had 10 babies and bled to death after the last one, refused to go to a hospital. That was in about 1932.

I offered to be a surrogate for my sister. She was going through all kinds of surgeries and treatments to try to have a baby. By the time she gave up on having her own child I was too old to want to be a surrogate. I might have been one of the negative statistics, and I had 3 kids to raise at that time. That was in the early 1990s.

This woman had two children of her own, and this was her second time as a surrogate for her friend. Probably no one expected any complications. Such a sad story.
