Can my mother who is 49 be a surrogate mother for me?

by Sirlene

I am 32 yrs old, been trying to have a baby for 10 years but have had 7 miscarriages and 3 ectopic pregnancies, my right tube is gone and my left is blocked but I still ovulate, can she carry my baby, especially if she already had her menopause and had her last child 22 years ago, is that even possible? She had 3 children and never had any type of problems during her pregnancies.

It is very common for one family member to act as a surrogate for another family member. And although your mother would be too old to be a surrogate for just "anyone", as long as she passes the doctor's approval, she could probably still be a surrogate for you.

She would need to undergo hormone treatments to reverse menopause.

Here are two recent examples of women who carry their own grandchildren, after starting menopause.

Remember, each situation is different, and there are many factors to consider. So yes, it is possible, but it will still depend on a lot of factors from her, mainly her health. Your clinic will ultimately determine if she will be able to be your surrogate.

Best wishes!

Thanks for posting about this.

You've probably heard this before, but you are very fortunate to have such a wonderful relationship with your mother.

Best to both of you!
