So, you’re are debating becoming a Surrogate. You’ve likely heard heartwarming stories of life-changing experiences and the joy of helping families grow. But before you dive in headfirst, let’s take a look at three reasons why you absolutely should NOT consider becoming a surrogate...

1. You’ll Become a Walking advertisement
Let’s face it: pregnancy is glamorous. Just think about it! Your body transforms into a miraculous baby-making ad. Sure; you’ll experience the joy of kicks and wiggles…. And who wouldn’t want to be known as the friend who “looks like she’s always smuggling a watermelon”? Your friends will start to treat you like the local zoo exhibit, with all the “Can I touch?” questions. No, thanks!
2. Mood Swings That Could Rival a Soap Opera
Ever wanted to embody the dramatic flair of a soap opera character? Well, pregnancy hormones give you that opportunity—plus a little extra with IVF meds! One moment you’re crying over a commercial about puppies, and the next, you’re plotting revenge against that one person who dared to take the last donut. Not to mention the cravings! Ice cream with pickles at 2 AM? Absolutely! You’ll become the reigning queen of “emotional snacking.” Who wouldn’t want to experience this delightful rollercoaster for nine months straight?
3. You’ll Gain an Unwanted Title: “Surro Mama”
Let’s talk about the inevitable conversations you’ll have with strangers. “Oh, you’re a surrogate? So, are you the baby’s mom?” Picture this: you’re at a dinner party, and someone corners you with a barrage of questions about your relationship with the baby. Spoiler alert: awkwardness ensues. Suddenly, you’re explaining your role in this whole miraculous process to your Aunt for the hundredth time, and she’s still confused. “But you’re not keeping it, right?” Yes, Auntie, I’m giving it away like a yard sale item.
So, there you have it! Three very compelling reasons NOT to be a surrogate. Sure, it’s a beautiful act of kindness and selflessness, but who needs the added chaos? If you’re looking for peace, quiet, and a drama-free existence, just stick to Netflix and your cozy couch. After all, life’s too short to be a pregnant forever!
