Surrogate if you don't NEED one?

Question

I've had a great and fairly easy pregnancy. My partner wants another baby ASAP but I really want time for my body to recover. I'm not used to being huge and usually I'm active and doing plenty of gymnastics/yoga.
I miss those hobbies and want to enjoy them again when I get my body back.
 
Because he wants the next baby pretty much as soon as this one is out, we might use a surrogate even though I physically am capable of carrying our baby. 
Would anyone ever do this? If you have, how was it?

Answer

If I'm capable of carrying I wouldn't pay for someone else to carry my child. Maybe after this one comes he will see how sometimes it's stressful and will wait.

Answer

I think I'd feel sad telling my one child you were in mommy a belly and my other you weren't. What would you say when they asked why? Because I didn't want you in there at the time? Just wait until you are physically ready again to carry your own baby if you are medically capable. Good luck!!!

Answer

I mean, if having kids close together is important to both of you, sure I would try it. But you might want to wait because that's still a lot of work for he two of you. Two kids under one or two would be tough!

Answer

If you have the money go for it! They can even have both your egg and his sperm, so that's cool. Do what's right for your family.

Answer

As hard as this pregnancy has been, if I had the money to burn I'd definitely consider it. No shame.

Answer

I wouldn't because I feel this is a great bonding time with my baby. Not just for me. Also for my husband. It just wouldn't feel the same if someone else carried my baby. I'm sure I'd still love the baby, but I feel I'd always have a special connection with the one that I physically carried and grew.
