Opinions

So here's a little background. I just turned 21 and I've always wanted to have kids. I became pregnant and had my child 2 months ago. pregnancy and labor were perfect and I enjoyed every minute of it (i know it's weird but it was always my dream I enjoyed it to the fullest) I want more kids but I don't want my kids to be far apart in age. I told my boyfriend that 2 years from now is my max and after that I'd really have to think of having more. I love being pregnant and would love to be again but I don't want another baby right now. I have thought of surrogacy and want to do it because I want to give the same joy I have to another family who cannot have kids of their own. My boyfriend was never up for surrogacy but has now came around my mother on the other hand is against it and I really want to be a surrogate. I decided to look into it but first I came onto here to see what you ladies had to say about it and then I came across a post (i didn't read it but the title got me thinking) it said how do your children feel about you being a surrogate and then I thought. I want to be selfless and give other parents joy but then again I'm being selfish and not once in this process have I thought of my newborn. I know it'll take time for me to be matched and get pregnant but I'm going to have a toddler by then and what if i do go ahead I won't be able to be there and do the things my child wants because I am pregnant and protecting the baby of someone else. For example, I won't be able to run around with my toddler or pick him up as much. I want opinions and help from mommys who have done it before with a toddler
