Outsourcing of Womb

gypsy gal
By gypsy gal

More and more women are becoming career minded and hence they are opting to surrogacy in the West and even in other parts of the world, where motherhood is considered as the noblest phase in a woman's life. Keen to become mothers and yet not willing to put their careers on hold, these career-driven women have given a new twist to the concept of outsourcing. This trend is giving rise to many sociological issues, like,
A. Are women trying to sidestep the challenge of bearing children?
B. Has the pressure of balancing a home and career begun to take its toll?
C. Do people believe that in an era of consumerism, everything can be bought?
But if we look at from another point of view, I feel that these surrogate mothers are not doing any kind of offense. After all, they are bringing smiles to many childless families. Provided, that the health risks associated with the process must be taken care of.
What do you all think? Is it right or wrong?

To prepare for it, girl.

So stay healthy, live healthy...don't forget once in a while visit to the gyne...never to early to prepare, sweetie.

By the way, if you happen to watch an old film "Look who's talking", starred by John Travolta. It's a light comedy film but you might get some idea...

Whatever happens, happens azilana, the main point is that I know I want kids and as hard as I know it will be, I won't let not having a husband stop me from having them. :)

Be careful of what you wish for...Fate may play a trick on you and your wish might come true.

When I was a kid, I'll always tell myself "When I grow up I want to take care of my kids without the headaches of having a husband". Funny thing though, my wish came true. But i went thru hell and back to raise up my kids on my own.

But I've no regrets, dear...I got great kids...

I feel that I cannot stand the idea of bearing another child ever again. If I ever want another baby I will clone it, or adopt it or order it from a catalogue or whatever. But I'm not having a baby sitting on my bladder, pressing up my stomach and squeezing my lungs ever again, ever. Especially since I have to be at work at seven am up until two, and then take care of my daughter and keep the house clean.

As for a child out of the wedlock, Gipsy, as long as you are financially able, responsible enough and ready to go through the misery of nine months of pregnancy, then I can't see why not.

I guess its just been a bad spell of time so far ... Hopefully things will get better soon for u !!! U just gotta have hope however bleak ur chances might look out here !!!! U always have all of us here at QL with all this nonsense to take ur mind of all the stuff going on in ur personal life :)

Not the people r7, the men. I've never met a bigger pack of lying dogs in my life. And not just the Arab men, but the Western men too! But that could just be me.

Come on Gypsy r u actually saying the place and the people here have affected u tht bad... Seriously I have seen so many happy couples and people who have had long lasting relationships here... either way I still believe some 1 will sweep u off ur feet !!! Eventually !!!

Oh yes cjpdad27, such quality offers! Actually I never considered having a baby on my own till I moved to Qatar. For some reason this country has completely put me off marriage. I wonder why?

By cjpdad27• 10 Apr 2007 11:54
cjpdad27

With all the daily offers from men on QL, how can you not want a husband? LOL I mean with so many quality offers out there. Ha Ha

My two sense, I think a woman should be able to have a baby if she wants to have one. However, we are NOT in a country that allows such things. It really doesn't matter if I think it's right or wrong. It is just my opinion.

I haven't decided on that Azilana, if I'm going to do it, it won't be for a couple of years. But it would probably be AI, since I don't want to have to deal with a father who might want to be in the picture.

And surely I must do some self-introspection! I've obviously never done any that's why I think I am strong enough and self sufficient enough to care for a child on my own, and to know that I defintely want children. :P

This also ties into your previous post about women and their images. I have talked to quite a few ladies who don't want to have kids because they are scared of the way the body changes. They want to maintain a certain look or figure.

I guess you can say some people outsource the raising to nannies, grandparents, schools. So why not just have the kid as a trophy to say you have one and put it on a shelf to show people when they come to your house.

Grow up. Stop being so selfish and decadent you spoiled western brat. Get yourself a tall, charming fair skinned sputnik or a cute sri lankan account and get a grip. Don't try and inflict your CIA propganda on us. Get out. Go back to your own country.

who got pregnant here in Doha with their husband/boyfriend and went home to give birth and come back with the kid. As long as documents are in order, there's no problem.

But in your case Gypsy, I don't know. Would it be an AE (or is it AI?) or with partner? Just asking, bcoz it's seems you're really contemplating on having a kid.

it's a good option for example in case of infertility. but what worries me most is if the surrogate mother decided to keep the baby. it doesn't happen often , but i saw a movie about it that gave me the creeps ! but that's just me~

More tolerance and patience in the Middle East! Sure there is, that's why I would be deported for having a child out of wedlock! All that tolerance and patience.

By anonymous• 10 Apr 2007 09:41

Thats where the whole problem lies... When people follow their hearts they become adamant stubborn families collapse, and thats why there is more tolerance and patience in the Middle east or even in many of the Asian countries... There is absolutely no sense of where to apply the mind and thngs are wayward and off the course.....

Western sort of democracy is simply uprooting the family values

Mess that u will get in alot of interogations how where when who blah blah blah believe me you dont try this here in ISlamic State. There are several cases here in the capital police i never heard if they were jailed for long term or short term a whole mess also that the CID will try to trace out all ur links ur where abouts any thing that can be useful for them to make u guilty

I agree with charmed on that one. If you don't want to carry a child adopt one. It's not like there aren't needy children out there.

By Gypsy• 10 Apr 2007 08:53
Gypsy

But how is having a child willingly out of wedlock a mess? I'm an adult, I want children, but I don't think I want or will find a husband. Finacially I can take care of a child, here in Qatar especially where I can easily afford a Nanny. Frankly isn't my decision to have a child my business?

By charmed• 10 Apr 2007 08:53
charmed

you would be deported if you did that one!!! Wrong i know! Maybe have the baby outside of Qatar and then come back!

Sorruogacy is a difficult topic, i mean if a women cant carry children then im all for it! Its hard for all partied, especially for women who deal with infertility and the women who carry the surrogate child.

But using a sorrogate mother purely because women cant be bothered to carry a baby??? Thats crazy and i dont think thats the right at all. if they cant be bothered to carry a baby then they shouldnt have one in the first place!!! It should only be used when women cannot carry children!!!

By DaRuDe• 10 Apr 2007 08:50

Wrong u will be jailed u will be deported so sad u will Leave us all :(

As long as there is consent I am not against it. I worry about the surrogate mothers mental state, to carry a child for 9 months and then give it away would be difficult.

The west is the west though, and people are a lot freer to follow their hearts and do what is right for them.

I for one have been thinking that I would like to have a baby in a couple of years, but I'm not sure I want to get married. The way my life is here I could manage this pretty easily, but it is illegal for me to have a child out of wedlock and I would be deported. Is that right or wrong?
