I hate to be the debbie downer but that's creepy to me. I think it's an amazing gift to give somebody, but I would be to creeped out to do it or have it done for me.

I'm sorry you feel that way...
What a wonderful gift she was able to give her daughter who apparently was unable to carry her own children.

Me too... I was 25 when I was told I possibly had to have a hysterectomy... my mother turned around without even thinking and told me she had no problem being a surrogate for my DH and I...
Now that it thankfully never happened and I just did my first IVF cycle, she again turned around for me last week and said remember, I have no problem being a surrogate if they let me and you need it in the future... I don't think I will need it, and I don't think I would ever ask my mother to be put through that.
But, its a beautiful thing for someone to do, especially your own mother.

this is not the first time a mom stepped in to be a surrogate for a daughter. I think that is a beautiful gift for a mom to give her daughter. if the drs. did not ok it i am sure the daughter would not have gone through with it.

Re: and now for something completely different: 56 yr old grandma gives birth to own grandchildren
my mom always said she would be a surrogate for me or my sisters in a heartbeat if we needed her to.
i personally think it's so much more meaningful to be able to have a surrogate within your own family. but i do understand that it's not for everyone.

Re: and now for something completely different: 56 yr old grandma gives birth to own grandchildren
As much as it's a nice deed she did for her daughter, I totally find it disturbing.. I couldn't imagine my own mother carrying my children.. my sister yes, but not my mother.

Re: and now for something completely different: 56 yr old grandma gives birth to own grandchildren
What an amazing story!
But, I have a technical question:
So, there are 3 babies, right? And it said that 2 of them are identical twins. Which leads me to believe that 2 embryos were implanted, and one of those embryos just happened to split.
So, does that make the other baby a fraternal twin, or technically a singleton? But can she be a singleton if she shared the womb with two other babies? Is she considered a triplet? Or is she considered a twin?
Did I make you dizzy?

Yes, I'm dizzy....but a very valid question I think!

They are considered triplets as three babies grew in the womb at the same time. A singleton is when one baby grows in the womb and is born.
That being said, two can be identical (one embryo splitting).
The third is considered fraternal.
Again, they are all considered triplets, no singletons, no twins.

I think it's great. I actually know someone who's mother did this for her sister and I think she was into her 50's as well. I'm pretty sure she only had one baby though. Haiving triplets at 56- YIKES!!
