Okay,
I'm not sure who I feel about this one just yet. You tell me what you think.
So, apparently, a 49-year-old woman gave birth to her grandson earlier this
month after he daughter learned that she could not carry a child due to a heart
condition. That's right! A grandma gave birth to her grandson!
Linda
Sirois of Madawaska, Maine offered to carry and deliver her grandchild for her
daughter Angel Herbert, when she learned that it would be too dangerous to
become pregnant. The 49-year-old grandmother claims that 'It was pretty simple'
as far as she was concerned, as she gave birth to a 7-pound, 14 ounce baby boy
named Madden Herbert on August 13. The new granny told her daughter for many
years that she would carry her child if doctors told her that it would be
unsafe to get pregnant. Last summer, doctors confirmed to Herbert, who's 25 and
her husband Brian, who's 29, that pregnancy would be too risky, which led to
the couple turning to Sirois.
Sirois
quickly began contacting local fertility clinics, but was rejected by every single one
because of her age. Finally, the Reproductive Science Center in Lexington, Massachusetts agreed to the
surrogate procedure after she passed several tests. On August 13, Sirois
delivered a healthy baby boy, whom Herbert says is now 'eating like a champ'
and 'doesn't fuss too much.' Granny Sirois, who's given birth to her own four
children including Angel, said that this pregnancy may have been the easiest
thanks to the absence of morning sickness and other complications. She just saw
herself as a room for rent. What a weirdo! Don't get me wrong! This was a very
nice thing that she did for her daughter, but does anyone else find this as
weird? Do you explain to this kid how he was born when he's older or do you
just let him believe that he was born naturally? Also, was this one of those
turkey baster jobs with Brian Herbert's sperm in it? Or did Brian and Granny
Sirois conceive the old-fashioned way? Son-in-law on mother-in-law-style? Just
wondering! My guess was that it was with the turkey baster. So anyone else have
thoughts on this?
