51-Year-Old Grandma Gives Birth to Her Own Granddaughter
NBC Chicago
Julie Loving just gave her 29-year-old daughter the gift of life for a second time. The 51-year-old delivered her granddaughter as the gestational carrier on November 2, 2020.
New mom Breanna Lockwood made the announcement in an Instagram post, sharing her daughter’s name — Briar Juliette Lockwood — a sweet nod to her own mom.
“My mom was an absolute rockstar through a difficult delivery,” Lockwood wrote in the post. “The sacrifices she took to bring this little slice of heaven into our world takes my breath away. Holding my daughter in my arms my heart is bursting. The feeling of how I would do absolutely anything needed for this child is radiating through me when I look at her, and reflects back on what my mom did for me.”

Lockwood, had struggled with infertility for years, experiencing four failed embryo transfers, two miscarriages and an ectopic pregnancy. After a dilation and curettage (D&C) procedure left Lockwood with problematic scar tissue in her uterus, she and her husband Aaron turned to the idea of using a gestational carrier.
“Most Americans cannot afford a gestational carrier,” said Lockwood’s fertility specialist, Dr. Brian Kaplan of Fertility Centers of Illinois. “It’s over $100,000.”
Loving offered to be her daughter’s surrogate, but Kaplan wasn’t so easily convinced.
“My immediate reaction was, ‘This is not a good thing,’” said Kaplan, who has done more than 20,000 in vitro fertilization procedures in the span of his 29-year career. “Normally a gestational carrier should be under 40 years, but in medicine you have to look at an individual and personalize it.”
After rigorous testing, which included both medical exams and education on possible risks, Loving was given the green light.
SIAP. This is just too weird to ignore.

No way in hell as a woman would I consider that. Creepy as can be.

Can you imagine reading about a grandfather being a sperm donor? People are nuts.

I thought this was an arse thread.

I have only one question, but I’m not going to dig through the article to see if it even gets answered.

I wouldve gone for the old fashioned way if I was the guy. Otherwise this is too weird

You’re an idiot

That’s one way to keep the baby from wrecking the shop during birth

So I had to sit and think about it for a minute.
In typical IVF, it's a surrogate that you pay thousands of dollars for but if you go that route it's likely some stranger. And you always hear about some crazy arse situations where the surrogate doesn't want to give up the baby once they have it. Would it be any weirder than that? I guess you at least know she's not going to refuse to give it up.

I'm ok with this. It's the son-in-law.
