so a few days ago i read an article stating about a biological female born without a womb who's got a successfull womb transplate and managed to get pregnant
so i disscussed that with a realy good friend of mine on the phone today and he asked me. [im a straight girl looking into men] "if say 10 years from now they would manage to even take mtf women and have womb transplants in them and those women would be able to get pregnant and give birth would you do it? considering from a young age i wanted to be a mom i stated that yes with all the pain and side effects of pregnancy and giving birth and transplant yes i would do it if it would be possible] to wich he was suprised
so where am i taking this? how many of you girls would have taken that option if and when that would be possible just to be able to give birth? and how many of you actualy wanted to be biological moms?[by wich i mean give birth yourself not a wife in an old life]

i would , but i doubt i would be a good mother

question is.. is anyone realy sure they can be? they do say there is no "how to be a good mother 101 manual" after all

its more like i would be a bad mother , i v got too many issues and i m very unstable

Oh, gosh. Well, for starters, I'm sure I could never afford such a thing. I'll consider myself extremely lucky if I can even afford GRS someday.

But, assuming I could, no, I don't think I would, for a variety of reasons. The first, and biggest one being that I've always believed in adoption. There are too many people on this planet already, and so many orphans who are in desperate need of a family that loves them.

Secondly, that sounds like an incredibly risky way to go. Even normal pregnancy is rough on a woman, but to have such a major surgery using transplanted parts to sustain the pregnancy? That's just way too much risk for me to be at all comfortable taking.

The way I see it, the years spent loving and caring for your children after they're born are what count. It doesn't matter how they came into this world.

So, it's adoption for me, if I ever decide to have kids.

OMG JUST YES. I would do anything to get the money and be pregnant, that's my ultimate life goal like for real, but not now of course. 1- I don't go dat cash. 2- I don't want to be on teen mom on MTV LOL

This is something that had crossed my mind before. There are times where I almost wish I could swap anatomy with my trans male friend. Then we would both be happy =P I would like to be a mom but as it stands I'm not attracted to men so there would be even more hoops to jump through. I'll probably adopt to fill my motherly desires.

I raised my daughter and son alone since she was a few days old and him 1 years old, without their biological mother or any family to aid. That was 8 years ago, so parenting is natural and second nature. So if I could have another child that I birthed via c-section would I?

Yes.

Yes. One of the biggest hurdles for me transitioning is my desire to be a parent. I could always bank my sperm or adopt, but if I could be pregnant and give birth it would solve all of concerns in the future as a transsexual.

I find it interesting that it may be possible to make either an egg or sperm from other body cells in the not too distant future.  If you didn't freeze sperm or eggs, they will be able to be made from skin or other cells.

The possibilities are endless.  Two women could have genetic children together, or two men, or someone otherwise unable to procreate.

I understand some gay men who want to father a child together can co-mingle their sperm and inseminate a donor.  This new technology could allow one man to provide an egg and another to provide sperm and put the fertilized egg in a surrogate.

I have often wished for such a surgery. If it were safe and I was the right age, I would do it in a heartbeat. Nothing would bring me greater joy than to have a child from/for my husband and I. The baby would be blonde with blue or grey eyes. Then I sigh and back to reality.  I do have a stepson though, raised from infancy but to have my very own from my body and hubby...wow!

I would go for it in a heart beat. Ok for us T-girls it would be a little more complicated as we will need a uterus transplant as well.

I would love to be pregnant, to feel a little life growing inside you must be amazing. Pregnancy is one piece of the female experience us t-girls don't get to experience...

The whole experience will be amazing.. Imagine the whole experience, getting the transplant.. healing.. having my first period.. trying to get pregnant.. falling pregnant.. seeing the positive result of the pregnancy test... getting bigger, going to the doc for scans and seeing your child on the scans... getting bigger and feeling the child move and kick... buying baby clothes and setting up the nursery .. having a baby shower.. going to the hospital.. us T-girls will properly have have a C-section.. holding my child for the first time... and breasting feeding.. and then watching the kid grow up.

Yes there will be discomforts.. like loosing my figure (that can be fixed with gym), swollen feet, having a period.. getting fat, cant sleep at night because the kid is active.. and discomfort after the c-section...

but still experiencing pregnancy will trump all that.
