　　Utah mom to give birth to daughter&aposs daughter

　　A 58-year-old Utah woman is set to give birth in a few weeks — to her first grandchild.

　　Julia Navarro is serving as a gestational surrogate for her daughter and son-in-law after the couple struggled with fertility problems.

　　Navarro&aposs daughter Lorena McKinnon said she began trying to have a baby with her husband, Micah McKinnon, three years ago. The 32-year-old Provo woman said she&aposs had about a dozen miscarriages, with the longest pregnancy lasting 10 weeks.

　　After several tries, the couple began looking for a surrogate. McKinnon said a friend and sister both considered carrying her baby, but ultimately decided against it.

　　That&aposs when her mother offered to step in.

　　"As a family, we have to help each other," Navarro told The Salt Lake Tribune .

　　Navarro had to undergo hormone shots for three months bore an embryo fertilized by her daughter and son-in-law could be implanted. Because of her age, doctors had warned there was only a 45 percent chance the implantation would be successful.

　　But the procedure was a success, and Navarro said she&aposs had a smooth pregnancy carrying a developing baby girl.

　　As with other surrogacy arrangements, the couple and Navarro needed three months of counseling.

　　"The psychologists wanted to make sure we knew what we were getting into — that we were mentally prepared," McKinnon said. "Mostly, surrogacy contracts are with people you don&apost know. It was weird to have a contract with my mom."

　　It&aposs unclear how rare it is for a woman to carry her own grandchild, but recent news reports have detailed similar relationships.

　　Last year, a 53-year-old Iowa woman gave birth to her twin granddaughters. And in 2012, a 49-year-old woman in Maine gave birth to her grandson.

　　McKinnon said she was gratul and overwhelmed by her mother&aposs offer, which eases some of the obstacles and financial burdens for parents using a gestational surrogate.

　　According to Utah law, surrogates must be 21 or older, financially stable and must have already given birth once.

　　Couples must be married and are allowed to offer a reasonable payment to a surrogate.

　　On average, a couple can spend about $60,000 on procedures and paying the surrogate, but McKinnon said her mother&aposs offer to help is saving the couple about half of that.

　　Both she and her daughter said they&aposve bonded over the experience.

　　The baby girl is due in early February.

　　據(jù)美聯(lián)社1月8日?qǐng)?bào)道，在美國(guó)猶他州普洛佛，一名58歲的婦女未來(lái)幾周內(nèi)即將產(chǎn)下她的第一個(gè)孫女。

　　因女兒和女婿長(zhǎng)期不孕不育，母親朱莉亞·納瓦羅為其代孕。

　　女兒洛雷娜·麥金農(nóng)和丈夫米卡·麥金農(nóng)三年前就開(kāi)始準(zhǔn)備生孩子。不幸的是，32歲的她習(xí)慣性流產(chǎn)，最長(zhǎng)的孕期只有10周。

　　幾經(jīng)努力后，這對(duì)夫婦開(kāi)始尋找代孕。雖然曾有一位朋友和姐姐都考慮過(guò)為其代孕，但最終還是放棄了。

　　此時(shí)，她母親主動(dòng)提出為其代孕。

　　納瓦羅告訴鹽湖論壇報(bào)：“作為一個(gè)家庭，我們要互相幫助?！?/p>

　　在女兒和女婿受精的胚胎植入前，納瓦羅要接受3個(gè)月的荷爾蒙注射。由于高齡，醫(yī)生曾警告胚胎植入成功率只有45%。

　　幸運(yùn)的是，整個(gè)過(guò)程進(jìn)行得很順利，納瓦羅說(shuō)自己成功懷上了一個(gè)女嬰兒。

　　與其他代孕程序一樣，這對(duì)夫婦和納瓦羅需要接受為期3個(gè)月的心理咨詢。

　　女兒說(shuō)：“心理醫(yī)生想確認(rèn)我們清楚面臨的狀況——但我們已經(jīng)做好心理準(zhǔn)備了，通常代孕合同是和陌生人簽的，和我母親簽合同感覺(jué)怪怪的?！?/p>

　　生完女兒又生孫女的事很少見(jiàn)，但最近的新聞報(bào)道中也出現(xiàn)類似的情況。

　　去年，愛(ài)荷華州一名53歲的婦女產(chǎn)下了一對(duì)雙胞胎孫女。2012年，緬因州一名49歲的婦女產(chǎn)下了孫子。

　　女兒麥金農(nóng)說(shuō)母親的幫助讓她感激又感動(dòng)，因?yàn)檫@樣也減輕了代孕的困難和經(jīng)濟(jì)負(fù)擔(dān)。

　　根據(jù)猶他州法律，代孕者必須21歲以上，經(jīng)濟(jì)收入穩(wěn)定，且必須已生育一次。

　　只有已婚且能提供合理報(bào)酬給代孕者的夫婦才允許申請(qǐng)代孕。

　　平均一對(duì)夫婦花在代孕程序和代孕者報(bào)酬的費(fèi)用為6萬(wàn)美金(約合36.3萬(wàn)人民幣)，不過(guò)因?yàn)槟赣H的幫助，麥金農(nóng)可以省掉一半的費(fèi)用。

　　她和母親都說(shuō)這次經(jīng)歷增進(jìn)了她們的感情。

　　女寶寶即將在二月初出世。
