Her daughter-in-law was unable to carry a child
A woman is pregnant with her own son’s baby at 56 after her daughter-in-law was left unable to carry a child - and says she can’t wait to give birth to her granddaughter. Nancy Hauck, 56, offered to be a surrogate for her son, Jeff Hauck, 32, and his wife, Cambria, 30, after her daughter-in-law had a hysterectomy following the traumatic birth of their twins.
“I never planned for it, but I had this feeling not long after Cambria’s traumatic birth that I should carry their baby. “I told them I was willing but that I thought I would be old. "It has been so miraculous and beautiful to watch Nancy carry our sweet baby girl. She has been nothing short of amazing and filled with so much light and grace.Jeff said: "I felt grateful to have such a selfless & loving mum that was willing to make that kind of sacrifice for my family.
“I told my son, and he teared up and was shocked - I hadn’t even told my husband at that point. But he was really supportive. None of us thought it would be possible because of my age.” “It was a bit scary as it had been 26 years since I’d had a baby,” Nancy said. “I had a feeling just before the blood test that it had worked, and I did a test and it was positive.
“It’s remarkable and a beautiful thing to do. I think this is quite a rare thing to do. I never planned for it, but I am so glad I chose to carry my son’s baby.”
