An influencer from the USA is sterile. But she longs for a child - so she lets her child be carried by her own mother.

  • The American influencer Breanna Lockwood is sterile
  • She absolutely wants to have her own child - and shares her wish on Instagram *
  • Breanna's mother Julie is now carrying her child

USA - It is arguably the greatest favor a mother can do to her daughter. At the same time, it is also somewhat strange what happens in the Lockwood family. Because 29-year-old Breanna Lockwood is infertile, she has a child carried by a surrogate mother - but not by anybody: she is her own mother .

USA: 51-year-old mother passes all medical tests for pregnancy

Breanna Lockwood is an influencer and has almost only one topic on her accounts: she finally wants a child with her husband Aaron. First, she tries surgery and treatments - unsuccessfully. So she chooses an extremely unusual method: she asks her mother to give birth to her own grandchild .

Julie Lockwood, 51, did not hesitate and underwent medical tests. The result: Despite her age, she passed all the tests. Her physical fitness may have helped her here: she has already run the Boston Marathon and is a triathlete. " Made with a lot of love and a bit of science ", the influencer described on her channel. It was literally a difficult birth: Breanna's attempts to have a child lasted a total of 1311 days. Having a child carried by a surrogate mother is not uncommon for celebrities like Kim Kardashian *. If it is your own mother, yes.

USA: Influencer posts bizarre family photo

The 29-year-old published a photo on Instagram that seems bizarre: The couple looks deeply into each other's eyes while Breanna holds hands with her mother. The child should be born in November, as the mother-to-be reveals.

This very personal type of surrogacy is extremely rare, but not the first time: In Greece, a 67-year-old woman also gave birth to her own granddaughter in 2019. It would not be so easy in Germany - surrogacy is prohibited here , even if it is a foreign mother. The following applies here: A child's mother is the woman who gave birth to the child. This is allowed in the United States. A surrogate mother even had two children at the same time - but only one was from her *.

With this in mind, the sentence "Grandparents do everything for their grandchildren" takes on a whole new dimension. In any case, Breanna Lockwood is “overjoyed”, as she writes on Instagram . Her fans are also happy and wish the young family good luck.
