I want kids young (preferably at least one by the time im 23) but i also want to go medical school. Is it crazy/unethical to consider having a surrogate carry the baby if i were in medical school. Then at least i could at least focus on my studies without having to deal with extra stress because of the changes going on in my body. Of course i would still take maternity leave but that's still 9 months that i will be able to continue in uni.
Is this a completely insane and stupid idea? PLEASE BE HONEST THANKS
** I'm only 16 right now so sorry if i do sound immature i just really want a family but also want a career

Its possible to have both. Do you think every doctor currently has no family or kids?

Yeah a little insane. You want to study medicine and be looking after a baby? Do you have a partner in all this?
You will have placements (some nights), how do you take care of the baby? How do you have a normal social life? How will you afford it? There are so many things to consider and I don't think you have thought this through......

Having children whilre you're in full time education and doing work placements on top is a very bad idea

It sounds completely insane to me personally. Using a surrogate is one thing. It’s illegal to charge a fee but you are liable to cover their expenses. Where is the money coming from? When it’s born how are you going to cover your crazy med student hours and study with a baby? Or are you planning on letting someone else do everything? In which case it’s pointless.
You should wait until you are settled and ready

I think you should wait and see what's going on in your life when you're 23, sounds like you're hugely overplanning at the moment.
You can definitely have a family don't worry. There is life after your early 20s...

Bear in mind very poor mat pay if you have a baby whilst unemployed. Babies are expensive.
Also bear in mind that a good 20% of couples can't get pregnant in the first 6 months. Its hard to just schedule a baby.

There is nothing wrong with considering your options in relation to ivf or surrogacy.
But do bear in mind that being a student parent is very demanding in terms of balancing your finances, studies, family life, time and childcare arrangements.
Uni places to study medicine are limited, very competitive and the practical demands of life as a med student then junior doctor are onerous.
I would imagine being a single parent medical student would be a very stressful and extremely difficult balancing act to cope with.
ecolier Any advice?

As pointed out, the pregnancy is a walk in the park compared to the next 18 years!
