I personally did not have any troubles with the pregnancy. I had a really great pregnancy however, I did get put on early disability due to stess at work I guess i was considered per-term labor at the time. ( I had the baby at 39 weeks though and very healthy) I was a surrogate for a couple that I met though an agency. Now we are very good friends. I think it would be great for you to be a surrogate for your sister in law, although I personally would get a contract made up before you decide to follow through with this. This will only protect you and your sister in law.
