Laura decided to help her daughter out by doing the most selfless thing. She volunteered to be her daughter’s surrogate. All they had to do was insert her daughter’s egg and her son-in-law’s seed into Laura’s womb.
Making sure she can handle it
Of course, the doctor was concerned about Laura’s age. As a senior, carrying a baby can be dangerous and she and the child would be vulnerable to a lot of complications. Laura was required to go through a series of tests before she was allowed to be a surrogate by the doctors.

For example, her pelvic muscles, the condition of her uterus, and the flexibility of her skin were tested. The doctors did all they can to make sure that Laura can handle carrying a baby in her womb for nine months.
