When Breanna Lockwood couldn’t get pregnant, her mother, Julie Loving, stepped in. Loving is acting as the surrogate for her daughter. Science made this 51-year-old mama back at it again and she is expecting a baby this year.
Lockwood, a dental hygienist, and her husband, Aaron, began trying for a baby almost immediately after they wed in 2016. The natural way just wasn’t working. After enduring multiple IVF treatments which all ended in miscarriages, she was about to give up. Good Morning America reported that Lockwood looked into surrogacy but didn’t have any viable options. She also couldn’t afford to go through a private agency. Pregnancy didn’t seem to be on her cards. That’s when her mom stepped in.

According to Good Morning America, Loving, a mom of two, has been a runner her entire life. When she saw her daughter was struggling with the pain of infertility, she had to do something. After discussing it at length with her husband, Loving approached her daughter. Though she knew that carrying her daughter’s daughter would be unorthodox, she couldn’t just stand by and watch her daughter suffer.
Though her mother is 51, which is not considered a standard childbearing age, Lockwood knew her mother’s intentions were good.
The fertility doctors weren’t on board right away. They don’t disqualify a surrogate purely based on age, but the threshold is typically much younger than the early fifties. Loving wasn’t bothered by this reservation in the slightest. She was healthy and had successfully birthed two of her own children. Loving was cleared to carry her daughter’s baby. Lockwood couldn’t be happier. Her mother is due to give birth to her baby in November, reports GMA.
