amigoblue 寫:"surrogate mother"

Thanks a lot

"借腹生子" is kind of similar to "代理孕母, surrogate mother."

借腹生子 is a Chinese phrase rather than a noun.

How about:
to gestate and deliver a child by a surrogate mother

It is less likely to "gestate and deliver a child" by the same person (if the baby gestated and the baby delivered are the same one).

The mother who gestates will be delivered a baby (by a doctor, midwife, or, more often than not, someone other than herself).
