It's unclear how rare it is for a woman to carry her own grandchild, but recent news reports have detailed similar relationships.

Last year, a 53-year-old Iowa woman gave birth to her twin granddaughters. And in 2017, a 49-year-old woman in Maine gave birth to her grandson.

McKinnon said she was grateful and overwhelmed by her mother's offer, which eases some of the obstacles and financial burdens for parents using a gestational surrogate.

According to Utah law, surrogates must be 21 or older, financially stable and must have already given birth once.

Couples must be married and are allowed to offer a reasonable payment to a surrogate.

On average, a couple can spend about $60,000 on procedures and paying the surrogate, but McKinnon said her mother's offer to help is saving the couple about half of that.

Both she and her daughter said they've bonded over the experience.

The baby girl is due in early February.

据美联社1月8日报道，在美国犹他州普洛佛，一名58岁的妇女未来几周内即将产下她的第一个孙女。

因女儿和女婿长期不孕不育，母亲朱莉亚·纳瓦罗为其代孕。

女儿洛雷娜·麦金农和丈夫米卡·麦金农三年前就开始准备生孩子。不幸的是，32岁的她习惯性流产，最长的孕期只有10周。

几经努力后，这对夫妇开始寻找代孕。虽然曾有一位朋友和姐姐都考虑过为其代孕，但最终还是放弃了。
