This woman has had 15 babies. And given 13 away.

“I’m just a womb they’ve hired to help them achieve their dream of being parents.”

Carole Horlock has given birth to fifteen babies, only two of which are her own. She’s one of Britain’s most fertile surrogates and is hoping to have a successful pregnancy with her 16^th (possibly 17^th) child.

Just days ago, Carole had two embryos transferred to her womb which belong to a couple she had met just hours before.

“I’m just a womb they’ve hired to help them achieve their dream of being parents. As far as I’m concerned it’s their baby not mine. I know in my heart I’ve made the right decision to approach a mum who is desperate to have a baby of her own, and I’m confident that they’ll be good parents,” she told The Daily Mail.

The 48-year-old offered her services to the couple after she was “dumped” by another pair wanting to become parents, halfway through a cycle of fertility drugs.

She doesn’t know yet whether or not the embryos have successfully implanted.

Carol's actions however, have caused question over her integrity and speculation as to whether or not she has became a surrogate for the right reasons.

“Some people may think that what I'm doing is wrong, as I'd only met the couple in the flesh just 12 hours before having the IVF, but I don't believe it is at all. Ideally, I would have spent more time getting to know them. There wouldn't normally be such a rush, but I'd been having this treatment for another couple who pulled out of the surrogacy with no real reason, which has left me devastated,” she said.

“I didn't want to lose out on the chance to have another surrogate baby for a couple, as I'm now 48 years old. And it seemed such a wasted opportunity when I could use my womb again to help others,” she continued.

She has two daughters of her own, Steffanie, 24, and Megan, 21. Among the 13 children she has carried as a surrogate, she has birthed a set of twins and a set of triplets.

Carole carried her last child in April of 2013. “At the time I said he was going to be my last, but having babies is addictive,” she said recently.

“The thought I could be pregnant again is incredibly exciting – it's the beginning of a journey with the couple which culminates in a magical moment when I give birth,” she explained.
