A woman opened up about becoming a surrogate for her son and his wife where she gave birth to her granddaughter.
Nancy Hauck, 56, offered to step in when her son Jeff's wife Cambria had to undergo an emergency hysterectomy.
The 30-year-old had the life-saving operation following the traumatic birth of her second set of twins with Jeff, 33.

Now Nancy, from Utah, US, gave birth to her granddaughter Hannah just last week.
She told People Magazine: "Everything went perfectly and we are feeling so blessed to have her in our family."
It was a "remarkable and spiritual experience" for Nancy with labour lasting around nine hours.
She added: "Even though I know the baby's gone to my son, I know there will be a little bit of that empty feeling."
Nancy plans to take some time off work to write a book about the experience.
Jeff and Cambria met in high school and the couple always knew they wanted a big family.
He said: "From the time I was a teenager, I knew that if I could be one thing, I wanted to be a dad."

The pair struggled for six years to conceive before welcoming twins Vera and Ayva, now four, and Diesel and Luca, now 13 months, through IVF.
But the couple were sad to learn that Cambria couldn't safely carry more children after she was advised to undergo a hysterectomy in September 2021.
She started hormone treatments in January 2022 and injected herself every day for 12 weeks with the help of her husband and Jeff's dad, Jason, 59.
Then in February 2022, Nancy had a fertilised embryo Jeff and Cambria created through IVF transferred which immediately stuck.
Next thing you know she was pregnant with her grandchild.
The family is happy to expand, but Nancy and Jeff they do wonder what it'll be like to be Hannah's grandparents.
Jason said: "I hope we won't treat Hannah any differently. But we'll always have that connection; that Nancy carried her for nine months. Just the magic of the whole experience will always be unique in our eyes."
Nancy concluded: "In my heart I want all of my grandkids to know that they're equally as loved and I would've done it for any of them."
