Surrogacy Procedure

In a surrogacy procedure, the infertile couple hires a surrogate mother. The surrogate woman carries the baby in her womb as the original mother cannot carry the baby in her womb.

Initially, the body of the surrogate mother may not allow carrying a baby in her womb, but it can be handled through proper medication.

The eggs are then taken from the original mother at the right time and are implanted into the womb of a surrogate with the father’s sperm. If the male partner is infertile, the sperm will be taken from a sperm donor to handle the surrogacy process. The surrogate mother carries the baby in her womb and agrees to give the child to the actual parents after delivery.

The baby will be genetically the child of the original parents. But, the surrogate mother carries and delivers the baby.

Surrogacy is being opted for when a female uterus got removed due to some underlying medical condition. It has also been opted for even when a woman has a uterus defect.

Couples also opt for surrogacy when the woman experiences multiple miscarriages. Surrogacy is an emotional journey and both partners should be emotionally and mentally prepared for the procedure.
