Surrogate Health Requirements

If you’re considering being a surrogate, you probably are aware of the commitment that this journey requires from you. But, have you thought long and hard about the physical challenges you may experience along the way?

Through all of its ups and downs, being a surrogate can be hard on a woman’s body.

These medical requirements exist to protect your safety and the safety of the intended parents’ baby whom you will carry in your womb.

Below, find answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about surrogate health requirements. When in doubt, we encourage you to contact a surrogacy professional or reproductive endocrinologist for more information.
