Mother in India

• When all the other fertility treatments like IVF
  have failed there is only one way to have a child
  of your own. It is getting a surrogate mother.
• If you are thinking of getting a surrogate for
  having a child it is extremely important to be
  cautious while selecting one. Legal and medical
  issues are very important to address in getting a
  surrogate mother.

In general, there are two types of surrogacy

• Gestational  Gestational surrogacy is the one
  which only carries the pregnancy for the intended
  parents after implantation of the embryo in vitro
  in the clinic laboratory. The surrogate mother
  here is just the carrier and no genetic
  connection remains between the baby and the
  surrogate mother.
• Traditional  Traditional surrogacy involves the
  pregnancy by a natural or artificial process
  involving the whole process of pregnancy with the
  surrogate mother. This type bears a relationship
  between the baby and the surrogate mother.
• The Gestational type of surrogacy is mostly
  preferred over the traditional one, since it
  involves lesser legal complications than the
  later.

Here are the precautions you need to take while
choosing a surrogate for your child

• Find out how the clinics get women as surrogates
• Fertility clinics or surrogacy clinics have
  database or surrogates. They are mostly women who
  are friends or relatives of the women have been
  surrogates before. It is very important that they
  select the options for your surrogate wisely. You
  cannot compromise on anything when it comes to
  getting a surrogate for your child.

• Make sure that the woman has done proper
  documentation
• A surrogate mother has to do documentation by
  providing all original documents related to their
  name, age, address, marital status, husband name,
  bank account, gestational parity, children, etc.
  Checking her background is also necessary.

• Inquire about her medical conditions if any
• A surrogate mother is expected to undergo
  investigations (surrogate screening tests) to get
  into a surrogacy program. The more the clinic the
  better it is. Hysteroscopy, ECG, Chest X ray, all
  help in ruling out any medical problems that
  might be present. A fertility expert will
  evaluate the hormonal status, pelvic condition,
  etc. Medical counseling is done explaining the
  expected and unexpected complications of
  pregnancy. Dental checking can reveal about
  tobacco addiction.
