Pregnancy Complications in Surrogacy: What to Expect and How to Handle Them
But, despite the thorough planning and support, unexpected complications can occur during any pregnancy, including surrogacy.
Understanding Pregnancy Complications in Surrogacy
Pregnancy complications can happen in any pregnancy, including those involving a surrogate mother. The surrogacy process is a highly structured and monitored journey, but like any pregnancy, there are inherent risks that cannot be entirely predicted or avoided. These complications can vary in severity, from mild discomforts to more serious health concerns that require medical intervention.
Common Pregnancy Complications in Surrogacy
During the surrogacy process, several common complications might arise. While surrogate mothers will experience these issues not necessarily everyone it’s essential to be aware of the possibilities:
- Gestational Diabetes: This condition is characterized by high blood sugar levels during pregnancy. Surrogacy clinics closely monitor the surrogate mother’s health, ensuring any signs of gestational diabetes are managed promptly to protect both the surrogate and the baby.
- Preeclampsia: Preeclampsia is a serious condition that involves high blood pressure and potential damage to organ systems, most often the liver and kidneys. Surrogacy agencies take this condition seriously, and early detection through regular check-ups is vital.
- Preterm Labor: Preterm labor occurs when the surrogate mother goes into labor before 37 weeks of pregnancy. Surrogacy clinics are equipped to handle such scenarios, often requiring bed rest or hospitalization to delay labor and give the baby more time to develop.
- Placenta Previa: This condition occurs when the placenta covers the cervix, leading to complications during delivery. Surrogacy agencies work with experienced obstetricians to manage this condition, which may require a cesarean section for delivery.
- Miscarriage: Unfortunately, miscarriages can occur even in surrogacy. While surrogacy clinics strive to minimize risks through careful screening and monitoring, this sad event can still happen. NEWHOPEPOINTS offers emotional and psychological support for all parties involved during such difficult times.

- Specialized Care: If complications arise, surrogacy clinics provide access to specialized medical care. Surrogacy agencies collaborate with experts in maternal-fetal medicine to ensure the best possible outcomes for both the surrogate and the baby.
- Support Systems: Emotional support is vital during any pregnancy, especially when complications occur. Surrogacy agencies, including NEWHOPEPOINTS, offer counseling services to help surrogates and intended parents navigate the emotional challenges that may arise.
