What Questions You Need to Ask Before Becoming a Surrogate?


Few questions that you need to ask before becoming a surrogate are as below-

1. What is your current health condition?

The most important consideration is good physical health. A surrogate mother in India should not have long term or life-threatening illness, should not be a smoker and or use illegal substances. Also, surrogate mother should not be obese because of health risks that would pose for both you and the baby. Other risks include diabetes and high blood pressure. Therefore, the surrogate should have normal Body Mass Index (BMI).

2. Stressed about your financial condition?

Even though you are becoming a surrogate for financial purpose but being stressed-out over money is an undesirable state at any time. Surrogates should not be worried about money. Your mental health can affect your physical well being. Therefore, the amount you receive for becoming a surrogate should never be the main or only reason for wanting to become a surrogate mother.

3. Who are your supporters?

If you chose to be a surrogate, you need to be clear about who all would be around you to assist and support you throughout the process. Although, Pahlajani Surrogacy Home gives you an environment of love and care you need to be around your family and friends who are enthusiastic and positive about her decision to help another family realize their dreams. Also, the prospective surrogate must have reliable transportation, and be able and willing to travel as necessary – for screening, meeting and matching with the intended parents, in-vitro fertilization, and routine medical testing.

4. Why you need to be comfortable about sharing your personal history?

Surrogates need to be open about their medical history and lifestyle with the intended couple as well as doctor. You need to be comfortable about sharing the history of pregnancies, abortions, and/or miscarriages; your psychological stability and any periods of depression or mental illness and your record regarding sexually transmitted disease.
