Surrogate pregnancy and its important features

A surrogate pregnancy is nothing but an agreement pregnancy where the infant baby is transferred to intended parents.  Carrying the fetus in the womb up to safe delivery is the responsibility of surrogate mother and she will be prepared mentally to carry the task of delivering the baby.  Two types of surrogate pregnancy are followed normally when the couple wishes to have their child through this process.  One method is traditional surrogacy and another method is gestational surrogacy, and it always depends upon various factors that are related to the couple and medical requirements. 

However, in a traditional method, it is an agreement between a  person or couple with a proy mother.  In a gestation method, the mother will be impregnated via medical methods, by using a sperm from a father who is an intended father of a baby.  In another way the sperm may be donated by a sperm bank.  While the egg is used by a proxy mother in a traditional way, in gestational surrogacy, the egg and sperm both can be placed in the uterus through medical procedures.  In some other cases, embryo will be placed in the substitute.   In this case, the mother will protect the embryo and give rise to the baby after the term is completed whereas, she is not considered as a biological mother, since egg, sperm belong to the intended couple or it might from a fertility bank.
