Know these factors before you opt to become surrogate

Surrogacy can be considered one of the selfless acts performed by women. To establish a family of childless couples, a surrogate will bear the pain, comforts and discomforts of pregnancy. However, surrogacy is involved with both physical and psychological risks. Couples who are seeking surrogates should understand that a lady will feel a psychological trauma at the moment of relinquishing the child born in her fetus. It is not as easy as it appears to the outside world.

The psychological risk faced by a surrogate mother is very difficult to imagine. Therefore, most of the proxy agencies recommend pre-screening tests as well as psychological tests where the surrogate mother is trained both physically and mentally to relinquish the child immediately after birth. The physiatrist mainly concentrates on the four areas which are contact, control, closure and ethics. The doctors encourage surrogate mother to establish a strong bond with the couples with whom they are working for, which helps a mother to hand over the baby after birth. If the bond with the baby is stronger than with the bond of couples; then she may feel difficult to handing over the new born.

Most of the agencies encourage couple and surrogate to establish a good relationship, enjoy each and every moment of the pregnancy. It will help both parties to gain a good relationship with the child. When you understand a person better, you need not worry about hand over your own baby to them.

A lady willing to become a surrogate should concentrate on all these facts and should question herself that is she ready to relinquish the baby after birth? After all, it is the matter of realizing the dreams of a couple who are keenly waiting for it.
