1 in 6 couples have problems with infertility turning to treatments such as IVF to help them conceive. many women choose to freeze their eggs and now it is even possible for a woman to have a baby on her own. However sometimes it is not safe for a woman to carry a baby and in this instance surrogacy can be a great option for any hopeful mother.
Surrogacy: the facts
The traditional method of surrogacy uses the egg of the surrogate mother and the sperm of the intended father. This can be performed in an IVF clinic, but more often the technique of artificial insemination happens at home. In this situation the baby is biologically related to the intended father and the surrogate mother.
An alternative method of surrogacy known as gestational surrogacy uses the egg of the intended mother combined with the sperm of the intended father or donor sperm. Alternatively donor eggs combined with the sperm of the intended father. In this case an IVF clinic is always required. A baby conceived by this method has no biological connection to the surrogate mother.
But there are risks for parents embarking on surrogacy.
If the surrogate decides to keep the child then she has every right to do so as she is the legal mother. The intended parents have to also consider that the child might be stillborn or handicapped either physically or mentally or both, but these risks are there even if you were to have a child of your own. But if this were to happen and the parents no longer wanted to keep their child then the surrogate mother would be left with a child she had not planned to have.
However, when things go according to plan which they usually do, surrogacy can be an amazing way for parents to conceive. The Infertility Network UK suggests that good communication, trust and friendship is important in a surrogacy arrangement and can reduce the risk of anything going wrong.
