Is surrogacy safe for the baby and surrogate mother? Intended parents and surrogates wonder frequently about this. At Ekmi Fertility, safety is our first concern, and the answer is yes: when conducted under proper medical supervision and ethical review (of both surrogate candidate volunteers as well as re-productive material used) surrogacy is safe for all involved parties.
Safety for the Surrogate Mother
The surrogate’s health comes first. Here’s what we do for her:
Comprehensive Medical Screening
Before anyone becomes a surrogate, we do very extensive evaluations:
Full body check-up and premedical history discussion
Serological markers and hormones in blood
Uterine health assessment through ultrasounds
Psychological experience checks to ensure you are emotionally ready
Maximum allowable ages (usually 21 to 45) for best health
Monitoring Throughout Pregnancy
We don’t just take care until we transfer the embryo. My team monitors the surrogate’s health, conducting regular checkups, ultrasounds and blood work. Any complications get addressed immediately.
Hypothetical Risks and How We Manage Them
Let’s unpack that: surrogacy comes with the risks that come with any pregnancy (like gestational diabetes, preeclampsia or a cesarean delivery). The difference? We filter out those judged most at risk and deliver great prenatal care aimed at minimizing these hazards.
Is Surrogacy Safe for the Baby?
There are no known health risks associated with surrogacy to children born by means of it. What this really means is that the process of conception is not harming the baby.
Embryo Quality Matters
At Ekmi Fertility, we only transfer the best embryos. Genetic tests are even able to detect chromosomal irregularities prior to implantation, minimizing the possibility of genetic diseases.

Experts in high-valued pregnancies and specialty care teams
How Ekmi Fertility Guarantees Safety in Surrogacy
Here’s the thing: Safety does not just accidentally occur. We have put in place guidelines that protect everyone.
Our Safety Standards Include:
Choosing surrogates who have had their own successful pregnancies
Close family relationship between surrogate and intended parent (in India as per the law)
Collaborating with senior obstetricians during pregnancy
Providing 24/7 medical support access
Clear communication between all parties should be ensured
Psychological Support
Emotional safety matters too. We provide counseling to surrogates and intended parents to discuss fears and create robust support systems.

What Research Shows About the Safety of Surrogacy
There is ample research showing that risk to babies from gestational surrogacy (as opposed to traditional surrogacy, also sometimes called genetic surrogacy) do not go beyond the normal risks of pregnancy. Surrogates who are approved through extensive health screenings tend to go on to experience safe and healthy pregnancies.
The key factor in safety? Selecting an established fertility centre with adherence to medical protocols and complete care.
