Surrogacy in Delhi: Process, Types and When It Is Recommended
For some couples, carrying a pregnancy may not be medically possible despite trying different fertility treatments. In such situations, surrogacy can provide a path to parenthood.
Surrogacy allows a woman (the surrogate) to carry and deliver a baby for another individual or couple. With advancements in reproductive medicine, surrogacy has become a structured and medically guided process.
Understanding how surrogacy works and when it is recommended can help couples make informed decisions.
What Is Surrogacy?
Surrogacy is a fertility arrangement where a woman carries a pregnancy for intended parents.
There are two main types of surrogacy:
Gestational Surrogacy
In this method, the embryo is created using the intended parents’ egg and sperm (or donor gametes) through IVF.
The embryo is then transferred into the surrogate’s uterus. The surrogate has no genetic link to the baby.
Traditional Surrogacy
In this method, the surrogate’s own egg is used, making her genetically related to the child.
This type of surrogacy is less commonly practiced in modern fertility treatment.
When Is Surrogacy Recommended?
Doctors may recommend surrogacy in situations where pregnancy is not possible or may be unsafe.
These may include:
- Absence of uterus (congenital or surgical removal)
- Severe uterine conditions
- Repeated IVF failure
- Medical conditions that make pregnancy risky
- Recurrent pregnancy loss
Surrogacy may also be considered when carrying a pregnancy could affect the health of the woman.
Surrogacy Process
Surrogacy involves several medical and legal steps.
Medical Evaluation
Both the intended parents and the surrogate undergo medical screening and evaluation.
IVF Procedure
Eggs and sperm are used to create embryos through IVF.
Embryo Transfer
The embryo is transferred into the surrogate’s uterus.
Pregnancy and Monitoring
The surrogate carries the pregnancy under medical supervision until delivery.
Legal and Ethical Considerations
Surrogacy is regulated by laws in India, and it is important to follow legal guidelines.
Couples should:
- Understand current surrogacy laws
- Work with authorized fertility centers
- Ensure proper legal documentation
Legal clarity is an essential part of the surrogacy process.
