A woman's inability to conceive is brought about by her infertility. When a woman follows the treatment process and fails in conceiving spontaneously due to her deformed or missing uterus, among other factors along with a low sperm count and of low quality can result in complications during pregnancy. In such a case when a couple fails to have a child of their own, surrogacy can prove to be the best option. At Sumiran Women’s Hospital we handle services for surrogacy in Ahmedabad.
Surrogacy is a legal arrangement in which a pregnant woman agrees to carry a child to term and give birth on behalf of another couple or individual.
A surrogate mother agrees to conceive and carry a child for another couple, typically pursuant to a legally enforceable contract. It is very safe and predictable for those who cannot conceive.
Traditional Surrogacy.
Here, the surrogate mother becomes genetically linked to the child when she bears a pregnancy resulting from the fertilization of her egg with the sperm of the intended father.
Gestational surrogacy.
Gestational surrogacy is a procedure wherein an embryo is implanted in the uterus of the surrogate using the eggs and sperm either obtained from the intending parent or a donor. Thus, it is guaranteed that no genetic connection exists between the child and the surrogate.
Surrogacy was legalized in India in 2002. Patients wanting quality and affordable medical attention continue to prop up the boom in medical tourism in this country. India has surrogate parentage legislation that entirely relinquishes all parental rights to the carried child for surrogate mothers.
In gestational surrogacy whereby the surrogate only gives out her womb to an embryo from the intended parents' egg and sperm, the biological parents will be entered in the records as the child's legal parents.
