When considering the path of surrogacy, the first step is ensuring the health and safety of everyone involved. Medical testing plays an essential role in building that foundation.

The surrogate requirements usually begin with comprehensive blood work to screen for infectious diseases such as HIV, hepatitis, and other conditions that could affect pregnancy. Hormone level checks, thyroid tests, and overall wellness evaluations are also performed. Another important step is a uterine evaluation, often completed through ultrasound, to confirm the surrogate’s ability to carry a healthy pregnancy.

Emotional readiness is equally important, which is why psychological screenings are included. Many people who wonder, “How does surrogacy work?” are reassured to know these evaluations are designed to protect the surrogate, the intended parents, and the future baby.
