While most surrogacy journeys are uncomplicated, some involve multiples or high‑risk factors. Preparation across clinical, legal, and insurance domains keeps families protected.
Medical Considerations for Multiples
Risk of preterm birth and bed rest increases with multiples—plan clinical care accordingly.
- Single‑embryo transfer (SET) policies to reduce risk.
- Enhanced monitoring schedules and MFM consults.
- Bed‑rest planning and activity guidelines.
Insurance & Financial Safeguards
NICU costs can be significant—confirm coverage specifics early.
- Riders for bed rest wage coverage and childcare.
- NICU coverage verification and pre‑authorizations.
- Escrow reserves earmarked for complications.
Hospital & Legal Planning
High‑risk plans require early hospital coordination and airtight documentation.
- Level III/IV NICU capabilities and transfer protocols.
- Pre‑birth order timeline aligned with MFM milestones.
- Scope for consent in urgent scenarios documented.
Case Study
After counseling, one couple chose SET and avoided a twin pregnancy given prior preterm history. The plan reduced risk, simplified insurance, and led to a healthy term birth.
