One of the most common questions we hear at Surrogacy4All is: Can I still become a surrogate if I’ve had a C-section? ”
The answer is YES — in most cases! Here’s everything you need to know if you’re considering surrogacy after a cesarean birth.
General Guidelines for Surrogates with Prior C-Sections
- You must have healed completely from your C-section.
- There should be no significant uterine complications (e.g., thin uterine lining, extensive scarring).
- Your previous pregnancy should have been healthy aside from the surgical delivery.
- You should wait at least 6–12 months post-C-section before applying to be a surrogate.
Why Medical History Matters After a C-Section
Surrogacy agencies and fertility clinics prioritize your health and safety. Previous C-section reports and ultrasounds are reviewed carefully to assess:
- Uterine wall strength
- Scar tissue condition
- Overall ability to carry another healthy pregnancy
Medical Screening for Surrogates with C-Section History
- Detailed medical history review
- Uterine evaluation via sonohysterogram or saline ultrasound
- Clearance from a fertility specialist
Checklist for Potential Surrogates After a C-Section
- Fully recovered and feeling healthy
- OB records available from your prior C-section
- No serious post-surgical complications
- Cleared by a physician or fertility clinic
- Meeting all other general surrogacy requirements
FAQs About C-Sections and Surrogacy
Q: Does having a C-section automatically disqualify me?
Ans. Not at all! Many wonderful surrogates have had previous C-sections.
Q: Will I automatically need another C-section if I carry as a surrogate?
Ans. Not necessarily. Your delivery plan will be based on your medical history and discussions with your OB.
Q: Who reviews my C-section records?
Ans. The fertility clinic and agency’s medical advisors will review them carefully before approval.
