A Day in the Life of a Canadian Surrogate

Introduction

Becoming a surrogate is a deeply personal and transformative experience. But what does the actual day-to-day life of a Canadian surrogate look like? At Surrogacy4All, our surrogates come from all walks of life, and each journey is unique — yet they share common rhythms of care, support, and purpose. This blog gives you an inside look into a typical day in the life of one of our real Surrogacy4All surrogates.

Morning Routine: Wellness and Preparation

Meet Sarah, a 34-year-old mother of two in Ontario who is 24 weeks pregnant as a surrogate. Her day starts early at 6:30 a.m.

• Takes her prescribed prenatal vitamins and hormone supplements
• Prepares breakfast for her children and gets them off to school
• Completes a 30-minute prenatal yoga session recommended by her doula

Sarah journals briefly about how she feels that morning — part of her emotional check-in.

Mid-Morning: Medical Appointments and Self-Care

On days with scheduled appointments:

• Sarah attends a prenatal checkup at her OB-GYN’s office
• Her agency coordinator checks in via text to ensure she’s feeling supported
• Travel expenses are logged for reimbursement

If it’s a rest day, she might read, take a walk, or join a Zoom peer support call with other Surrogacy4All surrogates.

Afternoon: Family Life and Work Balance

• Sarah works part-time from home and balances her schedule with light administrative tasks
• She makes time for a healthy lunch with lots of protein and hydration
• In between tasks, she responds to a friendly check-in message from the intended parents

They’re grateful and respectful, and Sarah feels a deep sense of connection.

Evening: Emotional Support and Reflection

• After dinner with her family, Sarah takes a short walk with her partner
• They talk openly about the surrogacy journey and future birth plan
• Before bed, she updates her pregnancy journal and reflects on the baby’s development
• She joins a virtual guided meditation offered by Surrogacy4All’s emotional wellness coach

How Surrogacy4All Supports the Daily Journey

Sarah’s story reflects what many Surrogacy4All surrogates experience:

• Access to medical professionals and fertility clinics
• Coordinated reimbursements for meals, travel, childcare
• 24/7 emotional and logistical support
• Legal coverage and partner-inclusive counseling

Every detail of her day is supported by a system that values her role.

Final Thoughts: It’s More Than Just a Pregnancy

Surrogacy isn’t just about carrying a baby — it’s about building a family, empowering a woman, and transforming lives. A typical day might include appointments, yoga, family time, and quiet moments of reflection. Through it all, Surrogacy4All walks with you.
