What Are the Medical and Emotional Risks of Surrogacy in Canada?

Introduction

Becoming a surrogate is an incredible act of compassion, but it’s essential to fully understand the risks involved—both medical and emotional. At Surrogacy4All, we believe informed surrogates are empowered surrogates. This blog outlines the most important risks you should consider and explains how our team supports your health, safety, and well-being from start to finish.

1. Physical Health Risks of Surrogacy

Like all pregnancies, surrogacy comes with physical risks. These may include:

  • Reaction to fertility medications (e.g., bloating, nausea)
  • Embryo transfer discomfort
  • Risk of multiple pregnancy (twins or triplets)
  • Gestational diabetes or hypertension
  • Cesarean delivery or preterm labor
  • Postpartum recovery complications

2. Emotional and Psychological Risks

Surrogates may experience a range of emotions throughout the journey:

  • Emotional attachment to the baby
  • Anxiety about the health of the child
  • Stress during legal or family negotiations
  • Sadness or grief post-delivery

Surrogacy4All provides counseling and peer support to help you manage these feelings safely.

3. How Surrogacy4All Minimizes Medical Risk

We partner with the top fertility clinics and OB-GYNs in Canada. Our surrogate screening includes:

6. Long-Term Health and Wellness Monitoring

We check in with surrogates even after the baby is born. Most women feel proud and empowered, but we provide resources for those who need:

  • Extended counseling
  • Family or spousal support
  • Postpartum care referrals

7. Impact on Family and Relationships

Communication is key. Many surrogates report their families feel proud, though some may experience misunderstanding or curiosity. We offer strategies and coaching to help you talk to your children, spouse, and others about your decision.
