Will this pregnancy be different for me from my natural pregnancies?
A surrogate pregnancy can differ from natural pregnancies in various aspects. Emotionally, the connection may vary, as surrogates carry the baby for intended parents. Medical monitoring and legal agreements are typically more intensive, requiring additional tests and adherence to legal requirements. The relationship dynamics with intended parents can range from close bonds to more distant connections. Surrogates often follow a birth plan aligned with the intended parents' wishes. These differences highlight the unique nature of surrogate pregnancies, encompassing emotional, medical, legal, and relational factors.
