Introduction Surrogacy is a selfless and beautiful decision, but it requires both emotional and physical preparation. If you’re considering surrogacy, taking the right steps to prepare your body is essential for a healthy journey.

Step 1: Medical Evaluations Before starting, you'll undergo medical screenings to ensure you're physically ready. These may include:

  • Physical exams, blood tests, and ultrasounds

  • Tests for infections, hormones, and uterine health

    Tip: Work with a trusted surrogacy agency or clinic, like ACRC Global!



Step 2: Optimize Your Health Once cleared, focus on getting your body ready for pregnancy:

  • Balanced Diet: Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, protein, and healthy fats.

  • Hydration: Drink 8-10 glasses of water daily.

  • Supplements: Take folic acid, iron, and prenatal vitamins as recommended by your doctor.

Step 3: Fitness Routine Regular exercise strengthens your body for pregnancy. Consider low-impact activities like walking, swimming, or yoga. Tip: Always consult your doctor before starting a new workout.

Step 4: Manage Stress Stress management is important during surrogacy. Try:

  • Meditation, deep breathing, or prenatal yoga

  • Journaling or joining support groups

Step 5: Prepare Your Uterus

Hormonal treatments like estrogen and progesterone may be needed to prepare your uterus for embryo transfer. Follow your fertility specialist’s instructions closely.

Step 6: Build a Support System

Surround yourself with family, friends, and professionals who understand your journey and offer emotional and practical support.

Step 7: Mental & Emotional Readiness

Being mentally prepared is crucial. Communicate openly with the intended parents and surrogacy counselors about boundaries and expectations.

Conclusion

Physical, emotional, and mental preparation is key to a successful surrogacy experience. By focusing on your health, seeking medical advice, and building support, you’ll ensure a rewarding journey for everyone involved.
