9 months of Pregnancy Management

Surrogacy agencies typically provide support and guidance to intended parents and surrogates throughout the entire surrogacy process. This includes providing resources, arranging appointments, helping to arrange legal documents, and providing emotional support. They may also offer financial assistance, such as helping to cover medical expenses or providing monthly stipends to the surrogate. The agency may also help facilitate communication between the surrogate and intended parents, as well as aid with the matching process.

Supervising a pregnancy involves regular visits with a healthcare provider to monitor the health of the mother and baby. During each prenatal visit, the healthcare provider will evaluate the mother’s health, discuss nutrition and lifestyle, assess the baby’s growth and development, and provide any necessary tests and screenings. It is important for pregnant women to follow their healthcare provider’s advice to ensure a healthy pregnancy.

There are a variety of tests that may be performed during pregnancy, depending on the stage of the pregnancy and the health of the mother and baby. Some of the most common tests include blood and urine tests (including tests for HIV and other infectious diseases, blood type, and Rh factor); ultrasound; amniocentesis; chorionic villus sampling; and genetic testing if needed.

• 1st Month: while we are waiting for the pregnancy test it’s important to have prenatal vitamins and avoid substances that can harm the developing fetus, such as alcohol and tobacco.
• 2nd Month: By now, we already confirmed pregnancy with a pregnancy test. The embryo is developing rapidly, and the surrogate may experience symptoms such as fatigue, nausea, and breast tenderness.
• 3rd Month: The fetus is now about the size of a peach, and its major organs and systems are developing. The pregnant woman may begin to show signs of pregnancy, such as weight gain and a growing belly. It is important to continue taking prenatal vitamins and eating a healthy diet.
• 4th Month: By now, your surrogate will have another ultrasound and be able to see the fetus moving around. She may also feel the first flutters of movement, known as quickening. It is important to continue attending prenatal appointments and discussing any concerns with the healthcare provider.
• 5th Month: The fetus is growing rapidly and may be able to hear sounds outside the womb. She may experience more noticeable movements and begin to prepare for the upcoming birth by attending childbirth classes.
• 6th Month: The surrogate is now in the second trimester and may begin to experience more physical discomforts such as back pain and leg cramps. We may also begin to plan for the baby’s arrival by setting up a nursery and purchasing baby gear.
• 7th Month: The fetus is now much larger and may be able to survive outside the womb with medical intervention. The pregnant woman may experience more frequent contractions as her body prepares for labor.
• 8th Month: The fetus is now considered full-term and may be born at any time. She may experience more physical discomforts and emotional changes as she prepares for the upcoming birth.
• 9th Month: at this time surrogate is now in the final stages of pregnancy and may experience more frequent contractions and other signs of impending labor. It is important to stay in close communication with the coordinator and the healthcare provider and follow their advice for a safe and healthy delivery.

Congratulations on your upcoming arrival! Preparing for a new baby can be a lot of work, but it can also be exciting and rewarding. Here are some tips to help you prepare:

• Plan your trip: would be amazing if you attend the delivery and you will be there at due time
• Set up the nursery: Choose a room in your home to serve as the nursery and start setting it up with a crib, changing table, dresser, and other essentials.
• Stock up on baby supplies: Purchase diapers, wipes, bottles, formula (if needed), burp cloths, and other baby essentials.
• Learn about baby care: Read books, take classes, and talk to other parents to learn about the basics of baby care, including feeding, diapering, and bathing.
• Plan for support: Consider asking family members or hiring a postpartum doula to help with household chores and baby care in the first few weeks after your baby is born.
• Prepare emotionally: Having a baby is a big change, so it’s important to take care of yourself emotionally. Consider talking to a therapist, joining a support group, or practicing self-care activities like meditation or yoga.

Remember that every family’s needs are different, so don’t feel like you have to do everything on this list. Focus on what feels most important to you and your family, and enjoy this exciting time!
