Under what circumstances is a Gestational Carrier (surrogate) appropriate?
A woman who accepts to bear (or be pregnant with) the child of another woman who is incapable of becoming pregnant using her own uterus is called a gestational carrier. Women who need gestational carriers with IVF include those who do not have a uterus, have an abnormal uterine cavity, have had several recurrent miscarriages or have had recurrent, failed IVF cycles. “Surrogate” is an older term for what we now refer to as a “gestational carrier”.
