How Surrogate Care Works in Mexico: Monitoring, Vitamins & Medical Oversight
When you’re considering surrogacy in Mexico, it’s natural to want to understand exactly how the surrogate is cared for during pregnancy. Good care isn’t just about medical checkboxes. It’s about consistency, oversight, and real human support.
We’ve supported many families through this process, and we understand the importance of having clear updates and steady communication. Feeling informed shouldn’t be something you have to fight for.
This overview explains how care, monitoring, and communication work throughout the journey, including how intended parents remain informed even from afar.
1) Screening before anyone says “yes”
Before a surrogate can be approved, she must complete the following steps:
Medical history and OB review
Psychological evaluation
Infectious disease testing
Drug and nicotine screening
Home environment and support network verificationCare begins long before pregnancy. We only proceed with candidates who clear every step of the process.
2) Vitamins start early (before transfer)
Clinics provide prenatal vitamins and folic acid, which the surrogate will start taking before the embryo transfer. Early supplementation supports healthy fetal development from the very beginning.
3) Structured prenatal monitoring
During pregnancy, surrogates follow a medical schedule that includes:
Regular OB visits
Ultrasounds to confirm growth and development
Routine blood/urine checks (blood pressure, protein, counts)You receive timely updates and ultrasound results, so you’re informed, not guessing.
4) Unannounced testing for safety and accountability
To protect the baby and your peace of mind:
Drug/nicotine testing happens before program entry
And again randomly during preparation and pregnancy
Surrogates are not informed in advance when these tests are conducted.
5) Emotional and practical support
Surrogates aren’t left to navigate alone. They receive:
Transportation help for medical visits
Regular coordinator check-ins
Guidance on nutrition and lifestyle
A direct path to raise questions or symptoms quickly
6) Your involvement (even from far away)
You can be as involved as you wish:
Receive medical summaries and ultrasound images/videos
Join key appointments by video
Communicate directly through your coordinator
You’re not a spectator; you’re the parent.
Bottom line
With the right team, Mexican surrogacy offers structured medical care, ongoing monitoring, fundamental safeguards, and clear communication throughout the journey.
