A surrogate mother in pregnancy is a woman that has agreed to carry and deliver the child before they are first born. That is usually the end of the contact that the surrogate has with the child unless the people involved have a prior agreement.

How much do surrogate mothers earn for their services?

Many surrogate mothers provide their "services" as a gift for a friend or family member who is unable to conceive or carry a pregnancy to term. There is really no price for providing such a priceless gift to someone who wishes to have a child of their own so badly but are unable to do so. However, there are some surrogate mothers who will take advantage of the situation and use and abuse the biological parents. It's kind of like hanging a dream right over someone's head and holding it ransom until the person gets what they want before giving the dreamer what they desire so much. Usually, though, the etiquette is that the biological parents will provide the surrogate mother with any necessities the surrogate needs in relation to the pregnancy. Such things may include, but not limited to: providing transportation to and from doctor's appointments; covering the costs of doctor visits, medications (if any), procedures (if any), hospital stay, and delivery fees (emergency and nonemergency) if medical insurance is not available by the surrogate; providing maternal clothing for the surrogate; if the surrogate was working before but quit to do the surrogacy, the biological parents will cover life necessities such as food, a place to sleep (if the home is lost), help with bill payments, and so on. Also, the biological parents will try to include the surrogate in family activities, or take her out to places as a chance to bond, and also include the surrogate in post-partum activities with the family and child. None of these are required by the surrogate usually, but it is etiquette to care for the surrogate mother in regards to the pregnancy as the biological mother would have been cared for by the family in regards to the pregnancy.

Can surrgate mothers produce milk?

A surrogate mother will naturally produce breast milk. Since she is the one who is pregnant her breasts will begin to produce milk as the pregnancy proceeds. Usually what makes a surrogate pregnancy different than an adoptive pregnancy is that the surrogate mother has had a fertilized egg implanted that is not hers. If the woman who has provided the egg wishes to nurse her child, she will have to induce lactation in her own breasts prior to the birth. Many mothers who use the process of surrogacy pregnancy to have a child do this. By inducing lactation and then nursing their baby the many positive benefits of breastfeeding are given to the baby. What is especially positive is that there is a greater bonding between mother and child that occurs only with breastfeeding.

How does surrogate motherhood work?

Surrogate motherhood involves a woman carrying a pregnancy and giving birth to a child for another person or couple. There are two main types: traditional surrogacy (where the surrogate's egg is used) and gestational surrogacy (where the surrogate carries a child conceived using the intended parent's egg or a donor egg). Legal agreements are typically put in place to outline rights and responsibilities of all parties involved.
