When it comes to future health issues related to surrogacy, these concerns are typically addressed prior to the surrogacy agreement and during the intense medical and psychological screening process. Everyone involved, including the surrogate mother, the intended parents, and the medical professionals, collaborate to mitigate any potential health risks.

Before embarking on the surrogacy journey, comprehensive pre-screening tests, medical evaluations, and psychological counselling sessions are held for the surrogate mother. These extensive procedures ensure she is in good health, both physically and mentally, capable to endure pregnancy, and aware of the possible risks and complications. It is at this point that any potential health issues or risks for the future, including gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, or postpartum depression, are identified and discussed.

Furthermore, possible risks to the baby, such as prematurity or birth defects, and the measures to minimize them are thoroughly discussed and planned for. The intended parents and the surrogate jointly plan the prenatal and postnatal care to secure the wellbeing of both the surrogate and the baby. Surrogacy agreements also typically include provisions for health coverage for the surrogate during the pregnancy and a certain period following childbirth, to handle any resulting health issues.
