Surrogacy in Guwahati: What You Should Know About Surrogate Decisions and Care

Family planning can be a deeply meaningful and hopeful journey for couples and individuals facing fertility challenges. Over the years, assisted reproductive technologies have evolved to support people who cannot conceive naturally. One such path is surrogacy — a process where another woman carries and delivers a child for individuals or couples who are unable to do so themselves. In Guwahati and across Assam, access to professional reproductive care and surrogacy services has become more established, offering individuals reliable options for growing their families. In this in-depth guide, we explore surrogacy in Guwahati, the types of surrogacy recognised in India, legal and ethical frameworks, medical procedures involved, and tips on how to make informed decisions on your fertility journey. Understanding Surrogacy and Its Meaning Surrogacy refers to a reproductive arrangement in which a woman carries and delivers a child on behalf of another individual or couple. The woman who carries the pregnancy is known as the surrogate in Guwahati or elsewhere, and the process allows people who cannot conceive naturally — due to medical, physical, or reproductive reasons — to become parents. In modern medical practice, there are primarily two categories of surrogacy: Traditional Surrogacy — where the surrogate mother’s egg is used, making her genetically related to the baby. Traditional surrogacy is less commonly practiced globally and is not generally accepted in India due to legal and ethical considerations. Gestational Surrogacy — in which an embryo created through in-vitro fertilization (IVF) from the intended parents’ sperm and egg (or donor gametes) is transferred to the surrogate. The surrogate has no genetic connection to the child. Modern surrogacy therefore typically involves IVF techniques and thorough medical coordination between fertility specialists, reproductive endocrinologists, and obstetric care teams.
