Dear Prospective Surrogate Mothers,
You may have already heard the recommendation for “single embryo transfer” during your Mexico surrogacy journey. This is not meant to limit options but to keep both you and the baby safer and healthier. At COSTA HEALTH, we always place the well-being of mother and child first. Many prospective surrogates ask during consultations: Why not simply transfer two? Let us explain the real reasons for single embryo transfer in clear, straightforward terms.
Single Embryo Transfer Makes Pregnancy Smoother
Carrying one baby places less strain on your body. The uterus only needs to support a single fetus, which noticeably lowers the risks of complications such as gestational hypertension, diabetes, and anemia. COSTA HEALTH doctors have observed that mothers carrying single babies tend to maintain better physical condition in the second and third trimesters. They move more comfortably and sleep better. In contrast, twin pregnancies often cause excessive uterine stretching, raising the chance of preterm birth and making you feel more exhausted. A single pregnancy allows the experience to feel more like a typical one.
Baby Development Is Better Protected
With only one baby in the womb, there is more nutrition and space available. Single babies generally have higher average birth weights and more mature organ development. The rates of preterm birth and low birth weight are significantly lower. COSTA HEALTH data shows that newborns from single pregnancies require NICU care far less often than those from twins. This means the baby adapts to the outside world more quickly after birth, and you can enjoy bonding time sooner.
Easier Postpartum Recovery
After delivery, the uterus recovers faster with a single baby. Blood loss is lower, contractions are more effective, and the risks of postpartum infection and depression decrease. COSTA HEALTH's nursing team has seen that many single-pregnancy surrogates return to daily activities within two weeks postpartum, while twin pregnancies often require longer recovery. Single embryo transfer allows you to return to your own life more quickly after completing this meaningful role.
Medical Guidelines and Long-Term Safety
International consensus guidelines in assisted reproduction recommend prioritizing single embryo transfer. The reason is straightforward: multiple pregnancies carry several times higher rates of maternal and infant complications. Although Mexican surrogacy laws are flexible, COSTA HEALTH follows global safety standards and places your long-term health first. Single transfer does not mean fewer chances—through careful embryo selection and freezing technology, cumulative success rates for single cycles remain strong.
In summary, promoting single embryo transfer helps make your pregnancy easier, the baby healthier, and postpartum recovery smoother. In Mexico surrogacy, COSTA HEALTH accompanies every step with safety as the priority.
If you have a kind heart and are willing to spend ten months helping another family fulfill their dream, COSTA HEALTH warmly welcomes you. Becoming a surrogate mother not only brings hope to others but also adds a warm and profound meaning to your own life. We are here, ready to support you as you begin this journey.
