Description: the-role-of-a-gestational-carrierWhen a woman cannot carry a healthy pregnancy, she can turn to a gestational carrier, a surrogate who carries the fetus created from the egg and sperm of the parents.

“Gestational carrier” is a term used to describe a surrogate who carries a pregnancy created from the egg and sperm of the parents. The eggs (oocytes) of the biological mother are inseminated with sperm of her partner, fertilized, grown to embryos in a Petri dish and then placed into the gestational carrier in a process similar to IVF.

Listen as Hina Ahmed, MS explains how The Reproductive Science Center of NJ will coordinate the care of the biological parents and gestational carrier for a couple wishing to have children.
