First, once IPs have selected a surrogate and the paperwork is signed, IPs should have complete faith in their surrogate. Getting to this point is hard and it wouldn’t have happened if the surrogate was not invested.

Second, IPs should resist the urge to control. Doing a surrogacy journey means not having control. Trying to exert control, no matter how delicately IPs think they are doing it, almost always backfires.

Finally, most pregnancies fail due to chromosomal abnormalities.

It is hardly ever caused by eating the wrong thing, having a glass of wine here or there, or working out, etc.

Never forget that your surrogate is your angel on earth. No matter what happens between you two.
