Many amazing moms have worked on their BMI and successfully become surrogates!

One of our incredible surrogates was so determined to help a family grow that she lost 40 lbs, and now she’s matched and on her way to making dreams come true! If she can do it, you can too! 💪 ✨

That’s why we created this guide—to help you reach a healthy BMI in a sustainable and enjoyable way! Eating well and making small lifestyle changes can have a big impact on your health, energy, and overall well-being. Maintaining a BMI under 32 is an important requirement for surrogacy because it helps ensure a safer pregnancy, reduces risks like gestational diabetes and high blood pressure, and improves embryo implantation success. A healthy BMI not only supports your well-being but also provides the best possible start for the baby you’ll be carrying. 💕 Your journey to changing lives starts with taking care of yourself first—and we’re here to help you reach your BMI goal!
