Article Synopsis
- Surrogacy in Nigeria allows couples facing infertility to have children through a surrogate who carries the pregnancy, gaining popularity compared to adoption.
- There are two types of surrogacy: gestational, where embryos are created via IVF, and traditional, using the surrogate's own egg; however, it presents challenges including medical, ethical, and legal issues impacting the newborns.
- The case report of preterm triplets emphasizes the necessity for better regulation in surrogacy practices, as challenges included feeding issues, lack of appropriate care, and obtaining necessary legal consents for the infants.
