Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated trends and outcomes of gestational carrier (GC) pregnancies in the U.S. using data from over 14 million deliveries between 2017 and 2020, finding that the prevalence of GC pregnancies rose by 55% during this period.
- - Among GCs, there was a higher likelihood of complications such as multiple pregnancies, placental abruption, and low-lying placenta, along with increased risks for late-preterm deliveries and postpartum hemorrhage in singleton births compared to non-GCs.
- - While GC pregnancies are relatively rare, the findings indicate they are becoming more common and generally have favorable pre-pregnancy characteristics, but their obstetric outcomes can be mixed, especially regarding certain complications. *
