What if there is a miscarriage?
The short answer
Early pregnancy loss occurs in roughly 10 to 20 percent of recognized pregnancies [cite ACOG]. The contract sets a loss fee for the surrogate, covers her medical costs and recovery, and PLS provides counseling to both parties. Base compensation already paid is not returned; unpaid installments stop. Rematch or re-transfer follows medical clearance.
