National-level assessment of gestational carrier pregnancies in the United States
The results of the current nationwide assessment suggest that GC pregnancies are rare but gradually increasing in the United States. This study shows that GC pregnancies have usually favorable pre-pregnancy patient characteristics compared to non-GC pregnancies, with mixed obstetric outcomes including increased odds of preterm delivery, placental abnormalities, and postpartum hemorrhage and decreased odds of cesarean delivery in singleton pregnancies.
