Advantages Of Gestational Surrogacy!

IVF procedure is often used for surrogacy. Surrogacy is a process where a healthy woman’s womb is used for the proper development of the fetus from the time of fertilization till the time of birth. Surrogacy is divided into two parts, namely, traditional surrogacy and gestational surrogacy.

Traditional surrogacy is the process where the sperm of the father is introduced into the egg of the surrogate mother for the pregnancy. In such a case, the surrogate mother is also the biological mother of the resulting child. Gestational surrogacy is a process where a fertilized egg is introduced inside the surrogate mother. In such a surrogacy, the surrogate mother’s genes are not passed onto the child.

Gestational surrogacy is quite beneficial for the surrogate mother and can be the ideal choice for many. Here are a few of the advantages of gestational surrogacy.

1. Reduction of risk of breast cancer and ovarian cancer: Most people do not know that being a gestational surrogate mother can reduce your risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer. This is because during the pregnancy, the body’s hormone levels spike quite substantially. These hormones also protect your body against cancer. Research has revealed that gestational surrogacy is the most effective against breast and ovarian cancer and may even help to reduce chances of other cancers.
2. Improves heart muscles: A gestational surrogate mother has a lot of other benefits as well. One such benefit is the improvement of the cardiac muscles. The real reason for this change is not known, but researchers feel that any hormonal change during the pregnancy can be a cause. The improved functioning of the heart can be quite effective during a second pregnancy for the same mother.
3. No healthcare costs: The intended parents of the surrogate child are liable to pay all the healthcare bills of the surrogate mother throughout the duration of the pregnancy. This means that the gestational surrogate mother does not have to worry about spending money in a bid to treat any adverse side effect of the pregnancy. Since the child will go to the intended parents after birth, they are liable to pay for all the medical costs.

However, no surrogate mother chooses surrogacy in order to receive these benefits. Instead, they opt for the procedure in a bid to do some good for the society and let the intended parents feel the joy of having children.
