How Surrogacy Can Physically Benefit You

Everyone is painfully aware of the strains that pregnancy can place on the
body. From the emotional toll to the physical weight gain and general aches and
pains pregnancy can be well, a pain! However, there are also a great deal of physical
health benefits to pregnancy. If you are considering becoming a surrogate in
California you will want to take into account all of the physical benefits to your own
body. See below for some of main benefits.
1. Longer Life: During pregnancy a unique phenomenon exists called
microchimerism. During this process a there is a brief exchange of a small
number of cells via the placenta and some of the fetal cells remain in the
pregnant surrogate. It has been proven that the presence of a “y”
chromosome in the surrogate’s body is associated with a lower level of
mortality.
2. Reduced Breast Cancer: The greatest cause of breast cancer is continued
and prolonged exposure to endogenous hormones, which are hormones
produced by the ovaries. Since pregnancy reduces the number of menstrual
cycles a woman experiences it therefore decreases the woman’s exposure to
endogenous hormones.
3. Less Painful Periods: Many women who have grown up with painful
periods most of their life find that they no longer have this issue post
pregnancy!
4. Overall Improved Health: Pregnancy forces and encourages women to
improve their overall well-being. Sometimes this can encourage solutions to
issues that have been lingering for years because it no longer involves “just
them.” This can lead to a greater overall sense of wellness!
