Scientists from McGill University in Canada found that surrogates have an increased risk of postpartum sepsis and bleeding, as well as dangerous high blood pressure during pregnancy. Research results It was published In the journal Annals of Internal Medicine.
Scientists analyzed data on 863,017 singleton births; of these, 806 were gestational carriers; these were surrogate mothers who carried children for the intended parents. It turned out that the probability of developing serious maternal diseases in such women was 7.8%. The same risk was reduced threefold and twofold in those who conceived on their own or through in vitro fertilization (IVF), respectively.
The researchers explained that surrogate mothers most commonly encountered severe postpartum hemorrhage, preeclampsia (a dangerous increase in blood pressure) and sepsis (blood infection). It was also revealed that babies born to surrogate mothers had a slightly higher risk of developing serious embryo-fetal and neonatal infections associated with premature birth.
