Social media is on fire with decision Ana Obregon have a daughter surrogacy. Actress, Mrs. 68 years old, left the Miami hospital in a wheelchair with a baby in her arms. Little is known. As usual in such cases, data on the pregnant mother are not available. However, it is worth asking your situation. Perhaps everything went well, but we must not forget that in addition to logical ethical problems, surrogacy risk for a woman who is about to become pregnant.
Both from this and ethical point of view, surrogacy in Spain is not legal. That’s why Ana Obregon moved to USAwhere the rules are much weaker. But let’s leave aside the ethical issues, which are clear and much discussed now. Let’s focus on health.
Both the pregnant woman and the baby can experience a number of risks this should not be ruled out. There is a logic of pregnancy that never without complications. But, according to some studies, there may be more.
Consequences of surrogate motherhood
Surrogate motherhood can involve from two to three people. On the one hand, we have pregnant mother. On the other hand, to couple or one personas in the case of Ana Obregon.
When it comes to heterosexual couple without problems in their germ cells, everyone gives up their own. He is the sperm and she is the egg. If one of them has problems in this regard, a donor is used. Just like when it comes to homosexual couple or single person. In the case of Ana Obregon, given her advanced age, it is logical that she also resorted to donor eggs, since her ovarian reserve It must have already shrunk and deteriorated. In fact, this is why some women who expect to become mothers at a later age, freeze eggs when they are younger.
With the help of these gametes (sex cells) in vitro fertilization (ECO). In other words, under controlled laboratory conditions, eggs and sperm come into contact to effect fertilization. If spermatozoa have problems with motility, you can resort to intracytoplasmic injection or ICSIbut in these cases it is usually not required.
After the embryo has begun to form, it is implanted in a surrogate mother. So she puts uterus where the baby will develop over the course of nine months. And it’s also the one that’s exposed pregnancy risks.
They must have been mothers before
Precisely because it is important to know how a pregnant woman will react to pregnancy, in many countries there is a rule that this should have had a baby before natural form. This way you can find out if you are facing any typical risks. If not, you are eligible for surrogacy.
And it is on this norm that a study published in 2017 in the journal Fertility and infertility. In it for the first time differences between the results of pregnancy of pregnant women, when it was natural and when it took place as a result of surrogate motherhood. Thus, some adverse perinatal outcomes were found to have increased, such as preterm birth, low birth weight, hypertension, maternal gestational diabetes, and preeclampsia.
One might wonder why this is so. It’s due to fertilization in vitro Or through surrogacy? This is something that is unclear and requires more in-depth study. On the one hand, it is true that there have been some studies that conclude that a small proportion of women who become pregnant through IVF, may face these risks.. However, it is not clear whether this is due to the methods used or simply because it is usually the people who previous reproductive problems.
In the case of women who are amenable to surrogacy, they do not have reproductive problems. In fact, they already have children and are doing well. This may be random, not everyone is the same with all pregnancies. However, we cannot exclude psychological factor. It has been more than proven that stress can trigger many problems during pregnancy and childbirth.
Women who offer themselves as surrogate mothers usually do not do so out of pure altruism. they need money. it’s already stressful as such. But, in addition, knowing that they will have to be separated from the baby when he is born, no matter how much they give their consent, it is also possible cause of stress. All this could complicate both pregnancy and childbirth.
Ana Obregon’s age problem
Ana Obregon is 68 years old. When your daughter turns 12, she will be 80. This is the age when children need taking care of your parents, but she will be so old that she may need care. All this can affect the girl psychologically. Like the fact of losing a mother at a young age, if that were the case.
At the same time, in Spain, the maximum age at which assisted reproductive technologies are allowed is 50 years. in some clinics maybe even less.
Unfortunately, everything in surrogacy is driven by money. He was able to pay for it, and his age was not taken into account. No one thought about how everything will affect this child in a few years. And this is a big mistake. Because not everything needs to be bought with money. Much fewer people.
