by Surrowing nonsense have a greater chance of being diagnosed again during and after pregnancy than women who have their own descendants have found.
In addition, it was found that women with previous mental illnesses have a higher risk of becoming a higher risk during and after pregnancy than being diagnosed without such than those without.
While laws are varying or “pregnancy bearers” worldwide, practice is booming. According to Global Market Insights, the market is expected to grow from USD 27.9 billion (20.8 billion GBP) in 2025 to USD 201.8 billion (£ 150.2 billion) in 2034.
“Our results underline the importance of adequate screening and the advice of potential pregnancy institutions before pregnancy on the possibility of a new mental illness or an exacerbation of a previous mental illness during or after pregnancy,” said Dr. Maria Velez, first author of research, from McGill University in Canada in Canada. “The provision of support during and after pregnancy can also be particularly important for pregnancy bearers.”
Writing in the magazine Jama Network Open, Velez and colleagues report how you analyzed data from 767,406 births in Ontario that took place between April 1, 2012 and March 31, 2021.
Of these, 748,732 were unassisted concepts, 758 surrogacy and the other IVF in mothers who wore their own babies. Velez said the vast majority of surrogacy cases in Canada affected the replacement, which was not related to the child, which means that the eggs of the surrogate mother were not used in conception.
Among the women excluded from this initial analysis with a recording of mental illnesses before the estimated concept date.
The team analyzed the number of women in each group who have diagnosed a new mental illness since the estimated concept date, such as: B. anxiety disorders, mood disorders, self -harm or psychosis.
These diagnoses occurred in 236 surrogates, 195,022 women who had an unassisted concept, and 4,704 women who had received IVF.
After taking into account factors such as age, income, smoking and number of children, this corresponded to a 43% and 29% higher incidence rate of new mental illnesses per 100 people per year after re -examination in the event of a replacement compared to women who had an uninterrupted conception or IVF.
In all three groups, mood or anxiety disorder was the most common diagnosis, while the median time was similar from the conception to diagnosis at about two and a half years.
The researchers found that the risk of a new mental illness in the event of replacement disorders remained increased, but to a lesser extent compared to women who had an unassisted concept, but no longer lived with their child a year after birth.
“The statement could indicate that some pregnancy bearers may experience grief through the abandonment of their newborn, such as those after accepting or removing the child – something that needs further studies,” said Velez.
The team then carried out other analyzes that included women with previous mental illnesses, and found that all groups in this category had a higher rate of newly occurring mental illness than those without prior recording. Although Canada needed potential surrogacy to undergo psychological reviews, the results showed that 19% of the replacement in the study had a documented diagnosis of mental illness before pregnancy.
The study follows earlier examinations of the team, in which it was found that spare instruments are more likely to have complications such as severe postpartum bleeding and severe preeclampsia.
Dr. Zaina Mahmoud, an expert in the socio-legal aspects of surrogacy at the University of Liverpool in England, which was not involved in the work, said that further investigations were necessary to examine whether the greater risk of a new mental illness in the event of substitute diseases until pregnancy and the mechanisms were involved.
“[The researchers are] Do not address why or how surrogate mother have these emotional trajectories, ”she said, adding that the team used very broad definitions of mental illnesses.
But Mahmoud supported the call for a stronger review and support of potential substitutes and said that the work should take more than two years after birth. The studies “underline the need for robust information and consent,” she said.
