If you’re considering your options for surrogacy in California now, there’s a good chance you could have a baby by about the same time next year. Can you picture that? If so, and it feels right to you, that may be reason enough to start your surrogacy journey this spring. However, here are five more impactful reasons to start the process now rather than later.
1) Everything Comes to Life in the Spring
Spring is when everything is in bloom, the weather is gorgeous, and everyone is enjoying outdoor activities. Not only does this tend to boost moods, but it also provides a beautiful backdrop for stroller excursions.
2) Your Surrogate Gets to “Skip” the Summer Months
Being pregnant is a blessing, but it’s not without its challenges. The summer months can be particularly grueling, sticky, and dry, which makes it a little harder to enjoy one’s growing bump. If you start the process now, your surrogate will likely get to avoid being super pregnant during the hot months, making the experience a little easier on her.
3) School May Be Easier for Your Child
Children born in the fall can be at a disadvantage when it comes to school. If they barely make it into a start date based on their age, they’ll be the youngest in their class, which can make it more challenging for them to meet certain milestones and be active learners. Some parents try to circumvent this by holding their kids back a year, though that makes their child one of the oldest in the class, which could spell out boredom and disinterest. Children who are born in the spring and summer have the advantage here, as they tend to be right in the middle for classroom birthdays.
4) Spring Babies are More Optimistic
Researchers have noticed certain trends based on birth months. As it turns out, spring babies are more optimistic and tend to have better mental health. They can also be more creative than kids born at other times of the year, and some even link spring births with higher intelligence. It’s no surprise then, that babies born in the spring become CEOs later in life slightly more often than their counterparts.
5) You’re Ready to Be a Parent
The reality is, if you’re ready to be a parent, it doesn’t matter what time of year it is. There are impactful reasons to begin the journey at any point of the year.
