Experts have recently revealed that giving birth to a baby boy increases the risk of providing more stress on the mom's body and is more likely seen to trigger series of long-term health risks for the mom. In the studies conducted, findings have shown that baby girls, on the other hand, have the ability to react better to stress of living in their mom's womb which gives them an advantage especially in the latter part of life.
According to The Sun, it was found that all developing babies inside the mother's womb have the abilities to produce chemical reactions which are basically unfamiliar with the body of a pregnant mother. These chemical reactions are then said to lead to an inflammation and tissue damage in the body's cells moments after the labor process.
However, researchers have recently found a probable cause to male babies causing twice as many of these substances, known as free radicals than a female offspring does. Researchers also claim that having a son in other words, increases the mother's risk of developing greater long-term health risks such as heart disease and as well as Alzheimer's disease which have all been associated with oxidative stress.
As reported by Daily Mail, study co-author Javier DiazCastro, from the University of Granada in Spain, claims that although the pain will be of no difference when giving birth, males are naturally known as the "chemically aggressive" ones, and thus creating more damage to the mother's body on a cellular level. Hence, Dr. Diaz-Castro believes that having a female offspring is most likely to produce a lesser level of inflammation when it comes to the response in the mother's body.
Furthermore, Dr. Diaz-Castro claims that the mother's immune system would be affected by the gender of the child. The study was also believed to have opened the way for a new and exciting field of research that focuses more on the newborn's gender seen as a risk factor for a number of functional alterations. These alterations are in turn, allegedly creating the impact when it comes to the development of the total component of a person's body in the future.
