No.
Sure, we’ve all been in chats or read stories or blogs about “professional surrogates” who embark on “multiple journeys” with “few complications,” but that is rare. So rare, in fact, that it is more likely this scenario is either surrogate lore or some malarkey involved.
First of all, there is the timing and recovery in-between journeys that needs to be taken into consideration.

The days get shorter, the nights get longer, and there’s a wonderful feeling of warmth and grounded-ness.

Many women, including myself, take this time to explore opportunities in the world of surrogacy.
