Specifically wondering why surrogate’s body doesn’t attack the zygote/fetus as if it’s a foreign body.
Of course as I’ve typed this out I’m wondering if it’s the same reason babies aren’t attacked in the womb in any other situation, the placenta?

I asked a lot of questions about the science behind it, I’m a surrogate and a curious person. My doctor said that my DNA and the baby’s DNA never interact. I was told that the placenta filters everything (fun fact, the placenta is made almost entirely with the male’s DNA) I got very simplified answers so I’m sure that there’s more too it but it’s crazy when you think about the science behind it all.
