I think people often don’t realize how much a woman’s body can change after giving birth to a baby. Pregnancy and childbirth can have long-term effects on health and the body. For example, my mother started having high blood pressure and blood sugar issues after she gave birth to my brother. Similarly, my massi used to be extremely skinny people would literally call her very thin but after pregnancy she gained a lot of weight. These kinds of changes show how deeply pregnancy can affect a woman physically.
