… are you under the impression child birth doesn't have long term consequences on a person's body and health?

  Generally speaking, for the vast majority of mothers, childbirth does not have long term negative physical consequences. It can, and I have experienced one of those, however it is the exception, and not the rule.

    Your definition of "negative" must be fairly specific.

    Source? Generally speaking, for the vast majority of HN commenters, authoritative statements on the consequences of childbirth for mothers should be taken with a grain of salt .. given as much credence as you would a third-party anecdote from someone who's closest connection to the source material is a daughter, partner, sister or their own mother. You may be the exception here, but going by the numbers I would expect not.
