And the cost to a woman’s body, during and after pregnancy, including risks?
I know a pregnant woman has been nauseous for 6 months, is on prescription medication for it, and now can barely walk due to symphysis pubic dysfunction. Completely healthy prior to becoming pregnant in terms of BMI/blood sugar/pressure/physical activity/etc
I know many who have had to get a C section, or bed rest, or the kid has issues like allergies, club foot, autism, etc.
- lmm 2y ago> And the cost to a woman’s body, during and after pregnancy, including risks? Is very real, but significantly lower for later pregnancies, and was generally not something that put people off in more prosperous times, even when medical care was less advanced.
- lotsofpulp 2y agoWomen only gained rights recently, how could one know that? There is a 100% correlation with total fertility rates dropping and women’s independence.
- tokioyoyo 2y agoI think you’re not factoring in the other choice - not having kids and not having those problems, lower or later in life. Hanging around with educated women in their 20s/30s, and that’s a very real concern.
