A comprehensive study involving around 44 million physiological measurements from over 300,000 births has unveiled the extensive biological changes women experience during and after pregnancy. Conducted using anonymized data from Israel's largest healthcare provider, the findings highlight the underestimated postnatal recovery period and suggest potential pre-conception identification of risks for complications such as pre-eclampsia and gestational diabetes. This research adds substantial evidence against societal expectations of quick recovery post-childbirth, demonstrating the lasting impact of pregnancy on women's bodies.
The study suggests that the postnatal period in the body is much longer than people tend to assume, which is biological proof that women don't bounce back quickly after childbirth.
The research reveals the toll that carrying a baby and childbirth take on the body, shedding light on the myriad physiological changes that occur before and after pregnancy.
Researchers used anonymized data from Israel's largest health-care provider, finding that it might be possible to identify women at risk of complications like pre-eclampsia before conception.
This groundbreaking study, pooling 44 million physiological measurements from 300,000 births, builds one of the most detailed pictures of changes women's bodies undergo during pregnancy.
