I know that being injured will force the cells to divide more to repair the body. As cell division increased, the ageing process advances. Thus, injury reduces one's lifespan and vitality.

However, does overexertion such as hard labor and pregnancy affect one's youthfulness and lifespan too? Why? Is your body sustain any injury while being pregnant?

I remember reading an artice about a study that said pregnancy increases your lifespan; now that I checked on google it's still there ,
but ofc studies are just assumptions dressed up as science, like a mini skirt in a mosque and calling it prayer

Your cells die and are replaced by new ones even if you do nothing. I wouldn't worry about it. We are all headed to our deaths, one way or another.

Breastfeeding for many years lowers your risk of type II diabetes, cancer, and osteoporosis. Bone density drops in the short run but increases afterwards.

I did get literature from the doctors advising me not to get pregnant again for 18 months to give my body time to repair itself. So one or two pregnancies good, maybe three would be OK, but space them apart.

Coincidentally, I just learned that one of my friends with three kids who had them too close together in my opinion just miscarried a fourth on Tuesday. Her water broke at 16 weeks, there was still a heartbeat, but a fetus can't grow and develop without amniotic fluid, nor can it survive outside the womb, so she needed an abortion for her own safety. Without that option, there would be three kids deprived of a mom.

I haven't heard of what you're saying but I do know that women who've been pregnant multiple times develop frequent vomiting

so basically being pregnant many times is comparable to getting violently drunk
