Easier periods
Good news for women with bad cramps: Having babies may bring you some relief in the long run. Many women find that their menstrual cramps are much less painful — or even nonexistent — after the birth of their first baby.
Doctors aren’t sure why, but women who have vaginal births report more relief than those who have
C-sections, a factor that points to the stretching of the uterus during delivery as a possible mechanism for this pregnancy perk. If your cramps are severe and don’t get any better after your baby’s birth (or if you're concerned about any change in your period), talk to your doctor, who may want to test you for an underlying problem like
pelvic inflammatory disease or
endometriosis.
Lower risk of breast cancer
The health benefits of pregnancy extend to
breastfeeding too, since studies show both can lower a woman’s risk of breast cancer. There are two reasons why: First, more pregnancies mean fewer periods, which in turn limit your exposure to estrogen and progesterone. These hormones, which are produced by your ovaries, stimulate cell growth and can increase a woman’s risk of breast cancer.
Second, the changes that breast cells undergo during pregnancy and breastfeeding may make them more resistant to transforming into cancer cells. Pregnancy’s protective benefit diminishes by the time you hit 30, which is why older moms are urged to breastfeed for as long as possible so they can take advantage of the breast-cancer protection nursing provides.
Lower risk of other cancers
Lowering your breast cancer risk isn’t the only cancer-fighting benefit to having kids. The hormonal shifts that occur during pregnancy and breastfeeding also protect against ovarian and endometrial cancer, and the more full-term pregnancies you have, the greater the benefit. Scientists are investigating how carrying a baby can reduce a woman’s risk of other cancers too.
But don’t feel as if you need to have lots of babies to maximize your health benefits. The best ways to lower your risk of cancer remain the same:
Don’t smoke and avoid secondhand smoke, exercise regularly,
eat a healthy diet (including plenty of veggies) and keep drinking to a minimum.
