Can having children or too many children effect your health and body in later life? IE weak virginal walls?

Question

I'm sure having to many virginal births can cause major health problems for women in the long run but you don't feel the effects until you get older around 60yrs it can cause weak bladder (incontinence) arthritis etc.......
Women should think about this

I know women have been giving birth since the beginning of time but that doesnt mean it didn't effect our ancestors health no one talked about childbirth those days but plenty of women died from it.
Im not saying it can kill you but in some countries men disown their wives after childbirth because they may suffer from incontinance and other birth related problems.

Answer 1

Most definitely, weak walls, prolapsed internal organs and sagging boobs, if the children were breast fed. All those symptoms are a small price to pay for a big family.
I guess you mean natural childbirth (through the vaginal canal?)

Answer 2

God knows why you think giving birth gives you arthritis. Also, you can get bladder incontinence from having just one normal birth, although you can have corrective surgery. Anyway, I'm pleased that I had a vaginal (not virginal) birth for my second baby, after a nightmare emergency section with my first. I think it's horrible that people have elective caesarians unless it's a medical necessity. Imagine the state of Victoria Beckham after having 3 or possibly more-surely that's just as bad for you in the long run. I love my children, whichever way they are born, and all mothers would say the same, never mind what happens to your bladder 30 years down the line. personally, I have other things to worry about, but thanks for caring :)

Answer 3

Yes...but the effects can be both positive and negative. Having children very close in age or having more than three can actually shorten some women's life expectancy by a couple of years. That being said, it's possible that having children can protect against some cancers expecially if you opt to nurse.

Answer 4

I have had 3 virginal births. i am now 67yrs and have not suffered from any ill effects. the women who died in child birth years ago died mostly as a result of complications which now we can treat and also many from post natal infections before antibiotics. Despite complications from my first birth, my children are healthy and were all breast fed. I had all three within four years.

Answer 5

None of that means anything if you want children. Having children is priceless. I m not going to say that I dont want children because Im going to have incontinence or horrible hemmroids one day. Those things can also be taken care of medically if needed. Women are meant to have babies vaginally. That is how God created us.

Answer 6

A weak bladder would be a problem.

Carrying the extra weight must have an effect too.

Answer 7

i dont think it effects your over all health but it does affect your muscles down there you have to do kegals to keep it strong and you dont have to be 60 to get weak bladder i have 4 kids and im only 35 and i have some of those problems. not to mention u lose your sanity with all those kids i love mine to pieces but i also color my hair so you dont see the greys i have a couple for each kid lol

Answer 8

No my gran had 12 kids and lived a healthy life till she was 98,but people dont realize the damage anal sex can do to you in later life.That can cause many probs as you highlighted.

Answer 9

As I understand it the more virgins you stuff into the cavities between your walls, the stronger they will be - although not as strong as if you used cement.

Fewer virgins means less structural support. That's a no brainer.

Answer 10

my god, these people are making history and we didn't even know it. Virginal births? That hasn't happened since Mary gave birth to Jesus - it must be the second coming. Contact the Church asap.
