Research by Yale School of Medicine, published in Cell Metabolism in 2024, supports this notion. The study found that women’s biological age increases by approximately two years throughout pregnancy, lasting around 20 weeks. This suggests that pregnancy may indeed accelerate aging.
However, the study offers a surprising twist. Three months post-delivery, the women’s biological age decreased significantly, with some individuals showws a decline as much as 8 years. This recovery was particularly pronounced in mothers with a lower Body Mass Index (BMI) before pregnancy, while breastfeeding also contributed to a steeper decrease in biological age.
"At three months postpartum, we saw a very large decrease in biological age for some individuals, suggesting a clear and noticeable recovery after childbirth," said Kieran O’Donnell, PhD, assistant professor at Yale Child Study Center.
The lead author of the study, Hung Pham, a biostatistician, also found that mothers’ pre-pregnancy BMI affects the magnitude of this recovery. Those with a negative BMI estimate had a higher biological age post-delivery, while breastfeeding contributed to a steeper decline in biological age from pregnancy until three months postpartum.
"There’s a lot more to explore here. First, we don’t know if the postpartum recovery effects are relevant for short- or long-term health outcomes, and if these effects accumulate with each subsequent pregnancy," O’Donnell explained.
"Similarly, we don’t know if the postpartum decrease in biological age is simply a return to the age before pregnancy or if pregnancy has a rejuvenating effect," he added.
Further, the study found that pregnancy increases a mother’s biological age by one to two years, but this aging effect decreased by 16% three months after childbirth.
This study is not the first to explore the link between pregnancy and aging. A 2018 study in Scientific Reports found that telomeres—the caps at the ends of our chromosomes that protect our DNA—appear older in previously pregnant and parenting women. With each pregnancy and birth, a woman’s telomeres shorten by about 4 months to 4 years compared to those who haven’t been pregnant or had children. Shorter telomeres are linked to an increased risk of various diseases.
In a 2024 study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers found that women who had given birth showed more biological signs of aging than those who had not. The more children a woman had, the faster she biologically aged.
However, these studies have limitations and offer more questions than answers. More research is needed to determine the extent and implications of the recovery effect, as well as the long-term health consequences of the aging process accelerated by pregnancy.
As always, every woman’s experience is unique. While pregnancy may affect biological aging, it’s essential to remember the numerous joyful and enriching aspects it brings to life.
