Why is a pregnancy significantly more straining for the body than healing a wound?
In: 0
For most wounds the body isn’t growing a significant amount of tissue. A lbs of tissue would be a massive wound. Usually it’s just reconnecting a cut or broken bone.
The average newborn is ~7-8 lbs. From a single cell. In about 9 months. That’s not counting the placenta and other support tissues.
Pregnancy requires a significant amount of resources to grow a baby and prepare the mother for nursing.
