Shocker: It takes far more energy to grow life than scientists once believed.

A Duke University study found that pregnancy rivals elite endurance events, making it the most energetically demanding activity the human body can sustain, equivalent to running a 40-week marathon.

Another peer-reviewed study published in Science found that pregnancy requires an additional 50,000 calories over nine months, with 96% of that energy coming directly from the mother. A woman’s resting energy use can rise by up to 30%, meaning her body works harder every single day, even at rest.

To put it in perspective, that’s like eating 50 pints of Ben & Jerry’s or sustaining the daily energy output of a Tour de France cyclist.

The energy it takes to grow life makes pregnancy one of the most extreme athletic feats on Earth. 🫶

I specialize in low milk supply and work for Atlanta Lactation doing home lactation visits in Cherokee County. Please reach out if you need support! We take most insurances.

Struggling with milk supply? You’re not alone!

Boosting supply isn’t about waiting until you feel “full” or chasing quick fixes, it’s about frequent feeding/pumping, effective milk removal, and finding the right support.

Remember: Every feeding journey is unique, and small changes can make a big difference. If you need help, our IBCLCs are here for you!

Text: 404-793-3300 to connect with us and we'll get you the support you need.
