When does chronic illness in women begin?

A friend recently emailed me a great theory: due to sleep deprivation, hormonal changes and physical hardship, chronic disease in women begins after giving birth to her first child.

It makes total sense! Your body goes through some immense changes while pregnant and immediately afterward so the chemical changes in your body could easily trigger gene “malformations” that would make you more susceptible to illnesses that you had never thought about before.

Unfortunately I can’t find ANY research on this topic and now that I’m interested, I may have something more to think about while graduate school looms, and my chronic illness begins.
