Nietzsche said in The Genealogy Of Morals, published in 1887, "it's clear that tortured states of minds are a disease, we have no doubt about it, but it's a disease like a pregnancy is a disease". What did he mean with this exactly?

He is saying that even whilst the tortured state of mind is stressful... from it new ideas can be born.

Here pregnancy is used, because whilst it is a burden from going through the burden a new thing is born.

So with the stress and burden comes potential. So it is not strictly speaking negative to be burdened or face disease/suffering.
