Anyone's pregnancy after 35 much harder than before when "you were young"? (My prior pregnancies were basically symptom free, but at 36, I feel crummy all evening.)

Question

Answer

I had kids at 32, 34, 36 and 38. I think for me it's more a matter of having to keep up with other little ones while being pregnant than the age. I was put on strict bedrest the last month my last pregnancy and it made me realize all of the little things I do for my kids really adds up and adds to my exhaustion.

Answer

Mine at 20, 32, and now 37. Love my children, despise each horrible pregnancy. Felt like garbage for each one. My sister is due 2days prior to me and she’s 39 and loving it. Go figure! Happy for those with lovely pregnancies. Can’t help but be a bit envious though.

Answer

43.  Extremely excited and ecstatic about meeting my little man. But oh boy is it more tiring.  I can’t do anything without getting exhausted like I’ve run a marathon. 32 weeks and just found out I have GD.  So starting weekly visits and NST.

Answer

Yes.  I had my son at 20, I didn't know I was pregnant for six months.  Now that i'm 35, I'll be 36 when this new human arrives. I'm exhausted and my boobs hurt.  I don't like food or water.  I guess we're now more in tune with our bodies.

Answer

Answer

I can’t really answer your question only that I know it’s harder KEEPING a baby after 35... 3rd Mc in a row right now, but thanks for posting this because all of the comments have gotten me hopeful again!!

Answer

I’m 36 and this is my first pregnancy. I’m also having natural di/di twins. So I kinda feel lucky that I don’t know any different for age or 1 vs 2.

Answer

I think I’m just more tired this time.  My last pregnancy was 9 years ago when I was 30.  I’m 17w3d now and still waiting for the second trimester energy.  We are also a pretty busy family now so that may also play into my tiredness.
