"geriatric" pregnancy- worse symptoms?

Question

I'm 38 this year and 8 weeks pregnant with baby #5 - this one is a doozy! Growing pains and fatigue worse than I remember but nausea not too terrible compared to previous. As I get older it seems pregnancy takes a larger toll on my body. Any other geriatric pregnancies out there and how do your symptoms compare to previous pregnancies?? Please share your story.

Answer

You’re so lucky to have another child, congrats

Answer

I had my last babe at 41. The pregnancy was a breeze, much easier than my first at 22 years old. I barely gained any extra weight, was perfect healthy, and I worked a very physical job right up to the date before I was induced. The labor on the other hand, was traumatizing. I think because they take more precautions with a “geriatric pregnancy”. They had me hooked up to every monitoring device possible. I honestly felt like some villain’s science experiment with wires and tubes stuck in every part of me. 36 hours of torture before I got to meet my beautiful baby boy
