pregnancy after 35

[sarah35mason]

is it harder to be pregnant being older

[bkiddo35]

As my doc says, each body is a different one. I am 36 yo, 36 weeks, first baby. Got pregnant after 15 days without taking the pill. Super healthy, both baby and I. I surely feel uncomfortable now but I guess its normal at this stage. So, guess youll only know once youve been there. : )

This is my 3rd pregnancy im 35 my first I had her at 18 then the twins at 29 and no symptom at all but now I have spot, morning sickness, pain all over is horrible never the same is more hard.

Had my first three at 19, 21, & 23. The next set at 33, 34, and now #6 at 38. I'm only 14 weeks along but I anticipate it being harder. More aches, pains.....is that from the three teenagers or pregnancy? Not sure :)

I'm 35 and pregnant with my first. I've felt overall good, just very tired in the beginning.  I've been kind of blah lately but other than that it hasn't been too bad.  I just wants a nap almost daily. I'm currently 17 weeks,  I hope I keep feeling good to the end. It's all worth it no matter how I feel :)

I had my first at 35 and am now pregnant at 37 for my last.  I remember friends being pregnant at an early age and they were bouncing around like nothing!  I feel like death when I'm pregnant.   No energy and my body hurts all the time.  The heart burn is a b*&ch.  When you bend over to shave your legs and pure acid comes out of your mouth.....
Uggg

I started having babies at 34. I have five kids and had my last at 39.  I didn't find it hard.

This is my fifth child.overall the pregnancy is ok.the only thing is that docs wana do more testing and stuff due to"advanced maternal age".lol.(I dislike this classification!!!).but compared to my other pregnancies I am doing well.I am almost 36 wks and still wk about 40 hrs a week.

I'm 35 and this is my first pregnancy.

I had trouble getting pregnant due to diminished ovarian reserve, but my pregnancy has been relatively easy.  No morning sickness, no extreme symptoms of any kind.  My blood pressure and glucose testing all went very well the whole time.  I'm 38w + 2 days and still working and getting around ok, though I tire easily at this point.

It will surely be different for everyone.  Is there anything in particular about which you are worried?

Definitely harder. My oldest turns 21 in August (I was 19), then my 3 year old (I was 37).. that was harder but other than heartburn not too bad.. now at 40 it's a bigger difference having more pregnancy symptoms then ever and just over all harder to carry but with my 3 year old I am a much more patient Mom than at 19.

Im 38 and im 36 weeks pregnant, I have a 19 year old daughter and a 15 year old son so I was 19 when I had my girl and 23 when I had my son... I use to be such a happy pregnant person. .. no pains, no depression,  always up and walking and feeling great!  Now at 38, I am so excited, but miserable... I have had every side effect there is to pregnancy, I hurt everywhere,  I have heart burn like crazy, I have been vomiting every day from the beginning,  I have been put on high risk because i have placenta previa, I have head aches,  body aches, i also developed PUPPPS and that alone has just been miserable... but, at the end of the day, it is all worth it knowing that im almost done and in a couple of weeks I will be holding my baby girl :)

There are more risks involved for mom and baby
