Is this pregnancy seem harder now

[simplylizzy23]

I had my son 13 years ago and I was sick but it seemed easier. Now I am over 30 and this one is kicking my butt. Is anyone else seem like it is harder now ? Does age play that big of a role. My husband is supportive but not sure if he thought it was going to be like this. I am 27+4 weeks and still throw up a few times a day. I have no energy. I can't sleep because baby is on my sciatica. Am I alone?

I had my first and second babies 8 years apart. The first was a breeze. I was 19... the second was a nightmare! I was 27 then. I couldn't believe how terrible of a pregnancy experience I had with my second. Now, I'm pregnant with my third at 29. I got pregnant when my second was around 16 months, and this pregnancy had been quite easy. It's so weird! Maybe it's because my body is still used to being pregnant.. idk.. But I'm sure glad it's better this time around, lol

Thank you all. I am glad I am not alone. I do exercise regularly and eat fruit and high fiber cereal. I am having my baby boy at 36 weeks by c section because I have medical problems. It feels like the end of May will never get here.

Im 26 having my third. Yeah I got an early start lol.
My first one was a breeze. My 2nd was tougher but ok...this one is trying to kill me! Lol
My dr said that the body doesnt quite snap back all the way things get worn out and ache more. Makes sense but jeeez... Im 26! Lol

I had three in my 20's and three in my 30's. Definitely easier in my 20's, although regular exercise, getting enough sleep, and eating really healthy definitely takes the edge off.

Your not  alone! I had my last child 7 yrs ago and now being in my 30s I feel it ALL...maybe I needed more vitamins or to prepare my body better,  but bn getting news that I never had b4... hope all goes well and WE CAN DO this:) lol

Yes! I had my son 8 years ago when I was 20. It was the easiest pregnancy ever. Never got sick, never had any pains or complications.. I never even knew I was in labor! Now with this one which is a boy as well im miserable these last few weeks. I havent had the sickness but im having back pains and headaches like crazy. I really do believe age plays a big role.

I had my daughter 4 years ago, but this pregnancy I feel like my body wasn't well equipped. Im struggling through my last bit of this pregnancy.
