Age effecting how I feel while pregnant?

I'm 32 and pregnant with baby number 4.  My boys are 15, 12, and 8.  ImAt only 6 weeks along I feel like this baby is taking more of a toll on me already then any of my others.  Is it due to me being older now?  I know every pregnancy is different but I definitely feel these symptoms earlier and more extreme m

I'm 29 and having or second. I'm only 9 weeks and this pregnancy is rough :( I've been so tired and dizzy. Vomiting the other day but luckily hasn't happened again. My first pregnancy was a breeze... I was 26/27 and as long as I ate all day I was golden... now I eat I feel sick...eat to little feel sick... no happy medium.  The dizziness is awful and all I want to do is nap. Luckily I'm at stay at home Mom for my almost 2 year old but my house is a mess due to not being able to keep up with my duties.

It's tiresome to parent other children while pregnant.  My (first) pregnancy was when I was a lot older than you, and I wasn't particularly run down.  Sleepy in the trimester where you want to sleep all the time (is that the second one?) but otherwise fine.  But that was because I wasn't also taking care of a kid.  My son is 9 now, and even at 9 (where he doesn't need constant care) I know would find it much harder to manage a pregnancy if I was also managing him, getting him off to school, cleaning up after him, packing his lunches, doing his laundry, dealing with his friends, etc.  At least when pregnant with him, I *could* sleep, or loaf, or watch TV, without answering to anyone else.  Kids don't give you too many mental breaks!  lol

I don't know. My kids are 9 & 8 and I'm 29' This is the hardest pregnancy ever. I'm 24 weeks& vomiting Every single day. I feel miserable. I look at newly pregnant women and feel bad for them. I feel like I'm having a bad dream that I can't wake up from til August 31st. I was happy during my first two pregnancies at 20 & 21. I was out and about still enjoying life. Now all I do is eat, vomit, go to school, sleep, eat, vomit again then go back to sleep.  16 longggg weeks to go!

Very much agree age is a factor. I always loved being pregnant but at 33 with#5 I'm run down. I'm 28 weeks and the whole pregnancy had been tough. I didn't get that 2nd trimester burst of energy and coming into 3rd tri I feel exhausted all the time. I wanted 6 kids but I think this is it. And honestly, from someone who doesn't like drinking I'd really enjoy a beer right about now. 12 more weeks
