Pregnant at 30 & 35

DTNZ4Ever

When I was 30 it took me less time to get pregnant and I felt great except for a few days here and there. This time around the aches and pains, constipation just overall yuckiness is not fun. Grateful to be pregnant just wish I would feel normal again.

I don't have a previous pregnancy to compare it to since I never made it past first tri, but at 40 I will say this pregnancy has kicked my butt. And my DH keeps trying to compare me to younger women who basically acted like superwoman when they were pregnant- to use a term so often favored on other boards, I seriously want to throat punch him sometimes! I'm 40!! And my body has been through a hell of a lot over the past 2 years! It's so unfair to expect me to have the same energy as someone in their twenties or thirties who haven't suffered any losses. Ugh.

I had my first baby at almost 25, #2 at 34.5 and I'll be 36.5 when this baby is born.  It was way different being pregnant at 24 than 34 - much easier.

I had my last at 29 and this time im 35 I remember being tired- but not this tired!!!
