Pregnant after 35

6 weeks along and symptoms are very very mild!

My first pregnancy was horrible! So bad that I told my husband that I didn't want anymore kids in fear that I would have to go through the hell again. I was very sick and exhausted with horrible headaches and food aversions the first trimester. The second trimester brought tension headaches, insomnia, restless leg syndrome and pregnancy carpal tunnel in both wrists! The third trimester was the same as the 2nd and on top of that I ran a week over my due date where I was induced and all ended in a caesarean. This pregnancy so far in comparison to my first (and I know I am only 6 weeks) is going much smoother! I am hoping it stays this way! If your 2nd pregnancy was easier than your first, please share your comparison story, I would love to hear the differences!

    I will be 6 weeks tomorrow and so far, both my pregnancies are identical symptom wise.  It's great because the symptoms are very mild, but that does nothing for my nerves.  I don't know if it will change in later weeks.

  • I'm 6 weeks too and I had to take another test this morning to convince myself that I'm still pregnant. Forget the fact that my dr has checked my hcg levels twice the first week ! I'm tired, sure, but I'm also 41 with a 3 yo. I'm irritable, but same goes ;) no MS, no super crazy huge sensitive boobs. Nothing like last time. Nothing at all.
  • Wow! Hoping this will last! I too was thinking of taking another pregnancy test just because I don't feel pregnant. I hope this pregnancy will be a breeze. I might be kicking myself later though. Haha
  • My first pregnancy I was projectile vomiting and was super tired in my first trimester. This pregnancy, 7 weeks today, has been different but no worse. I was super tired to the point I couldn't do anything and just felt sick over all. Nausea seems to be huge thing for me and this baby gets me all dizzy if I don't eat every couple hours.

  • Haha! 6 weeks... That's when hell starter for me. And lasted till 15 weeks just about...
  • I felt pretty good up until 8 weeks then BOOOM....non stop nausea and it shows no signs of letting up (I am at 10. 5 weeks now). Enjoy while you can! 
  • My first three pregnancies were a nightmare extreme morning sickness the entire 40 weeks high risk confined to the bed bleeding throughout.... That was 10 yrs ago and surprise! I seem to be pregnant again and omg i feel great few bouts of morning sickness thats it .... I keep doing pregnancy tests and they keep coming up positive lol so i must be pregnant just the lack of symptoms is confusing given my 3 previous pregnancies
