I hope to find out soon and chime in! One of my coworkers said her hardest pregnancy was when she was 35. My mom had me at 35 and my little sister at 36 and I remember her saying she was sick a lot.

I have nothing to compare it to but everything has seemed to hit me in the last couple of weeks! I'm forced to take it much easier at work and home and find myself exhausted.

I was pregnant with baby #1 at 22-23 years old, piece of cake. Baby #2 when I was 32, super awesome, best I had ever felt pregnant or not. Baby #3 I'm 36 and feel 70. This pregnancy feels totally different and I'm wiped. Thank god it's almost over.

Totally wiped this time, not sure if its the fact that I now have a toddler as well as working full time and a 3-4 hour commute every day or if my body is just not the same after having one baby!!!

I am in bed by 9 every night i am so tired, defo wasn't as tired as this the last time, although in fairness i probably shouldn't complain as other than the tiredness and wanting to eat chocolate instead of healthy food I have no other complaints!!! x

My kids #1-7 were born in my 20s. #7 was born a few months before I turned 30. #8 was born right after I turned 35. I was amazed at how much harder the pregnancy was on me physically. I felt like I could sleep all the time and got exhausted so much more easily. Now I'm on pregnancy #12, baby #10, and it's even a little harder than #8 was.

Hi ladies,

I am 37 and experiencing my very first pregnancy ever and currently 21 weeks 2 days. I get tired just from cleaning the house. Recently I had a candle party organised at our house, which turned into a bbq for family at 5.30pm and then the candle party with 20+ adults and kids all crammed into my house at 7.30pm. Needless to say I roared at my mother in law when she took over my kitchen, having cleaned all day long to a reasonable standard. The next day I couldn't walk on my feet, felt like I had been out dancing in stilettos all night.

I have felt this way for the past month and progressively getting worse as the time runs further into the pregnancy, and of course I am only just half way, so I am not sure how I'll be able to carry on all the way to the end.

Hi ladies I had #1 at 18 #2 at 21 #3 at 22 so now I'm 38 with #4 and yes must admit in the 1st 12 weeks I felt soooo tired but I'm acctually feeling mentally more able , I have gone of sex though so maybe thas not having enough energy xx

Definitely harder! With my first I was 20 and had maybe a week of exhaustion. My youngest I had at 32 and what a huge difference! Everything worse, sickness, exhausted the whole time except the very end...go figure :/... extra moody and intolerant. This one I am 35 and omg, so far worse than even my little guy! Have to make my butt get up to do anything and omg my hormones are a mess!
