My DD is 9 and we are considering TTC number 2 I will be 30 in March. I'm just wondering if anyone has had pregnancies so far apart? Will I be a lot more tired ? My first pregnancy I felt very heavy at the end,tired and I was 20! I exercise a far bit and try to eat well. Thank you.

Well I've only had 1 pregnancy but at 32/33 and up until the last month/6 weeks I felt great! Then the tiredness/ achiness happened.

I was 18 my first pregnancy and I'm currently 29 weeks at age 31. I have to admit... it's brutal compared to when I was 18 😂 so much more tiring but life is very different. I still never had any sickness but the tiredness is unreal and I already feel absolutely beat at 29 weeks. But it will be so worth it 🥰 x

Yip I feel your pain. My son is 13 so really independent and dad deals with the footie as he's the coach so I'm off the hook with that but work long hours, doing a degree and running a house. Still really glad we've done it but so just go for it, you don't want to regret not having another x

I've had babies at 21,30, 31, 40, and 41.

Oddly the best I felt was with number 4. My only boy, had no spd and I glowed.

21 was really hard for many reasons but not actually physically that bad..

30 was fine

31 and 41 were tiring because I had toddlers to care for. Final one was a tricky pregnancy as it was lockdown, homeschooling 2 kids, juggling a toddler plus it wasn't straightforward pregnancy.
