Pregnant at 40, totally different from other pregnancies

Hi ladies.......
So I'm sat here and nearly 8 weeks pregnant thinking how different this is to any of my other pregnancies at 26, 29 and 30 years old.
At this point I was puking for Britain and probably could've taken a gold medal if it was an Olympic sport......, this time, I've felt sick but bugger all else apart from feeling insanely tired, I struggle like hell to get thru a work day and then have broken sleep at night 🙄
Obviously I'm kinda confused on why I'm not getting the dreaded morning sickness, is it because of less hormones?! Different guy Sperm?! Less stress?!
Who knows eh?
However I have noticed that I am spotting more than in previous pregnancies, been told this is tho and to only panic if I'm gushing like a waterfall....... ok then lol.
Are any of u finding being pregnant in ur 40's different?!
Would love to hear ur experiences xx

I was 20 with my first pregnancy and now I'm 29, 30 in a couple of months. This time round I feel awful and struggling to do basic day to day things. 😭 x

I had my last at 39 there was a 12 year gap , different father. Easiest pregnancy ever , felt sick for a few weeks which was never actually that bad, quite manageable . I never felt tired which was very strange but also great !
