Is it REALLY this different?????

[xnikitax]

I'm 39 yrs old and my baby girl will be here in under 2 weeks. Scheduled c-section due to previous C-section.  Any who, this is my 2nd pregnancy, my first born was delivered EXACTLY 10 years ago.  My question is the body aches and pains. I know my body is 10 years older. But is the difference in hip spreading pain, joint pain and overall achyness supposed to be this bad?  I'm EXACTLY the same weight as I was 10 years ago- 5'11" 175lbs. Before pregnancy I was active, ate well and took care of myself. Is his just part of being OLD AND PREGO???

38 years and 31 weeks with my 5th and its been the longest and hardest mOnths of my life, been contracting for the last week, am still working so it makes it harder. So i guess its the age.. good luck to all and congrats

I am 39 (35 wks) and I can't tell if it was because I had a different mind set,pain tolerence, or a busy life style (13 years ago for me) that's definitely making this pregnancy far less fun than last time. I hate to admit it but perhaps it is the "old" factor...lol I didn't feel old participating in the events that got me here...lol but I feel old and decrepit now...please Lord let this be temporary!!!

I am 41 and pregnant with my 5th child and yes I think you do seem to feel more of the aches and pains as compared to before. Good luck you are almost done. I have about 4 more weeks to go.....
