[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had my oldest kid at 30 and my youngest kid a few months after turning 38. Don't underestimate how much more exhausting the pregnancy might be. DS is almost 3 now and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel more than I did during my older kids' toddler years because I've been through it before, but, man, the pregnancy and first year were brutal.[/quote] I had my first at 30 and my third at 38. I had my first two close together so I felt much more tired at age 33 with a 2 year old and a baby than when I had a third child at 38 when my kids were 5 and 7. I also was a working mom with the first two. My maternity leave was exhausting and going back to work felt like a vacation. With my third, I had 2 kids in school and I stopped working so it felt very manageable.[/quote]
