I'm having my third child at 39. It's a different experience from when I was pregnant with my other 2 boys.
I was pregnant with my first two kids at 29 and 31. Now, I'm having a third child at 39, and this pregnancy is different.
The author is pregnant for the third time at 39, following two boys born at ages 29 and 31. She experiences more nausea, fatigue, and faster weight gain compared to her previous pregnancies. Despite these challenges, her children help her with daily tasks. Her 40th birthday is in April, and her third son is due just two months before.
The pregnancy was unexpected but welcomed after several miscarriages due to her bicornuate uterus. She has gained 15 pounds so far, and her belly has grown quickly, causing acid reflux and mobility issues. Her older children assist with household chores, making life easier. She has a clean bill of health, though more frequent monitoring is recommended due to her advanced maternal age.
The insurance coverage for advanced maternal age prenatal tests was a relief, allowing her to continue with regular doctor visits.
