At 26 you are far from "older"!! I had my last baby at 41 and things were fine.
Each pregnancy is different, and it important to remember, so is your lifestyle when you conceive, your level of health and general fitness, and possibly your view of actually being pregnant - all of which can and will impact upon how well the pregnancy goes. You now have general life pressures on you that may not have existed when you had your first babies - you didn't have two preschool kids to run around after, for instance.
"A lot" of people who have told you it gets worse as you get older are not necessarily correct. Women who expect their pregnancies to be worse as they get older will report their pregnancies to be worse, if you know what I mean.
Your age does NOT necessarily have to influence your pregnancy. Whether you are 26, 36 or 46 - each pregnancy is different. Don't assume it's your age alone that governs how you feel in pregnancy.

Yes that's true only if you don't keep yourself in good working order. I know that sounds like I am talking about a car. But to be honest. As one does get older one must look after the body and the body will look after you. Also the soul counts as well.
Fit in mind body and soul, and the mind body and soul will look after you.
My mother had her last child at 45yrs and I was told I could have
the same. No thank you. I play tennis and netball three days and two nights. So I still keep very fit .

I had my third pregnancy 10 years after the second, at age 36. It was no worse than the other two, and my baby was the best behaved of the lot! Every pregnancy is different. Hope yours improves. Good luck!

It did for me...but then I had 4 kids in 5 years so that may have had a lot to do with it. I started at 26 and had my last one right after I turned 31.

I think they get a little harder. I had my first at 23, my second at 25 and they were very easy. I had my third at 31 and I had a lot more mood swings, hunger cravings, and was more tired.

Yes, mine did most definitely. I was 39 having my last child. I suffered high blood pressure, constant tiredness and totally swollen legs and feet. I had my other children in my twenties and had no problems at all. Good luck!

till 32 - 33 it isnt a problem at all - conception after 40 is very difficult.. and can lead to complications.
