Pregnancy at 28 is different from pregnancy at 39! A first pregnancy is different from a 7th pregnancy.

The nausea (non-existent in my 1st pregnancy) has gotten worse with each subsequent pregnancy. The backache (non-existent in my 1st pregnancy) has gotten worse with each pregnancy.

The energy I had with my 1st pregnancy is non-existent with my 7th pregnancy.

But one good thing has come out of all this – I have been forced to slow down and to take better care of myself. I have no choice or I’ll feel worse than I already do.

The things that I thought mattered have to be re-thought. Do I really need to do ….(fill in the blanks) … or can it wait? Or can it – gasp!- not be done at all?

A friend mentioned that I am very relaxed. I told her that if I have not learnt how to take things slow and easy by now, I wouldn’t be here! I was a task-oriented, Type A personality – or so I thought. Then I had all these children! If I don’t change, I’d go crazy.
