Firstly I want to say what a sweetie you are for coming here in search of a little help and understanding of what your partner is going through. Kudos to you!
I am not going to speak to the hormones and the morning sickness as there are plenty of gorgeous BB mum's and mum's to be that I am sure will help you on that front.
What I will speak to you about is being pregnant later in life with an older child and younger partner. My husband is 26 and I am 41 Ocotber 7, yep you read right. I have a 15 year old from a previous marriage and also a just turned 5 and 3 year old. I too was concerned about what people may think about me being pregnant again later in life and to someone whom at the time looked young enough to be my son. The thing is it really isn't just what I thought, people actually had the audacity to verbalise some really hurtful and not very insightful comments to my face, and it cut to the quick.
Luckily for me I had a supportive husband and your lovely partner has you. All you can do is be there for her, as my husband was. He really manged to get me through relatively unscathed and now years later (even if at the time with my hormones and the like, I didn't realise) we talk about it and I am able to say a big THANKS.
Just think this will be your partner here one day admitting she was just a "wee bit" difficult when pregnant, and that others suck sometimes, but you somehow make it better!!
