I found out I was pregnant a week before my son turned 2. I was so happy I was going to give my son a sibling and he will have a best friend for life. Iāve miscarried now and feel like Iāve failed my son. The age gap is getting bigger and bigger.
Me and my sister are close in age (2 year gap) and my husband is a twin. So we both know how important it is to have a sibling.
I wish I started trying for baby no 2 sooner. It doesnāt help that I am 38 years old and a few pounds heavier!

Hi! I could have written this post myself. Iāve gone on to have a total of three pregnancy losses now. My husband in an āIrish twinā though, so they are 10 months apart š
Literally everything.
Iām also 38. Letās be friends!?

Couldnāt wrote this myself. I felt like Iād failed my son by not being able to give him a sibling even tho heās only 18mo

Right there with you. Iāve had two losses in the last 12 months. Have gone from a 2yr2month age gap to my son being a minimum of 3.5 earliest. Iāve had to work really hard with my counsellor to talk about the positives of my son getting older.

Same. Iām now trying for a 4 year age gapā¦the gap keeps getting bigger and I turn 37 next month.
