Feeling sad that I lost the ideal 2 year gap

Rhiannon

I need some comfort and reassurance. I’m miscarrying my second pregnancy and it was going to be perfect. My son was born 4/1/19 and this one was due 4/17/21 so they’d be two years apart which is EXACTLY what i wanted.

I’m still suffering with this miscarriage right now and if I’m lucky I doubt I’ll be pregnant again for two months. That means that (assuming I manage to get pregnant immediately) the age gap will be 2.5 years instead. I am very upset about this and even more upset about the fact there might be an even bigger gap. All I wanted was my kids to be super close in age and now I feel like I’m going to lose that. I wanted them to share interests and be best friends/bicker buddies lol.

Since there was no baby at the 12 week ultrasound I’m more mourning this time loss than anything. Anyone have a 2.5 year gap and have kids that are besties? what about 3 years? Or was it tough and you dealt with jealousy or disinterest more which is what I’m scared of? Please tell me I didn’t miss out on the best close age gap.
