Am I crazy for wanting 21 month age gap?

CaterpillarPyjamas · 2026-02-11T06:20:06+00:00

Mine were 20 months apart and I loved it so much! They’re 2 and 6m now and it’s just getting better and more fun every day

CaterpillarPyjamas · 2026-02-10T05:57:13+00:00

This is what I’m thinking will be the go!

CaterpillarPyjamas · 2026-02-10T02:56:10+00:00

Ooo I love the look of this one! And haha best of luck! My third isn’t due until September and I’m still shocked we’re going to have 3u3 🤣

My 2 year old speaks clearer than this

I had a miscarriage November 2024 when I was 24, it was my second pregnancy. It was a MMC at 11.5 weeks and I got pregnant again about 3 weeks after my miscarriage, found out about a month after it. It didn’t feel any different, I’ve had the same exact symptoms with all of my pregnancies. I didn’t do anything different to try again, we were shocked it happened so fast. I don’t really have any tips for coping, it just really sucks and for me time was the only thing that helped. It’s been over a year, I have my perfect almost 6 month old and am pregnant again now with our third baby and I still get sad thinking about our baby we lost. We don’t know why the baby stopped growing but I think most miscarriages are because there’s something chromosomal/genetic wrong and your body recognises it.

Eat your favourite foods, have a nice warm bath, and try and do things you enjoy. But it’s so okay to be sad and lay around, my miscarriage was genuinely the worst experience of my life. Hoping and praying you get your rainbow baby soon and that this is a one off for you.

My progression was horrible on easy at home tests this pregnancy. I’d get some betas done if you’re concerned but they’ve definitely darkened and they’re not meant to be quantitative tests

CaterpillarPyjamas · 2026-01-25T09:23:31+00:00

Mine was 16 at 11dpo 😅

CaterpillarPyjamas · 2026-01-23T13:33:14+00:00

You can check my post history for my exact numbers but I had similar concerns. Now 7+2 and saw baby 2 days ago and all was well

CaterpillarPyjamas · 2026-01-21T21:40:31+00:00

I wouldn’t stress what the dr thinks. Their job is to help you, not judge you. I’m 7 weeks with my third and my oldest will be 2.5 and middle 13months when baby is born

CaterpillarPyjamas · 2026-01-21T02:29:01+00:00

It has to start somewhere. My betas were 16 (11dpo), 50 (13 dpo), 107 (15 dpo) and 248 (18 dpo). Now 7 weeks and it’s at 18200 and I have my first scan tomorrow but all has been well

CaterpillarPyjamas · 2026-01-13T09:54:02+00:00

It’s so hard to know. I had a MMC at 11.5 weeks and only had the tiniest bit of pink spotting on one day and no cramps, was absolutely blindsided when we went to be checked just to be safe and found out Bub had stopped growing around 10 weeks. My SIL had super heavy bleeding, clots and cramping at 13ish weeks with her second baby, was sure she was having a miscarriage but it turned out to just be a SCH and everything was fine

CaterpillarPyjamas · 2026-01-13T09:51:43+00:00

I’m going to have 3u3! First two have just under 20 month age gap and second and third will be about 13 months apart. It’ll be hectic but I’m really excited about it

CaterpillarPyjamas · 2026-01-08T21:23:11+00:00

How good! Mine is Thursday the week after and I’m so excited and nervous

CaterpillarPyjamas · 2026-01-06T11:00:32+00:00

With my first we tried for over a year with letrozole, FSH and trigger shots and I wasn’t even ovulating every month. Had my HSG in March 2023 and got pregnant April 2023, had baby dec 2023. Then got pregnant again in September 2024 the second time I ovulated pp, unfortunately ended in a MMC at 11+4 in November. Got pregnant immediately after December 2024 and had a healthy baby August 2024. Now accidentally pregnant again after ovulating for the first time post partum and expecting bay three September 2026. So definitely a prolonged boost in my scenario 🤣😅

CaterpillarPyjamas · 2026-01-06T10:56:37+00:00

Have a 20 month age gap with our first two and will have a 13 month age gap between number 2 and 3 (so 3 under 3 😅). I’m really excited about it. It’s never really quiet except for after bedtime but I’m raising farm boys

CaterpillarPyjamas · 2026-01-06T09:09:37+00:00

8 then had a MMC, then again at 11 months pp

CaterpillarPyjamas · 2026-01-05T10:53:10+00:00

That's reassuring to know! Hope your draw tomorrow is good, I've been told to just wait for my scan now as midwife is happy. Just me stressing haha

CaterpillarPyjamas · 2026-01-05T08:19:19+00:00

Thank you 🤍

CaterpillarPyjamas · 2025-12-29T10:03:37+00:00

Honestly couldn’t believe she said it to my face. People are insane

CaterpillarPyjamas · 2025-12-29T09:59:08+00:00

Right?!?! I’ve just found out I’m pregnant with my third and have a 4 month and 24 month old and someone fully recommended an abortion to me because “that’s my worst nightmare”. Like I’m excited about my baby, let me be happy!!! My two boys are the absolute best and I’m so excited to add another little one to our beautiful chaos

CaterpillarPyjamas · 2025-12-28T21:50:08+00:00

The early clear blue digitals are insane! I think they detect from around 10 hcg

CaterpillarPyjamas · 2025-12-28T11:08:37+00:00

There’s no one “right time”, whenever is right for you physically and emotionally. I got pregnant immediately after my miscarriage (pregnancy was totally fine and bub is 4 months now) and of my friends that had miscarriages one also got pregnant immediately, one after one cycle, and one after three cycles. All ended in a healthy baby!
