I just realized if I were to get pregnant this cycle there would be 3 years between my youngest and this next baby. Three full years. There was only supposed to be 18 months between her and her younger sibling. I was shocked when I got pregnant, but it was okay, having close babies was going to be fun. Now I am on target to have the biggest gap of all my children. I didn't want to hae more than 3 years between them again. I did that with Pat and Mike and didn't like it.


Why do I almost feel like I don't want to bother? But I know if I don't I will feel like i somehow didn't fullfill my potential?

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I think feeling the way you do is completely natural.

it's so hard when the reason it's not as you planned is because of losses. I mean, I'm headed for 3 years between Patrick and the next and would like less, but that's because I can't ttc right now, and that's different.
