Age gap (TW LC)

I’m a lurker in this group and not pregnant again but didn’t know where it would be appropriate to post.

Anyone else also mourning a widening age gap if you have an LC? I had a miscarriage and D&C at 13 weeks for a pregnancy affected by T21 10/4/24…we were heartbroken then felt so blessed to have a seemingly healthy pregnancy 3 months later. Everything was perfect until 9/15/25 when I noticed decreased movement…delivered my sleeping angel on 9/16/25 at 37 weeks 2 days we were SO close to having her here safe with us…I had an induction scheduled for 9/28.

My living daughter is 2.5 now we wanted our children to be close in age and now I see that widening and widening and I feel so sad for my daughter. She’s alone still and I was hoping she’d have a playmate…I know they still can be and who even knows if I’ll be able to conceive again. We are forced to wait 12 weeks because one of my labs came back abnormal and I need them redrawn at 12 weeks to see if clotting contributed to Quinn’s death (OB feels strongly it was a cord incident after seeing it-us too). We will also be doing IVF due to anxiety mainly and wanting to control for SOMETHING. Maybe it’s a blessing in disguise to have more time? I go back and forth minute by minute.

Anyways this was such a ramble, thank you for listening friends ❤️‍🩹🫂
