Anyone else TTC with a HUGE (16+ years) sibling age gap?

I know nobody else like me in real life but I can’t be the only one. I had my first and only child when I was 18, they are now 18 themselves. It’s taken me this long to find the right person to settle down with and we both want a child together and about to start TTC. I feel anxious about it as I just don’t know how it’ll go down with my DC when I tell them I am pregnant, will they be mortified? Will they feel like they aren’t enough or that they’re being replaced? It’s been this dynamic for so long it’ll be such a huge change. Having said that DC is doing their A levels this year and then off into the world to start their own plans so might not even be living here much if/when a baby came along.

@CinderRosie i was 18 too when we had our first. He’s now 16. We also have a 12 & 5 year old. Miscarried last year and been trying since.

my older 2 absolutely adore their 5 year old sister. So I’m hoping my 16 year old would be ok with another!

I think at any age the thought of their mum and dad dtd is just disgusting. But we are only human. X
