My aunt is 36, I'm 23. She has been trying to get pregnant for years. I have a 22 month old and just found out I am pregnant again. My hubby and I have been trying to conceive. But how do I break the news to my aunt. I know how badly she wants a baby and how bad she felt when I was pregnant with my son. So how would u break the news.

DANCING---That's a good idea but my aunt doesn't like babysitting or watching other people's children. Plus, I haven't had morning sickness or anything yet with this one

she is family, she should be happy for you. pray for her and hope for the best. especially if she is stressed it's hard for a women's body to function right.

Well.... you better let her in on the secret soon or your belly will give you away -lol-. All joking aside, I feel so bad for your aunt. I was in the same situation at one time with one of my relatives, my cousin. She and her husband finally decided to adopt. They adopted a lovely little girl. Well I don't know what happened, but it did the trick. My cousin had her own baby 1 year later, almost a year to the exact same day they adopted their daughter. Now they have FOUR children and who could be so lucky... they have 2 boys and 2 girls. The reason I tell you of this experience.... maybe you can pass this on to your aunt. It would be worth a try. And even if your aunt doesn't have her own birth child. Adoption is a wonderful thing to experience. My cousin was just as over joyed with her oldest daughter as she was with the other 3 children.

When I lost my baby, I got jealous and offended that my friend showed pictures and talked about her newborn alot, even after I told her that I lost a baby.
How about your aunt babysitting your 22 month old so she can relieve her mommy symptoms? If your aunt lives close to you or not too far away.
Or ask if they have volunteer positions at the hospital (nursery area) so your aunt can hold and nurture newborns? Newborns are left isolated in the crib and they crave to be held. Hope this helps!

Breaking the news is not alright sometimes but sometimes you have to face it. I know how your aunt feels I'm a 31yrs women and I can't have kids. I cry a lot about it. But that's life some people can have baby's and some can't. Just break the news and if she love's you she will face it. Like I do. One of my family member just had a little girl. I way sad. And happy at the sometime. Just tell her you love her. And it will be ok. God bless you and your family.

Tell her in confidence, don't make a big announcment in front of the whole family until she knows. She may be sad, but she will still be happy for you.
When someone suffers from infertility for a long time, every pregnancy can seem like a slap in the face. But she loves you, right? Does she get to spend much time with you and your son? She may enjoy being his "special auntie", which will give her a connection with a child she longs for, and give you some rest during the pregnancy and infancy of thisd new baby. Good luck

I cant have a baby either and although it silently tears at my heart a little everytime someone around me gets pregnant, Im still happy for them. I know how happy I would be. Tell her before most other people in your life. She doesnt want to "the one" youre afraid to tell.. shes your aunt and she wants you to be upfront with her. Try to understand what she feels.. be gentle when you let her know. Its a lot different for women like me I think to see it happening to someone who WANTS a child, rather to see someone who doesnt want the baby.. its good and reassuring to know the baby will be in a loving home.. I hope this helps and I hope it doesnt depress anyone. Good luck!

Of course u want to b sensitive, but I don't think u hv to play to her sadness. By telling her in a somber way(as if this is bad news) u may just make it worse. Don't make a big production out of telling her separately from others for instance just say it casually, not too overly excited and follow her lead. Hopefully she will put on a brave face n express happiness for u, which is what she should do. Concern for her, yes, guilt, no.

Just be honest with her. Surely it will make her upset, whether she lets you know that or not, but you can't exactly hide it. It's not your fault she is having trouble conceiving and you're not...so you shouldn't feel badly that you are pregnant. Be honest with her. Maybe make her the godmother.

you being pregnant should be a happy time for you,, thank you for being understanding to the sensitivity of your aunts feelings,, just have a private talk with her.. She will thank you for sparing her the embarrassment in a public setting.

There is no easy way to do that...but she should be happy for you and maybe you could help her look into other options such as a adoption. good luck i hope everything turns out okay and congrats on the new little one.
