My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant, we just found out that his sister is pregnant and she already has one kid. We're happy for her, but would it be weird if I were to get pregnant and since she's pregnant that they would be born close to the same time?

keep trying it may take a while till you conceive and by then hers is probably born already and that way your kids can play together. the exact same thing is happening to me we've been trying and no luck yet and 2 of my sister in laws got pregnant and they are both fixin to have theirs and here we are still trying they dont know so i cant ask em for any advise or let em know im kinda up set about it well actually im not up set just jealous

I don't think it would be weird, I think it would be awesome! It would probably bring the 2 of you closer as you share the experience, and Then the kids would always have someone close to their age to play with! That happened to me, my sister got pregnant without trying, when I had been trying for over a year. I cried for a few days but then I realized, another nephew would be really cool. (She has 2 older boys, 8 & 10) He's now 9 months old and he still doesn't have a cousin from me! He stayed with us for 2 weeks when he was 7 months old and that was a great experience.

I don't think it would be weird. My sister and I stopped out birth control initially 3 days apart. She got pregnant with in a few weeks, and told us at 2 months. Honestly, i was devastated, cause they already had a kid. But the more I thought about it, the more I would of loved the idea of being pregnant at the same time as her, sharing the same things with her, and having out kids be like sisters or brothers.
Alas, she had my neice in September, and we're still trying :(

My husband and I tried for a year and a half. We FINALLY got pregnant and then his sister got pregnant. Our babies were born 10 days apart.
Don't stop trying just because she is pregnant, it's a great thing to have cousins close in age.

do not stop trying because she is pregnant. it's normal to be a bit jealous. just think of all the things your kids can do together and share since they are so close in age. even better if y'all live by eachother and they can go to school together. they'll already have a friend...a best friend. i'm going through this same situation. my husband and i have been together since high school, off and on. we decided to stay on after being off for 3 years and we got married and have been trying ever since 2000. all of our friends that we've grown up with have 2 kids or are just having kids now and we are the last to have anything and the longest to have tried. it seemed like they all did absolutely nothing and BAM!!! it happened, but not for us. i'm kind of scared that when we do conceive i will be going through it all alone. i really don't have very many single friends now, so that's a plus for you. you can have someone to share in all the action with you and you won't have to feel alone. hope this helps. just realx and stay positive. that's what i keep telling myself. good luck babe

My son is 2 and my brother's daughter is 2 1/2; I was pregnant at the same time as my sister-in-law.
The closeness in their age is awesome, they are so close and I got a lot closer to my sister-in-law during my pregnancy (had someone to relate to). Just hope you get there soon and be happy, it's a good thing, not a bad!!!

What would be so bad about that, they may grow up very close cousins ect...Just because she is pregnant does not mean you should wait to get pregnant now unless it bugs you then wait..
The good thing about that is you wouldn't have to do it alone, you two could be their for eachother, she could help you out since she is experienced..That would be a good way for you two to bond if you don't already it may bring you too real close..

When we had our son nearly 4 years ago, my sis-in-law had just had her son 5 months earlier. And last year my sis-in-law had twins in August, my sis had twins on Nov. 14, and we had a baby girl on Nov 21--it seemed like everyone in my family was pregnant at the same time.
I actually think its nice for our kids to have cousins that are so close in age to them. It wasn't weird at all for us all to be pregnant at the same time, it actually gave us all something to talk about and bond over.

You just be happy for them and keep trying for your own little one. Look at the bright side you kids would be close in age and can play well together. Hope some of her luck in getting PG rubs off on you!

First it is normal to be jealous if you are. As a fertility patient I went through this. If you are to get pregnant it will be good, the babies will be cousins and they will be close in age and they could play together this is ideal. Good luck
