depends on her age, if she is over 18 than i would say dont tell her because there is probably a reason that she doesnt want anyone else to know. If she is understage, than i would tell your parents that you know.

I think you should tell her only if you plan on being supportive and helpful. This isn't going to be easy for her, and she could use the support right now. Because you asked this in adolescent I'm assuming that your sister is a teenager. She has some tough decisions to make, and may not know all of her options. There are some really important things that your sister needs to know right now, and you can help get the information to her. Tell your sister these things:
1) Start taking folic acid right away to reduce the baby's risk of birth defects.
2) Tell your mom as soon as you can. I know it's going to be hard, but she can help with getting you to a doctor, which is very important.
3) There is a wide range of options available to you. Consider them all carefully: abortion, adoption, raise the baby yourself, raise the baby with family, etc.
4) You have the right to live with parents until you are 18. If your parents are the type to throw you out on the streets, which I hope they are not, you have the option of calling social services and getting help getting a place to live until you turn 18. They can also help you to find a way to continue your education.
5) You are entitled to receive child support from the baby's father. Your state will help you set that up. You may also qualify for medicaid and other state services.
6) You are not alone. If your parents are not supportive, society will help you, you only have to ask.

Give this information to your sister. It will help her. Try not to judge or be unkind to her right now. Help her to prepare for telling your parents. It's not going to be easy, but she's going to have to do it. Hopefully they will do the right thing and help your sister through this. Good luck.

Your sister NEEDS to tell someone. With pregnancy, you should be getting care from the moment you concieve (if not before) until after the birth. The longer she waits to tell people, the more financial and health problems she may have.

Tell her that you love her and you want to help her, but she HAS to tell your parents that she is pregnant because she needs help to get through this! If she is scared, tell her it will be a lot better then when she is 6 months pregnant and they notice, or when she pops out a baby on the living room floor.

Tell your sister that you know and you won't tell anyone and give her something to use against you if you tell. And be a good sister and don't rat her out to your parents either unless you see she's really sick from being "prego".

I think that, especially if you have a close relationship and can talk without fighting, you should.

I don't know her situation - single, married, planned pregnancy or surprise - but generally a pregnancy is Big News. She probably needs someone to talk to. You can't force it. Perhaps approach her and say, "Look, I've figured out that something big is going on, and I think I know what it is. If you want to talk, I'm here, and you know I won't tell anyone else because I've not already blabbed about what I know."

Good luck to both you and her!

Well, I would talk to her and tell her that you know.

If she isn't taking any pregnant pills then she needs to start taking them, you can get them at Walmart for $5 a bottle of 100. Depending on how far along she is she may need to go to the doctor. If she is doing any drugs or drinking then she needs to stop.

If shes under 18 then she needs to talk to yalls parents. Tell her that you will be there with her, that should comfort her.

why doesn't she want anyone to know? If you think she is scared of what your parents or other people will say or think then tell her that you know and that you think it would be wise for her to tell someone else. That way she can get all the help she needs (and more LOL)

in case you had faint strains, you opt for to take yet another one in about 3-5 days. And about telling your sister, only go as a lot as her with a large smile and teach her the assessments. My sister became there when I took my assessments, yet I advised my fiance' by technique of exhibiting him the try.

I think you should tell her that you know...be discreet and don't call her a prego...that is not the nicest way of asking.
Be respectful of how you ask and make sure to respect her boundaries.

You might want to tell her that you are aware of the pregnancy. Sometimes women don't want to tell family until the first trimester is completed because of complications. She might want to make sure that everything is alright with her pregnancy first. Hope this helps :) Congrats on being an Aunt!
