Ideas for how to tell auntie I'm pregnant?

[bluemoon2468]

I'm 4-5 weeks pregnant, and although I'm not telling many people, I really want to tell one of my aunties on her birthday in 2 weeks. She's been battling breast cancer over the past 8 months (thankfully nearly at a positive end to her journey we hope) and is currently very frail from chemo, and could really do with some positive news. I'd like to tell her before everyone else in my wider family so that she is able to be in on the secret, and hopefully this brings her some happiness over the next few months. Can you think of any exciting/fun/sweet reveal ideas related to her birthday? I won't have had a scan yet so I won't be able to frame a picture or anything 😕

Happy birthday Great Auntie card ?

I'd get her a card and sign it from "the 3 of us". She'll soon click when she reads it.

@QOD I thought of that but she's already a great aunt about 20 times over, she might not even register it on the front 😆

Heyyy congratulations! My good friend totally surprised me with her pregnancy news by handing me a mini glass bottle with a cork. Inside this was a piece of scrolled up paper. My initial reaction was a trinket... for obvious reasons lol. Once I opened up the paper it said 'hello Aunty, can't wait to meet you soon' I immediately began crying with joy ❤️

It was so memorable and I've still kept the scrolled paper with the bottle. I love looking back on little trinkets like these as it's part of a life event that only you share with the other person x

Good luck to you and I wish your Aunty a speedy recovery

Op, I hope you don’t take this the wrong way, but I really regretted having told my dad who had just been lost his mother about my pg. I went on to have a mc - Mmc seen at the 12 week scan and he took it very hard.

I’m sure you will have a very healthy and straightforward pg but as you say she’s very frail I would wait until you’ve had a scan until you tell her, just in case.

This article is full of ideas. Big congratulations
