How to announce pregnancy to infertile brother and SIL?

[Lou1293]

Hi everyone,

We have recently found out that we are expecting our first baby. We got married in July and I have been lucky to fallen pregnant the first cycle of trying.

My brother and SIL have been struggling with fertility for about 3 years. I think my brother would take the news well and be happy but worry it would really hurt SIL initially. She told me when her best friend told her she was pregnant (on FaceTime) she cried for hours 😔

Any advice how to share our news? I thought about telling my brother on his own and letting him tell her? Or a text message to allow her time to feel her feelings and let the news settle?

Thank you!!

Texting is better than telling them in person.
But it still won't go down well either way.
She might surprise you and be happy for you both even though deep inside it's killing her.
I so many people don't care how their family or friends are feeling but you are so good to be thinking of them. Even though your excited you don't want to rub it in their faces.
