Can you give this mum-to-be some compassionate advice? Anonymous writes, My sister has been struggling with infertility for three years. She is currently undergoing her second round of fertility treatments after the first round was unsuccessful. She is very depressed about what she is going through and it breaks my heart. I have tried to be a sounding board for her and to listen to her and support her as much as I can. The other day, she said to me, Im so glad youre not pregnant! I couldnt stand it if you got pregnant when I couldnt. It turns out, I *am* pregnant -- just six weeks, and my husband and I had decided not to tell anyone yet, partly out of respect for my sister and her husband. But now I am feeling very ill at the prospect of actually telling her when the time comes. I dont know how to handle this. She is my sister and I see her all the time, and I wont be able to hide it forever. I also feel like I cant be excited about my pregnancy, even just quietly by myself, as I feel guilty when I know she is in such pain. Has anyone else been in this tough spot?
