Would love some advice ladies.... okay so basically I haven’t told any of my family yet that I’m pregnant purely because there not the most supportive bunch of people but anyway my brother called me up the other day and told me that him and his wife are having their first baby which I’m over the moon about as they would make great parents, she is about 20 weeks pregnant and is due in July. I don’t know why but I feel abit awkward now to tell anyone I’m pregnant as I will have to tell them eventually as they might notice I have a massive bump lol but I feel my bother might feel I’m stealing the light away from him and his wife? I don’t know this all might sound really silly but I just feel weird about it. I’m not going to say anything until my 12 week scan at the end of the month I just don’t know how to go about it?

@lindaandaria, no exactly I totally agree I hardly see my brother as he lives in Essex and me London so we rarely see each other , I think it’s more his wife that I think will get upset about it as it’s her first but you can’t help theses things, like you said it’s my life, thanks for the help 😘 xx

I can see where your coming from, but don't put your happiness second fiddle though just because your brother is having his first child. They're child is important to them and your child is important to you.
I mean you were so excited to be pregnant and to add to your family, you should be able to share that joy just as much as them.

@bonnieb, see I would be like that if it was the other way round I wouldn’t care at all lol , I would just be happy for them that they were having a baby, I think it’s more his wife that I’m worried about as she’s abit of a brat to say in the nicest way possible. Maybe I’m just overthinking lol xx

don't overthink it 😁 my brother and his girlfriend announced they were pregnant when I was pregnant and I was made up for them, not only was I becoming a mammy but an aunty too 😁 x

My sister told everyone she was pregnant with her first the day I found out I was preggers with Maeve. I felt like I was stealing her thunder! Wait until after your scan and id tell your brother and his wife first and say you have a little cousin on the way. Im sure people will understand that you want to wait till after your scan and it might bring you and your sister inlaw closer being pregnany together. X

@kayteamay, I hope so I hope I’m just being silly and everything works out xx

My brother and his girlfriend lost a baby a month or so before I found out I was pregnant. I hated having to tell them but I didn't want them finding out from someone else. When I told them my brothers girlfriend sent me vile messages and told my brother stuff I never said to her. I haven't spoken to them since. But his girlfriend is a psycho so your experience will be nowhere near as bad hun x

@sarahlucindagiddins I'm sure they will 😁 my brother and his girlfriend were hesitant to tell me at first but I was buzzing for them and now Kai gets a little cousin close in age 😁 my first time becoming an aunty too xx

@megan-leigh, that’s so horrible I’m so sorry Hun, yeah I don’t think it will be too bad I’m just worried what they are going to say, mostly the wife as she’s really like a diva and everything has to be her way xx

@sarahlucindagiddins Its fine I'm used to not having any family support as I've had to fend for myself since I was 16. I'm sure they will be happy for You! You can't help when you end up getting pregnant. It happens when it wants to happen xx

My sister didnt tell anyone until she was about 16weeks both times. First time because she didn't find out until she was 14weeks 😂 2nd time I was also pregnant (My first) and she didn't want to 'steal my thunder'. I kinda thought that was sweet of her, but she didn't have to. I wouldn't have minded if she's told everyone around the same time. It was kinda nice to go through pregnancy together. Tell people when you want to & how you want to. If they've already made the announcement they will have had some time to shine and enjoy the 'attention' before you do.
