Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I think that your sister is being so brave giving this baby up, it must be the hardest thing in the world to do. I am sure your family will support her, regardless of what she decides. I understand what you say about you and SIL being pregnant.

When I was younger my parents and four of my younger brothers and sisters visited my aunt and uncle in London and stayed for about a week. My sister was three months old, and we found out when we were there that my aunt had had a miscarriage the week before. My Mom didn't know what to do.

The next year we went on holidays with them and they left to go for IVF treatment in the middle of it, and my Mom just found out she was expecting my little brother. That IVF attempt for them failed, but their eldest daughter is only 5 months younger than my little brother. As soon as they quit the UVF somehow she got pg naturally. She had three girls in four years, having spent years and thousands on TTC! See, a happy story. (I will leave the stories of her being an unfit mother for another time!)

All you can do is be sensitive to your sister and also support her, that is what family are for.
