Some of you may remember the discussion I posted about a week ago regarding my sister and her issues with having a baby, and my feeling that it was karma because of things she had done in the past. Well, she showed up at my doorstep at 8am last Sunday ( I couldn't sleep in if I were dead)to tell me she's pregnant! 6 weeks pregnant! So I asked her what was up with the story about the ovarian cysts, and making me worry about her, etc.. I was a little peeved. She said they didn't want anyone to know she was pregnant until they were sure everything was okay with the baby, and that she does have cysts, she just gave me the huge BS story to cover their tracks so to speak. I'm excited at the thought of being an aunt, but still irritated she had to lie and not just keep the pregnancy from me until they were ready to tell.

How nice of her to lie to you, don't you just love that?
I don't know, something about liers just gets under my skin, and even if they excited me with ''i'm pregnant'' i'd still be pissed right off that i was lied to...
she didn't have to say anything at all...
err...
well, but the good side is that your gonna be an auntie, yay, congrats to you and your sister and brother in law with the baby and all that, i'm sure you can't wait to spoil that thing ;)

Ya know I wasn't so mad abouther lying to me as I was about hte actually lie itself, if that makes sense. She had me so worried that they weren't gonna be able to have kids! I hope she grows up and gets over that type of behavior in the next 7 1/2 months!

Hey soccermom. I went back to read the other one first. First of all, I don't think you are a jerk for thinking that she was realizing what karma is. Also, I think it's a little crappy of her to lie like that and make you feel all bad for her. I know she is your sister and you will get over it but still, why even say anything at all? Maybe she was trying to build up excitment for when she did let the cat out of the bag. Does she like alot of attention? Anyway, Congratulations on being an aunt.

jchamp, thank you for actually paying attention to why I may be so upset about her "lie". Yeah, she does like a lot of attention, always has, always will. SHe is the baby in our family and my parents have always doted on her so she expects the attention. Fine by me, then I don't have to deal with it. Still I'm excited for her, and I wish she didn't live two hours away so I could see the baby more once it's born.

Well I have to admit I think I would have been peeved to and I would have told them straight out
I mean you are the Sister so why could they not tell you even if the Baby would not have been ok at least you could have been there for her

Oh that is so WONDERFUL I am overjoyed for your sister, although I can understand that she might want to keep it from people in case she miscarried but unsure why she kept it from her sister, perhaps she just didn't want to let you down again saying she was not pregnant knowing that you would be upset too.

i think she doesn't mean to lie to you... she just want to be 100% sure that she is really pregnant and everything is OK before she tells you the news... i will do the same thing as well... i don't want to go around telling people that i am pregnant until i am very very sure... otherwise it will be very shameful for me if actually i am not pregnant and i have told so many people about it...

I am glad this is a happy occasion, and my comment on the deception is that some people thrive on drama. Cysts can be rather problematical, so it is fortunate that she has been able to get pregnant. I missed the other discussion, so I will have to go to find it, so I feel well informed. Hugs and congrats on the niece/nephew.

I think it's great that she is pregnant but I think you have every right to be irritated and plain out ticked for doing what she did. There was no reason to lie like that. Even if she didn't want you to know she was pregnant yet it's not like you would have known unless she told you. At 6 weeks she's not showing and unless you are living together you would have had no clue that she was pregnant. I think she was out of line to dump that BS sob story on you. There was no reason for it.
Congrats on becoming an aunt. I am happy on that for you.

That is really sh*tty of her to lie about it!! She could have just said something like they didn't know anything yet or whatever!! I wouldn't make up some big old story just so people wouldn't know something like that, I can understand waiting though..we did that with my son. Comgrats on being an aunt...and hopefully she will stop the lying =)

Oh how horrid, congrats on finding out your going to be an aunt. I bet your a little worried about the sort of parent your sister will be I guess I would be. Its horrible to find out that youve been lied to and especially by a family member. To make you worry and be concerned is a shocking thing to do, I hope you gave her what for. Sorry Im not sure if I caught your other discussions.

Well i guess the element of surprise really caught you. Do you know of the saying that "To fool your enemies you need to learn to fool your friends first." Maybe there is a more deep reason why she did not tell you the truth in the first place. The best thing you could do is be happy for the fact she does not have a cysts and you are to ba an aunt.

She still does have cysts. The problem was that she told us last September she was pregnant and she wasn't, she had gotten a false positive, then there were fertility issues because she had to have an ovary removed, and then about two weeks ago she called and said they thought the other one would have to be removed too! So here I had all these crappy thoughts about karma, and not being able to concieve because she had an abortion 10 years ago. Long story, I'm happy she's pregnant, I just don't know why she couldn't be honest to begin with.

it's her decision to tell or not to tell somebody in the very first moment. she was a little mean to make you think something else and to worry.i hope both her and the child will be ok.

To be honest, I wouldn't let a little white lie such as this get in the way of your excitement about being an aunt. I think we all have our reasons to keep things from others for a while at times. Maybe she just wanted to be sure that everything was confirmed before telling everyone.
I know women who waited till they were 12 weeks or more before going around telling their family and friends. They said they did it because they wanted to make sure the risk of miscarrying was minimized before telling everyone and allowing themselves to get excited.
Just be thankful that she came clean, and now you can all share in the excitement of a new baby together.

Well congrats to your sister! But I'm a bit confused by what you wrote. "she does have cysts, she just gave me the huge BS story to cover their tracks so to speak."
So does she or doesn't she have cysts? Sorry, my curiosity has got the better of me yet again! :P LOL

Soccermom, While I can understand that you are upset about the way your sister worried you before giving you the glorious news of her impending child.....
You will make a wonderful aunt, my friend.
Please try to find it in your heart to forgive her....she will need you when that stork delivers the baby that begins her journey onto motherhood and magically turns you into an aunt!!!

Congrats on being an aunt.
Don't be peeved, I can understand where she is coming from. I was through my first trimester before I started telling people.
I hope all goes well for her with her pregnancy.
Your avatar makes me laugh.... thanks.
