My sister was pregnant at 20 weeks with her 3rd child, and I am also pregnant. There was only a day difference between our babies. I am having a tough time because I would like to see her but don't want it to be tough for her to see me pregnant, as she just lost her baby- because she was bleeding severily and needed to have the emergency sergurery, which then caused her to have to deliver the baby. I feel such pain for her and don't know what I can do and would like to take her something when I go see her but I don't know of a gift that would be good to take to someone in this sort of situation. Could you please help me with ideas of something that I could take her.
Also it has been really tough because the baby was born alive, and lived for 45 minutes, and my sister didn't get to meet her. They didn't save her because she wasn't strong enough.



Answer
I wouldn't give her a gift. Gifts are for celebrations, even though this would be kindly meant. If someone gave me a gift at such a moment, I think that I would be confused and at a loss on what to say.

I think that honest communication is always best. I would call your sister and ask if you can come to see her. I would say just what you told us - that you are hesitating because you are afraid that it will be hard for her, but that you want to show your love. Let her know that it's okay to say "no".

If she's recovering from surgery, I would also offer practical help such as doing shopping for her, run errands, watching other kids, etc.

My sister in law in having a c-section today.It was not planned.I would like to get her something that she may need in the hospital or shortly after?I have already given a baby gift but want to bring something just fir her. Any ideas?Thanks in advance :)


Answer
You could put together a little bag or basket for her of some nice little things for her durring her recovery.

She will be told to take it easy for a week or two after the surgery, so you could get her a good book, or some magazines if shes into celeb gossip, some nice smelling lotions, maybe a nice candle, and a couple of her favorite snack things - like a little box of cookies or cupcakes from a bakery etc.

Just some little things that are for HER - to help relax and pass some time :)

Im due tomorrow with a baby boy - our first - and I would love if someone brought me a little package like this to the hospital :)
