Im going to visit my family for my 11 year old sisters birthday party. I want to tell my family then that im pregnant.

I was going to give my parents a card with a sonogram it and then the rest of the family will know. But they will be suspicious on why im giving them a card too on my sisters bday.

So I was thinking after I give my sister her gifts...I was then going to plan on saying "wait one more card"and have her open the card and its a aunt card and have her read it. But was wondering whats ur guy's ideas are. I would have a card for my parents as well. I just want the best way to tell them and the most creative. This is going to be there 1st grand child. Ideas!!!! Thanks

I like the idea of giving the card to your parents..

You can wait until your sister opens all of hers then say something to the effect of having one more card but to your parents because they deserve recognition for being great parents???

You could give her an Auntie cup as one of her birthday presents. Then share the sonogram with your folks and whoever. Love Laura's idea too if you want to tell your parents first.

A lot of people Celebrate the mother of the birthday child - after all, it was quite a day for her, too! You can give a card to your mother, framing it with "and because this day is a celebration of your hard work, too, I have a card for you!"

I think it's great that your far enough along to share the news but I don't think I would do it at your sisters party. Let her enjoy her day. Once you announce the pregnancy all the attention will shift to you. You will have 31 more weeks to spill the Beans, however this party is in celebration of her and I think it's important that she is the sole focus of the day.

You could give them pink and blue carnations or bags with pink and blue m&m's in them when you give them the cards.

I like the idea of giving your sister an aunts card and the sonogram. While she's opening the card, hand one to your parents. If she's confused, ask your parents to open their card too. So exciting to share your big news! Congrats to you and happy birthday to your sister!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
