My sister was adopted out as a baby. We found each other in 2007 and have remained very close, for the most part ever since.
Her mother is terminally ill with cancer right now and is not doing well at all. My sister is trying to remain hopeful and keep her faith strong, which I can understand but she is doing 90% of the work when it comes to her mother. She does things doctors should be doing and gets very little sleep in the meantime.
She is on call 24/7 and has NO time for herself. (She lives in a flat with her husband above her parents)
Lately she has been talking to me about having a baby. Her and her husband have been trying for a couple years with no success. She went to the doctor and is getting it all sorted out...but the thing is...I REALLY don't think it is a good time for her to have a baby right now. I can't imagine being pregnant and running on a couple hours sleep every night, running up and down a large flight of steps looking after her ill mother. With the stress of her mother being so sick, it can't be good for a baby.
Her diet is very, very poor because she doesn't even have time to prepare decent meals anymore. Also not good for pregnancy.
She keeps talking to me about having a baby and I just sort of smile and nod but I think its horrible timing to try, yet I don't have the heart to tell her because she wants a baby so badly. Should I try to find the words to tell her? Or just let her be?
