I don't know whether to go or not.

I said in a previous post that my youngest sister about to have a baby and she had her baby earlier today and I don't know if I can handle being around a newborn so soon. She asked if I was coming to the hospital to see her, but I don't know what to tell her. She doesn't really understand why I'm so upset over the BM changing her mind, so I'm not sure if she will be sensitive to how I feel or not.

If you can't handle it right now, it's OK. If you wake up sometime this week and are feeling in a better place, maybe use that opportunity to see your sister and her baby.

It is okay if you cannot handle it right now. Like Dr. Loretta said - if you feel better about it later this week, then go. If not, maybe a quick phone call might be the way to go - a congrats and I love you call. Nothing long or drawn out.

You need to do what is right for you.

Honestly I would go see the baby.  Bring a gift, say how cute the baby is, and then head home.  Not only will it be good for your sister but you can get it over with instead of dreading it and dealing with the feelings of guilt over not meeting your niece.  It is going to be hard whether you go today or on Thursday.  This might be just my personality speaking, but something to consider.  I'm really sorry this is so hard for you.  ((hugs))

If you are close with your sister, she will at some point understand whatever decision you make, but I would probably go and meet my niece.  You unfortunately will not be able to avoid them forever.  (((Hugs)))

Could you perhaps go at a time when the baby will be in the nursery and just see your sister? You can go, give your love and support, and still perhaps leave with your emotions in check. 

I know some hospitals where this would be possible (can get to the rooms without passing the nursery) and some where it wouldn't be possible. Just an idea.

 Or could you send a gift/letter with someone else? That way she knows you're thinking of her and the new baby.

Do whatever is best for you. 

If you need an excuse tell your sister that you have a cold and don't want the baby to catch it.
