tough situation... how do i handle this?

So my Sister has been trying off and on to get pregnant for IDK 3 or 4 years unsuccessfully due to endomitrosis (spelling). She had surgery for it a years ago and will have another for it in the next few weeks.

A little over a year ago DH and I had our DD without really even trying to get pg. Now we are going to start trying for baby 2 soon and I am almost worried we will get pg easily.?

Now my sister and I are not close but I still want to make sure I don't do anything that would make this harder for her than it already is. How can I include her without rubbing it in her face unintentionally.

TIA

    Um.  Include her with what, exactly?

    Don't run up to her yelling "nanny nanny boo boo, I'm totally preggers!", and hopefully she'll be okay with it, since you're blood and all.

    What are you including her in?

    If you end up pregnant- tell her over the phone or email and don't be a douche about it the entire time you're pregnant.

    That's pretty much all you can do.

    Put yourself in her shoes...how would you want to hear the news? and how would you want your sister to act towards you if she was the one that was pg? 

    Figure that out, and then act that way.

    Don't tell her you got pregnant easily.  Don't tell her you're TTC.  Just don't go down that road.  If you get pregnant, tell her privately and not at a big family event and not around the holidays.  That's about it.

    This.  Let her take the lead when/if you get pregnant. If she asks you pregnancy related stuff - then answer her. But don't bring it up 24/7 if no one is asking.

    This! I had a friend find out she was KU the same day I had a MC. She waited 3 weeks and then told me in a room full of women who knew I had a MC...NOT cool!

    Thanks for the advice. When I was pg the 1st time I just didn't say much about how my pregnancy was going when on the phone or around her and after my DD was born I guess she asked ?my stepmom why I never told her anything. I guess I'm just trying to find the thin line to walk before I actually have to walk it.?
