Sisters pregnant at the same time

greendogs1993 · December 2015

My sister found out she is due August 26th and I'm due the 14th. I am very excited to share this with her but I'm also tentative about competition. Has anyone ever shared a pregnancy with a sibling? Anything go terribly wrong or right?

With my dd, I was pregnant at the same time as both of my sisters. They were spaced farther (they are 7m & 2m older than dd). It was fun and it's nice having all our girls be close in age.

That's so exciting!

My sister just lost her baby girl at 31 weeks on September 28th. She has the ok to start trying again and I'm praying that it happens fast and we can be pregnant together. My sister and I aren't competitive with each other so that won't be an issue.
Me and my bff were pregnant together when I was pregnant with ds. We were due 10 days apart. It was fun to have someone to commiserate with when no one else wanted to hear it.

My sister in law and I were pregnant at the same time, but she was due 4 months before me. It was good to have someone to go through it with but it's even better now that our sons are so close in age. It's so awesome that at family dinners, etc, we can bathe the kids together and function on a similar schedule, since none of my friends really get it. We are both pregnant again and due about 3 weeks apart and I couldn't be happier!

My first pregnancy AND this pregnancy were both with my sister. It is awesome! The first, hers was an accident and I was PISSED because she was a teen mom, so all the attention went to her. But this time we are basically due the same day and I know how rewarding it is to have cousins so close in age, so I am SO happy.

I'm envious of everyone's positive stories! My SIL and I had our boys 3 months apart. The already existing family dynamics have led to a lot of tension; grandparents and other family members are constantly comparing our kids to each other and making comments about their development, who has a better personality, etc. I doubt it would be like this if things weren't already strained...I would love to be pregnant at the same time as my own sister.

My sister was pregnant with her second while I was pregnant with my first. They are exactly 3 months apart. There wasn't any real competition except for her giving birth a day or two before my shower. LOL. Didn't bother me though. My SIL is pregnant and due in June. She made a joke about me being glad shes not the jealous type for stealing her thunder. Eye roll. But whatever. In the end, it turns out really fun.

I'm 5 weeks behind my sister in law.

***tw: loss mentioned***

My older sister is due June 6th, and with my last pregnancy I was due May 1st. We live in separate states but were so excited to share in this pregnancy (both pregnant with 1 baby, my sister has 1.5 yr old bg twins).

I lost my baby at 9 weeks, and it really strained our relationship, more on her end than mine since she didn't know what to say to me.

Now my due date for this baby is August 6th, exactly two months after her! And she's moving back by me hopefully in the Spring!! We can't wait to have cousins so close in age. I really hope this baby is sticky so my sister and I can stay close and not have such a strain again.

Our family already compares my 1 year old and her 3 year old all the time. Plus my sister LOVES drama and attention so I hope she won't be too threatened by sharing a pregnancy with me.

One sis had a July baby. My other sis had an august baby. And mine was a december baby. She's almost 3 and they are all best friends. I absolutely love it. Couldn't ask for a better set up. But we aren't competitive just supportive and our family never compares the children in negative terms at all. That so mean that some do that when every child is different and special.

DragonMom2 · December 2015

Me and my half sis were due with our first on the same day. December 4. But she had hers on the day because of preeclampsia and emergency c section. I had DS on the 10th, we don't really ever talk though.

My MIL and both of her SILs were pregnant with their first babies at the same time. There are a lot of really cute pictures and a few videos of them growing up together.

My sister is due w/ #2 in June

******tw******

I lost my 1st with DH 12/22/14 our son was stillborn at 22w6d (had previous mc in '05) I'm a little disappointed that I have to share the spotlight not only with my sis but also my bro in laws wife is due in May and my cousin in July so since we are due in August I feel like we will be overshadowed by all the new babies in the 3 months preceding us. Selfish I know but I wanted my own turn and all 3 of them have previous children where they were the only ones due that year in the family so all the attention was on them. Just feeling like I got robbed of that with our loss.

Not yet but it's a very real possibility. My older sister has struggled with unexplained infertility for the past few years. She started IVF in November and they froze three healthy embryos for implantation in December. She's been super secretive the past few weeks though and won't tell anyone when they're going to implant or anything. My mom thinks it happened a few weeks ago when my sister took a day off of work and wouldn't say why. I have a hunch she's going to do a cute Christmas reveal. It's something I'll have to be very sensitive about because of her past issues.

My sister and I are only a year and a half apart and we have always been super competitive. It's died down in the past few years because we took such different paths in life, but I'm hoping this doesn't reignite those old problems. We live several states away from one another (she lives in Michigan where my mom is, I'm in Nebraska) so that should help keep it from getting too bad. I would love to be pregnant at the same time as her-- not only because I would love to experience this with her, but because she really deserves this. After almost 3 years of trying I kind of expect our family to be more excited for her baby than for mine and I'm definitely okay with that!!

That's so exciting!

My sister is 36 weeks pregnant. And I'm 6 weeks pregnant. We are so excited.

The only thing I would say is that it might be good to suggest she join a mommy community different than yours. Sometimes you just want to be honest about family, life, feelings etc and dont want to have someone you know IRL over your shoulder. That being said I've been pregnant along with my sister and multiple sil's and it worked out wonderfully! But was glad to have my j13 board all to myself! ;-)

My sister in law and I were pregnant together last year with my son. It was nice to have someone else who understood!

ZedPM3 · December 2015

I wish! My sister is still single with very little interest in dating/settling down. I do have a close coworker who will be starting TTC in less than a month, so I'm hoping she gets pregnant quickly so that we can be pregnant together. We'll see!

Sabrina000216 · December 2015

My sister is due in May (I miscarried and we weRe orginally due on the same day in May). We are excited to have our kids close together!

ReadyForaB · December 2015

My sister is almost 6 years younger than me so although it's possible, it's unlikely. However me and my bff who I've known since preschool are about three weeks apart! I'm so ecstatic about this!

greendogs1993 · December 2015

The drama has already started. I made the mistake of telling my sister before my family and now she is trying to control when I tell my family. We were planning to tell them at Christmas dinner with a little gift for the grandparents. She has now manipulated everyone to spending breakfast together so that I will tell them sooner. I'm sorry but what gives her the right to try to control this part of my pregnancy?
