    Hi all, My Sister(we are very close) just had her first baby, and I can't help feeling so jealous to the point that I have been angry and snapping the head off everyone for the last couple of days. I cannot have children which is killing my as I at the age now where everyone around me is giving birth and I would love to have a baby of my own, although no-one in my family knows this yet and I feel so envoius and jealous of her I don't know what to do. She got out of hospital yesterday and I couldnt bring myself to visit her. I am meant to be going over today and tbh I really don't want to even though my sister is already wondering why I have not seen the baby yet.

    I was the first person she told when she got pregrant and I was so happy for her and enjoyed hearing all the pregrancy news, but now that the baby is here my feeling towards both of them are all over the place.

    Is this a normal way to feel? will it go away, as I love my sister dearly and don't want this to hurt our relationship:(

    It's totally understandable that you feel this way. I think that unfortunately you might just have to try and be brave about it. You're sister has just given birth so maybe don't tell her right now, but tell someone. Preferably someone who's going to be around while you're at your sister's. Someone who can give you a bit of support. Once your sister's in the swing of things with the baby, sit her down and let her know. It's a delicate situation. You really should tell her because it's important with respect to you, but if you don't wait a while it could cast a shadow on something that's important with respect to her. In the meantime make sure you bring someone who can support you, and try to remember that you're doing it for someone you love.
