Nan only has weeks to live - do I tell her I'm pregnant?

Hey everyone,

My nan only has weeks to live, and I want to share my news with her so badly. But I'm so scared it will upset her and make her sad if I do - but I know I will regret it of I don't. I'm only about 8 weeks, and I get to see her in her home for the first time since May.

The baby is due the week around her birthday. And it's my first and would be her first great grandchild. 

I don't know what to do!

    hello sparklebabs,

                                the natural order of things is to leave a small piece of yourself within successive generations,so absolutely l would say yes,the joy would overcome the sadness.

        l am sorry that you are faced with this choice,and l hope both you and your new baby will carry on safely in life and make your grandmotherthe proud lady l feel sure you will be,

                                                                                                                               best wishes,

                                                                                                                                                     David
