I am 25 married and having my first baby! So excited no one knows yet only my younger sister who I'm very close to who is 18 I told her right when I missed my period she knew we were trying for a few months and a few weeks later she tells me she is also pregnant -_- I couldn't help but be upset...

I am 25 married and having my first baby! So excited no one knows yet only my younger sister who I'm very close to who is 18 I told her right when I missed my period she knew we were trying for a few months and a few weeks later she tells me she is also pregnant -_- I couldn't help but be upset because she ruined her life she's not in a stable relationship and the man she is with is 15yrs older then she is he is her 1st and only relationship. I also feel mad because how dare she take this away from me I don't want to share this time with anyone. I can't help but feel she has done this on purpose to either be closer to me or she just wants my life. She has always copied everything I do I get it she looks up to her big sis but am I being selfish I feel like she's stealing my thunder now everything will be all about her and her baby because she doesn't have her life together so people will feel sorry for her I hate to feel like this but I am so mad! Has anyone been in this situation? And am I being unreasonable for being mad that were 1 month apart?

    Your sister's life will definitely be harder with a baby at 18, but I don't think she ruined her life. And I think it's silly to expect a full 9 months without anyone close to you getting pregnant, especially since it doesn't sound like she did this on purpose.

    Be the bigger person and be supportive of her. No one is going to love or care about you and your baby any less because your sister is having a baby as well.

    On a positive note, both myself, my sister, and my brother all have cousins born within a few months of us and for me in particular, I had an instant best friend from birth, and at 27 we're still close... close enough that she's the MOH in my wedding.

    It seems unreasonable to be mad. It's not "your time," it's having a baby. You're not a princess, you're a mom-to-be.

    Having a sister with a baby the same age as your own will be a huge advantage. You'll be able to trade off babysitting and baby-care stuff and tips, and your kids will grow up almost like siblings, while still having some distance. My younger sisters all had their kids around the same time and the cousins are very close.
