Telling family advice, after sister-in-law's sister has just lost her baby

Hey all, looking for some advice. In two weeks I’m flying to the states to surprise my family with our pregnancy. My sister-in-law just found out that her sister has had a stillbirth at 39 weeks. We’re all very close. Would you recommend telling my sister in law before arriving? I’m worried about how fresh that loss will be when we arrive.

If you handle it sensitively though, everything will be fine. Yes I’d tell her, giving her a heads up. They will all still be excited and happy for you. I never felt upset about anyone else being pregnant- it’s a miracle and something very special. It’s just bad timing isn’t it.
congrats by the way!xxx
