Feeling guilty about due date.

My husband's (we're separated and have been through out the pregnancy) brother died yesterday in his sleep. I am supposed to be induce Wednesday the 16th due to medical reason. I feel so guilty to have him so close to losing a family member like this. Advice or comments??? Should I wait until next week and the medical reasons do not affect the baby.

If you can push it back and it not cause any harm to you or the baby, I think it would be best to just give your husband and his family a little bit of time! Good luck and best wishes.. And I'm sorry for your loss!

I'm sure they wouldn't resent him at all.i would think he'd be a welcomed blessing to bring smiles to everyone faces during this sad time.but ultimately the decision is yours,if you feel you want to wait and it's safe for baby and you then do so but I think baby making his entrance would be a good thing for you and your family:)I'm sorry for your loss:(good luck and God bless❤

Thank you. He was very young he was 24 with 3 kids and a baby girl on the way. I just don't want his family to resent Luke for being born so close to the loss. I think I just over think things.

I think if you want ro wait, and it causes no harm to your baby, you do what youd like, but this baby may also be ALOT of help in getting him through a rough patch, which I'm sorry for your loss.... he sounds pretty young to have died in his sleep :(I hope god can comfort the family at such a time ♡ but this wasnt your intention.  You didnt kill anyone. its not cruel, or a bad choice, and nothing anyone should regret if you'd like to be induced then I say go for it. its nice to have something so beautiful after such a loss. ♡ god bless (:
