Pregnancy news isn’t always a happy announcement, especially when it’s unexpected. One woman found herself in that exact spot and begged her sister to keep it quiet from their traditional parents until she was ready to talk.

Her sister agreed and spent the next two months covering for her. But as their mom grew more suspicious and kept pushing for answers, the pressure of lying started to wear her down. Eventually, she slipped and all but confirmed the pregnancy.

Now the family is in chaos, her sister feels betrayed, and she’s wondering if she was wrong for letting the secret come out. Read the full story below.

    If you want to keep a secret, you either tell everyone so nobody bothers speaking about it, or you tell nobody. Don't put a secret like this on people, it's not fair.

    If you can't trust your sister, who can you trust?

    You're both adults, if she wasn't comfortable yet, you lie to your mother. It wasn't your secret to tell or insinuate or let loose in any manner. Why is she allergic to lying to her mother? No one was going to die if the secret didn't get out, you keep the secret.

    The pregnant one had *two months* to say something, OP was asked about it by her mom like, twice a week during that time... something was going to break at some point. The pregnant sister should have moved faster.
