    This can be a very potent situation during birth... perhaps a good discussion with her is required, to see how she feels... letting her know she hasn't let you down if she can't and so she doesn't feel like you are tip-toeing around her. Its difficult to say as everyone deals with it differently, but I do know you are very close to the birth and often it takes more than a few weeks to come to terms with things. But we are all different...

    I am sorry for your SIL's loss .. you have a compassionate heart to be thinking of her .

    Maybe have a read through some of the poems in miscarriage and loss and send her one in a card , explaining as others said she won't be letting you down if she need time to grieve and/or find something to acknowledge her bub... A special keepsake. She might be okay as Kelly said ...

    It will a difficult time for everyone ... being excited for you and your new arrival and not knowing what to say to her
