My sister is pregnant, can trauma affect her pregnancy?

[Parnate]

My elder sister is pregnant, this is the first month I think.
I was okayish for last few weeks but lately I am suicidal again. I want to ctb but I am afraid if the trauma caused by my death will affect her pregnancy?
she has had issues conceiving, she had to take medicine for that.

Yes it can cause miscarriages

Complications could arise, depending on how she takes the news, the things she does in her shocked state could hurt herself and the baby. My sis was also pregnant, I was told not to do anything stupid and cause trouble for her, to everyone's relief she just had the baby this week.

My wife was pregnant and miscarried when her mum died (she was 12 weeks pregnant at the time).

Am sorry for your loss

Is there a timeframe during pregnancy when the pregnancy is immune to trauma , loss of loved one etc?
I mean if I ctb later on let's say six months later ?

I guess loss of loved one can hurt you at any point of your life. And even if it won't cause a miscarriage, it can end up with postpartum depression. But if she wasn't pregnant it can still happen. You never know how you'll affect others and that's awful but no one would blame you if you died in an accident or from cancer or anything, right?? It's the same if you have problems with depression or other serious illnesses/disorders. You didn't ask to feel like that! So I believe you shouldn't worry too much about the others… There's never the right time

It's hard to balance other people's needs vs ours.

You show you are kind and considered by asking the question.

Suicide will always be tragic and painful, so there really never is a perfect time.

I think deep down you know the answer to your question.

Good luck in whatever you decide.

My sister will get married, i don't wanna break her heart or traumatize her as well. I appreciate your concerns.

Best wishes.

Trauma can cause issues period. Even if it doesn't affect her pregnancy it'll affect her life and in turn her child's. I can't tell you what to do nor do I know your family, but I'd put it off for as long as possible and use what you know to minimize the damage I guess.

Not what you want to hear Id imagine. I'm sorry, there's no easy way around such a situation.
