My sister has not been able to conceive for years. She’s a few years older than me but now my husband and I want to try to have a baby. I’m not sure if I have problems like her but I will feel so guilty for being the younger sister having a baby first. I don’t want to trigger her or upset her because I can’t imagine how hard that must be. How do I go about this without hurting her feelings?

My sister didn't have a child til age 48. My child is 30 and her child is 3. Pray for her and live your life free

Your sister will always feel kind of sad whenever someone has a child, not just you. Your empathy is good but your reasoning is somewhat illogical.
If your sister comes to know that she is the one holding you back from having a child, it would double her sadness. What’s more, it may affect your marriage if your husband wants a child.
Have your child; your sister can be the child’s aunt. At the very least, she can fuss over a nephew or niece.

They can adopt.
They can try foster kids.
You live your life.
You are not being disrespectful by living your life.
She will be disrespectful if she thinks you should
alter your life and dreams to suit her.

You can't put your life on hold because of your sister's difficulties. Maybe talk to her about all the alternatives to natural conception that are now available through fertility treatment.
