Telling a friend

I just found out I am pregnant. I have a friend who has called me crying when her other friends have gotten pregnant because she desperately wants a baby and unfortunately isn't yet in a position to have one.

Does anyone know a way to tell her while also being sensitive to her feelings? I don't want to make her sad or upset, but I know that if I conveniently don't tell her it will make it worse.

  • First of all, Congrats!! :-)

    If I was in your situation, I would wait until finishing my first tri and then I would just say  "oh, by the way, I'm pregnant" and I wouldn't talk about it much unless she asks about it. Some people may blast me for saying that but I am in a situation like that with another topic and I just down play things... I feel it just makes both parties feel a bit more comfortable. At the end of the day, the last thing anyone would want to do is to be super excited about sharing news with someone that really doesn't care to hear it.
