This has happened 4 times to me (have been ttc for 17 months) - have heard in different ways with all of them - the best was in person on our own. The worst was in a group at dinner when she just told everyone.
In person, but not a big champagne announcement in front of a group of people. That happened to me recently, and as I'd only miscarried just two weeks before, someone else's pregnancy was the last thing I felt like celebrating (even though I was very happy for the couple).
I have to say that personally I'd prefer to be told by phone. Iwas TTC for a year and in that time I was told by phone, in person and by text. I found being told in person the worst but that's just how I felt.
Phone. It gives the other person a chance to go and have a good cry (if they need to) without having to handle a social situation / wait for you to leave. It's how we did things with DH's sister, and she said later that she appreciated that.
Email. I had a mc at the end of March. Last week one of my good friends emailed me to tell me she was pregnant. I saw her a few days later in person, but like CaptainKarvol - I appreciated receiving the news in private so I could have a good cry and prepare myself emotionally to see her & congratulate her.
