Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone can give me some advice. A good friend of mine became pregnant recently and then discovered that it was an ectopic pregnancy. She had to have her fallopian tube removed. This is obviously a very distressing situation but I think what makes it worse is that she has struggled with fertility issues and is now very worried about being able to get pregnant again.
My friend has recently moved to Australia now. My dilemma is that I am now pregnant and having now had my 12 week scan where thankfully all was well I am in the process of telling people. I was wondering how I might let my friend know about my pregnancy in the most sensitive way. I was considering sending an email but felt that might be a bit too impersonal and perhaps a bit cowardly of me... But am concerned that if I ring her and tell her I might really put her on the spot and she would feel dreadful but obliged to tell me how happy she is for me [which I'm sure she will be but I imagine she will also feel sad remembering the unhappy outcome of her recent pregnancy]...
Any advice would be much appreciated on how I might be most supportive to my friend in conveying my news. Thank-you.
