A friend of mine and dp is is unable to have kids, she's had many many miscarriages due to scaring of her uterus, and I'm not sure when and how to tell her. I'm 14+5 and my belly is surprisingly obvious so I need to tell her soon before it's too noticable but it's all a bit complicated.
She's dps ex, they split amicably and remained close friends and she and I have become good friends too.
She is also currently in hospital due to mental health issues, partly due to her infertility and about a week ago her boyfriend left her, after struggling with her mental health problems for a while.
So I don't know what to do, she tried for ages to have a baby with dp and it never happened. I don't know if this would make her more likely to get very upset about this. I think if I leave it too long she may hear from other people or notice my tummy, I'd rather she knew from me and dp. I also think it might be better to tell her while she's in hospital as she will have support around her, rather than waiting until she comes out.
So what would you do?
