So, to keep it short.
DH and I have a long standing friendship with another couple. They have been trying to conceive unsuccessfully for some time, with much heartbreak. They're out of NHS IVF chances, and they've been told they probably won't be able to adopt due to the wife having various health issues. They have been trying to continue with IVF privately, but it's been financially very difficult for them.
For a while, the wife has been talking to me a lot, mostly because she sees us as being in the same boat - because I've got a history of MH issues I'm unlikely to be able to adopt, and conception has been slow for me, plus DH and I started trying quite late - 37 when we started trying, and I had 2 miscarriages in the first year.
I'm now 19 weeks pregnant. We've had all the scans. Everything looks fine. We probably want to announce it soon but I'm really worried she'll take it badly. How the hell do I tell her in the least unreasonable way possible?
