Acceptable to tell friends via message?

[erised]

I had my first scan today and all is good so now want to start telling people. We have some close friends that we don't see very often, maybe once every couple of months? 2 of these are my husbands best friends, is it acceptable to tell them via a nice message or should it be in person?

It's your pregnancy, you can tell everyone however you like. IME people have told family face to face (or via phone where distance is an issue), close friends either face to face or via a message, and everyone else via a social media announcement.

Remember, there is nobody who "deserves" news of your pregnancy other that you and your partner, so don't get too worked up about who finds out how. Your baby, your choice.

Oh, and, congratulations :) x

We were going for drinks at Christmas and I had been planning on just refusing wine and saying then but then some other friends who had had a miscarriage the previous Christmas were coming too so didn’t want to make a thing of it at all and did it by message beforehand.

Maybe worth thinking about the situations of your friends.

Congratulations!

One of the couples has had a miscarriage in the past actually (a few years ago now), so maybe shouldn't shove it in their faces?

I sent a photo of my scan photo with a guess what I have news x
