She's absolutely gutted and I don't know what to say. I am happy to sit and listen and let her do the talking, but just wondering if there are any wise words out there I could use when I see her tomorrow??

Many thanks
DHW

pruni, i'm only 7 and a half weeks, so very early days - but she was very caring to me in November/December when I went through my stillbirth.

DH I have had 11 IVF attempts and two pregnancies and one gorgeous little boy (10th attempt). Its all hard but don't put off telling her you are pregnant if you would ordinarily tell her now. The worst thing for me was people hiding Pregnancies from me or worse telling me on the phone because they couldn't face me, convinced that i would break down or something. Yes we get upset but its not your baby she's after, she just wants to be preganant. When you do tell, don't be surprised if she doesn't want to see or speak to you for a while - its just hard for her. You have just got to be there and listen IVF is difficult for everyone.
