Help: I am PG but my friend has just miscarried

One of my dearest friends has just lost a much-wanted baby at 6 weeks.

I am 12 weeks PG and I don't think she'd want to hear from me. Plus, she will hear my toddler in the background if I call her now.

I don't want her to feel like I am avoiding her so I just wanted some advice on what was the best way to contact her. Should I send her a letter or leave it for her to call me?

Thanks

That's so sad for her, you are a great friend to be so sensitive. Can you text or email, saying that you're thinking of her and you're only a call away?

Agree with what Biscuit says. I was in much the same situation as you, except I was a lot mroe pregnant and it was her second MC.
I texted her and said how I had no idea what to say, but that I was there if she needed me. We exchanged random texts for weeks until she felt like meeting up. I also left a box on her doorstep one day when she was feeling particuarly bad with bics, a book and some bath stuff.

She did tell me a few months later how much that (the contact) meant to her as a lot of our mutual friends didn't contact her as 'they didn't want to upset her' and she said she felt deserted by them.

Obviously this involves different people but thought that might help.
