Hi all. I'm lucky enough to be 12 weeks pregnant and ready to start announcing the news. But a very close friend of mine, I am sorry to say, has had four miscarriages - two nearly killed her and she is facing the possibility of a hysterectomy. Obviously I need to tell her but how can I do it as sensitively as possible? I thought I might text her while she is at home (we work together), so she doesn't feel she has to act all happy for me and can react with her husband however she wants, and say something like, "Hi darling, it's me, I have some news. I'm so sorry for the terrible timing, but I am 12 weeks pregnant. Now you know, we don't need to discuss it further. As ever, I'm always here when you need me. xxx"
I think if I were in her situation, that's probably how I'd prefer it to be done. Although I have never miscarried, I had a little difficulty conceiving and this was how I preferred to be told when someone was expecting.
What do you think?
