Just be a friend. It's not your problem, it's hers. However she chooses to deal with it, go along with that rather than imposing your own agenda or making assumptions.

what do u mean about imposing my own agenda and making assumptions ?

Just that. You want to have a baby for her. You are devastated for her. I think you believe that being pregnant is going to be awkward. It's not about you, it's about her....

im fully aware that its about her , of course i feel devastated for her what friend wouldnt ?

i dont feel that being pregnant will be akward as this is my second and she has been having problems since i had my 1st it is only now that she has found out that she cant concieve naturally
