Telling a friend who’s struggling with fertility that I’m pregnant

I had to do this, and I messaged her privately and said I understood what she's going through, etc, and understood if she needed time to process the news. I wouldn't do it face to face but message her privately. My friend told me I couldn't have done it better and was happy for me in the end ❤️ hope it goes well for you x

Thank you that’s helpful 🩷

I was in this situation. I messaged my friend separately so she had time to take in the information, respond when she was ready and wasn’t put in an awkward situation. She said she was thankful and appreciated that I knew reading the message would be exceptionally hard for her.

I went through fertility issues and luckily had my miracle baby, through IVF last year. Definitely text separately. One of my friends called me to tell me as she didn't want me to just hear about it but as happy as i was for her, i was so so sad and that's a really difficult conversation to navigate over the phone, i just wanted to burst into tears. It's hard to explain the pain of watching everyone around you have something that you want more than anything, but don't know if you ever will 🥺🩷 congratulations x

I had this exact same situation I told her via text and separately to anyone else, I said: I do have some news to tell you as well, As one of my best friends and soul sisters I wanted to tell you and for you to be one of the firsts, I am pregnant, I went for an early scan and all is looking well, I don't want to make it dramatic but thought I would message you first and I also didn't want to rub it in as I know your struggles 💜 but you mean the world to me, I also want you to be involved as much as you like or as little as you like, I want to respect you and our amazing friendship, You are the best most beautiful person I know and I love you friend 💜 xxx She responded really well and was very happy for me and I was so grateful xx
