How do you tell a friend who is desperate for babies and recently suffered a miscarriage that you're pregnant? *********************************************************** 10-21-03, 09:54 AM MrsS Gently....and with great care....something along the lines of..."I hardly know how to tell you this right now, but I did not want you to hear it from someone else, I am pregnant.....I know how hard this probably is for you to hear and I am sorry that my news came so close on the heels of your misfortune"
You are an angel for not being so caught up in your happiness that you lose sight of how it might feel to your friend....and, congratulations....I wish you a happy, healthy pregnancy and a happier, healthier baby! *********************************************************** 10-21-03, 11:13 AM Sherasi Cris, S gave you great advice.
The only thing I'd add is not proceed along the pregnancy gushing about the baby and how you are feeling.. in other words be matter of fact around her about it. If she asks how you are doing, just state how you are and be quietly happy.
You can be enthused and and gush all you like to everyone else!! Big Grin *********************************************************** 10-21-03, 02:40 PM honilov I believe your friend will be happy for you, especially after she sees that you are concerned about her feelings. I'm sorry about your friend's miscarriage.
Congratulations on your pregnancy. Smile *********************************************************** 10-21-03, 06:02 PM puppyblues I'm sorry about your friend, Cris. Frown
But I'm very happy for you. Smile *********************************************************** 10-22-03, 07:56 AM kittypal I agree with all the other advice, if she is a good friend then she should be happy for you too.
CONGRATULATIONS to you, keep us up on how you are. Missed you here!!! Smile *********************************************************** 10-22-03, 09:48 PM samantha I am so happy to hear about your baby cris and as was said im sorry to hear about your friends loss. *********************************************************** 10-23-03, 10:29 AM aminator2002 Congrats Cris! Your friend might find the good news a comfort.
Goodluck Smile *********************************************************** 10-26-03, 02:10 PM MommyTimesTwo I agree with the previous advice.
My mom found out three days before the funeral of a good friend's son that she was pregnant. My mom told her at the funeral and her friend was happy. Devastated that she lost her son, of course, but happy because it gave her something to be happy and excited about. And showed her life goes on.
But that may not be true for everyone. The best course of action is gentle and tactful. Good luck and congratulations.
