    Personally I would be horrified to get that information by email or text. It's going to hurt whichever way you do it, but for me, I would feel that you had taken the cheats way to make it easier for yourself. Even though clearly you are being the most wonderful friend and actually thinking about her! Good on you!

    I would prefer it face to face by myself with an acknowledgement that it will be hard, but with you being okay with tears if they come.
    So if my friend organized a lunch or dinner somewhere private and says, "I know this might be really hard for you and I am sorry, I wanted to tel you in person and will totally understand if it hurts and if you cry. I know you really will he happy for me. I am pregnant."

    I would love and appreciate the honesty and respect that came with that.

    Ps congratulations! I hope the rest of your pregnancy goes smoothly x
