    Thank you for all the replies it's really good to hear from people with experience. I guess the book I read which advised an email was suggesting that this would give the friend/couple private time to digest the news by themselves. However I would hope that we were close enough friends that she would be able to cry in front of me, god knows I've seen her in some sorry states!!

    Maybe I will pop in after work one day for a cuppa to give her the news!

    HB and I always agreed that when we fell pregnant we would wait the 12 weeks, I'm bursting at the seams now to tell now but hubby won't budge and certainly he wants our parents to be the first we tell, which kind of makes it difficult as they live the other side of the world so we have to hope to catch them at a convenient time!!

    I cant add anything that hasnt already been said, just want you to know youre not alone, a friend of mine has been ttc#2 for 2 years now, shes had 2 mc and one if them was ectopic and she ended up having her left tube removed. We officially start ttc this month and all 3 of my pg i have fallen first month, now im dreading that im going to have to tell her if we fall pg again quickly and she still hasnt. She is the most amazing person and i know she will be over the moon for us but i know, even though she'd never tell me, itll upset her. Weve put off ttc for personal reasons the last few months and ive been praying it happens for them before us, is that totally selfish? her and her dh are amazing and they deserve all the good things in life and its heart breaking that it isnt happening for them
