    Definitely tell her... you never know.. she might need a bit of joy and happiness at the moment!!!! Plus, might make her want to try and conceive even quicker so you guys can go through the pregnancy journey together... get on the phone!!!

    Of course she will feel happy for you, but she may feel a little sad for herself at the same time.

    I suggest two things (having had two miscarriages) 1. Don't tell her at the time when you reach the week she was in when she lost. If she lost at 12 weeks and you are 12 weeks now, seeing you may be a little hard at the moment. 2. If you think she is quite upset, it might be a good idea to tell her via email, or letter which is more personal, so that she can have her little cry before she calls you to express her joy in your news.

    My sister in law fell pregnant just after I miscarried and she called to tell me, it was all I could do to hold off the tears til the end of the conversation even though I am OVER THE MOON about her little bundle. One of my friends is pregnant now and she and I fell at the same time (with my second loss). It was hardest to see her when she got to the stage where I had lost my first. She couldn't understand why I didn't want to hang out with her that week - but knowing there was a baby growing inside her at exactle the same stage mine was when he died was tough.
