Re: I need your Advise Ladies ...
you just tell her ........honestly, I think it would be worse if she found out from someone else .......then, not only are you PG before her (which is not your fault) but then it's kind of adding salt to the wound like you were afraid to tell her ........KWIM?

Re: I need your Advise Ladies ...
You just tell her... as you said she's a very good friend of yours and she will be happy for you. I was in the same situation and was hesitant to tell a very close friend I was pregnant b/c I know she's having some difficulty. She was thrilled for me. I really only mentioned it the once and now when I speak with her I just make sure to talk about her or anything besides me being pregnant. She'll ask me how I'm feeling and other things, but I answer and then change the subject... talk about going out, other friends, vacation, etc.
She will be happy for you and I'm sure a little sad for herself, but there's nothing you can do. Better she hear it from you then someone else.

I don't think she will be upset with you...she is your good friend, she will be happy for you....
You could probably tell her the good news, but maybe tone down the excitement w/her a bit just to be more sensitive...but I'm sure she will be happy for you because she's your friend

Re: I need your Advise Ladies ...
call her in the evening and tell her....that way you have a chance to talk, as opposed to at work

Re: I need your Advise Ladies ...
Sorry to lurk but as a person ttc for a while I would def agree with calling her on the phone. She may not want to talk about if but at least when she hangs up she can cry and react to the news at home instead of at work.
My SIL called me before Xmas to tell me they were making the announcement. It was HORRIBLE and I cried but I wasnt' mad at her.. she will be upset but just b/c she's not preggers..not b/c you are..
Congrats and good luck!!

ITA. And I would definitely call her, that way she doesn't have to put on a show for you all day. She can absorb the news and be sad if she wants and then be okay with you at work.
