Hi ladies! I was hoping I could get your collective insights on something this group probably has lots of experience with- telling your friends with infertility issues about a pregnancy.
It feels so weird for me to be in this position because for the last 4 years I feel like I have been that "friend." Every time a friend or family announced a pregnancy, I felt that sting. Of course, with a little time I was always happy for them. But it always hurt because it seemed that it was always so easy for everyone else. (For instance, 6 of my 7 best friends are currently pregnant and due within the next few months).
But now I am 11 weeks pregnant through DE and am coming up on the time when I will start telling people. I have a few friends in particular (who have been trying without success for a few years) and it breaks my heart to think of hurting them with this news. Part of me wants to share the DE aspect with them....but I don't really want to. I just think hearing that would make them feel less sad and maybe more hopeful?
I don't know. Any advice on the best way to share this news would be appreciated! Thanks!
