Pregnant and telling friends TTC?

I hope this doesn't seem insensitive. We are pregnant with #2 and have two couple we are good friends with that are struggling to conceive, how do I diplomatically tell them? I feel bad as we have our son and now pregnant with #2 in the time they have been TTC

Thanks babycrazy. I was hoping someone in my friend's position would reply. Good luck with your TTC journey, I hope it is successful really soon

Yea, you've been given good advice. Tell them as soon as you can - but make sure they've got space to be sad, because even though they'll be happy for you, they'll be sad for themselves.

Share the news full stop. Keep it to the bare minimum. If they want to hear more they will ask.

Sorry I was just answering your original question of "How do I diplomatically tell them?" I mean when you tell them, simply tell them, don't go into lots of excited detail. If they want to know more they will ask you.

100% agree. When we were struggling to conceive, we had friends in the exact same boat as you, and they told us they were pregnant with the second on a day we'd received yet more bad news about why things weren't happening for us. It took all my effort not to burst into tears and feign happiness; because whilst I was happy for them, it's a stark reminder of your own difficult journey.

So by text or emailing them would be okay? In order to give them time to digest it? Rather than face to face where they might think they have to feign happiness for me?

I've been in the situation of friends choosing not to tell me because I guess they're worried about my response. True, but I'd much rather be told personally. It was horrible to find out through friends, husband etc. I would be really happy if a friend said 'I'm really sorry that having a baby has been so hard for you. I know it is really hard but I wanted to tell you before you hear from someone else that I'm pregnant'. Leave it at that and see what response you get - if they ask, answer but don't ramble or change the subject. Thats what I would want anyway (and it hasn't happened about 6 times since we have been TTC after mc).
Good luck :)

Congratulations!

Definitely just tell them. I found/find it easier to find out by email/txt but just don't tell them last or keep putting it off though, as they may find out through someone else first. Someone did that to me and it hurt my feelings even more.

Good luck, they will probably be a bit upset at first, its not at you, just their own situation.

Just spit it out Mrs B You're torturing yourself over potentially torturing your friends - it's good of you to care so much, but you can't change their situation or your own. Your baby is something to celebrate, and hopefully they will feel the same way. Announce it in a way you feel comfortable with (if you would tell most of your friends by text or FB, then go ahead that way, otherwise face to face) and that will help your friends feel more comfortable with it. I heard a *lot* of pregnancy announcements in the 5 years we were trying to have Cuinn, and I promise the only one I cried over was when I was told the person was pregnant and that my friend had died in an accident in back-to-back sentences - and the tears were for my friend Facebook/email/text seems a good way to get the news out regardless - that way you can say you're doing it that way so that no one gets their knickers in a twist about not knowing at the same time as everyone else
