If you are pregnant and you have a friend with fertility problems, the moment to tell her about it can be complicated because you don't want to hurt her. So here are some tips you can follow:
- Find a quiet, relaxed place and tell her the news in private.
- Omit details such as the fact that you have been looking for pregnancy for a short time and avoid giving any advice unless you are asked for it.
- Show understanding, ask her to help you know how to act so as not to make her uncomfortable and remind her that you will not be angry if she does not attend, for example, the baby shower.
Expressing that you know that receiving this news is hard for her will help your friend not to feel bad about the mixed feelings she is about to experience.
