Its been nearly a month since I found out I was pregnant with my 3rd child. I had my first midwife appointment today and I have a scan booked for next Wednesday to find out exactly how far along I am because we have absolutely no idea still. Me and my partner (different dad to my first 2 children) are absolutely ecstatic and so excited but Im so scared about telling my best friend. Since I had my daughter weve always said shes next because her and her husband have been trying for a baby for 8 years and have just started the IVF process and start all the meds for it next month. Me and my partner have been together nearly a year so not that long. Ive spoke to her about us wanting a baby together in time and she said you best wait til Ive had a baby first youve had 2 now its my turn which I completely understand. When we found out that in time actually turned into oh crap Im already pregnant it suddenly hit me that Im going to have to break the news to my best friend. Im not one of those people that will do an announcement and let her just find out that way I want to tell her personally before I announce to other friends because to me she is family and I know its going to be a very sensitive subject to bring up. But Im absolutely dreading HOW Im going to bring it up. We speak a lot anyway (we live 4 hours away from each other so call often) but last time we spoke she told me she got a message off her brother in law telling her that they were pregnant and she said shes glad he didnt ring because she would of ended up awkward and a bit of a mess until she got her head around it. I feel so bad just messaging it her but Id hate to tell her and upset her on the phone. I really dont know what to do. I plan on telling her next Thursday after my scan Wednesday because shes off work on a Thursday Id hate for her to be upset while shes trying to concentrate at work. Does any of you ladies have any ideas how I can approach this touchy subject with her?
