She has been trying to get pregnant for 3 years, I know that she will be happy for me, but I don't want to upset her or unconciously rub it in.

Be honest and open. I would do it face to face, though. Tell her that you have something to tell her, and you don't and truly hope it doesn't upset her, and then let her know that you're pregnant. Be positive about it, like telling her now when she gets pregnant your children will grow up together, include her on the anything that she feels she wants to do - listen to you about morning sickness, being tired, feeling movement, things like that.

I know exactly what you're going through my best friend has been trying for almost three years to. When I found out I was pregnant I had a hard time trying to decide how to tell her so that it wouldn't hurt her feelings. So I finally just went to her house and told her i was pregnant and she was so happy for me. It might be hard for your friend but if she's a true friend she'll understand that you deserve happiness and a family to. My best advice would be to tell her face to face. You should at least give her that much don't email her or call her make it more personal. Hope this helps. and good luck!

Let her know that you know how hard its been for her but that you would like to share some special news with her, and then be there for her and listen if she is upset. Im sure she will not show how upset she is to you, but as your pregnancy progresses i would try not to rub it in her face. Thats so hard to do..since being pregnant becomes your whole world. Hopefully she will be a true friend and be happy for you :) GL

Take her out for a coffee/dinner/day at a spa...something anyway, and tell her gently. You do NOT want her finding out from someone else. Please do not be surprised if she cries, or has a difficult time being excited for you at first. For some people, its not easy to be around pregnant people. However, since she is your best friend, I think she will come around, and will be able to share in your excitement.
Congratulations and good luck to you!
PS...don't use e-mail to tell her. That would just be a slap in the face, like you don't trust her enough to share this news personally. It'd be like her finding out from someone else, making a difficult situation even more difficult.

Just tell her, best friends wouldn't get mad or upset over a thing like that, you probably wanted a baby you deserve it! Tell her and if she doesent go along with it well then she isn't a very good friend, just don't rub it in and just support her :)

best advice i could give is tell her the good news then give her time to react. after that just make sure that you being pregnant doesn't become the center of your conversations from then on. Shes your best friend so of course she'll be happy for you, but if all you talk about from then on is being pregnant then she might become hurt and resentful.

Call her out and tell her face-to-face about the wonderful news. Sure, she may be hurt and possibly a teeny bit jealous, but I'm sure you've been very supportive to her as well. And it'll be better if you break the news to her first, instead of her finding out later elsewhere.

I'm not totally sure, for I have never been in that situation. The one thing I would want if I was the other girl is for you to tell me in a casual, non celebrating way. Let her emotions guide you

I think just tell her. I wouldn't act like your afraid to cause her to be upset because that may cause her to be upset. Just act normal about it. If you act scared or don't tell her. She will be upset.
