How long should you wait to announce your pregnancy after your close friend has a baby.

Whenever you want. Don't base your life off someone else's. The week we annouced our last pregnancy (ended in a missed miscarriage shortly after) we also found out that 5 of our closest friends, and 2 family members were also pregnant. It was a little ironic but I didn't think anyone's "shine" was dulled in the process. 

Why does her having had just had a baby matter? Announce it whenever you want, you don't need her permission or approval & if she makes you feel like you do then sorry to tell you, she's not really your friend. 

Personally I would wait a week or two before I did, just to be respectful of my friend's special moment. 

My sister in law had her baby she already knew we were pregnant and was totally encouraging us to tell everyone but for me I didn't want the focus to shift so we waited a good week or two after our niece was born to let everyone know we are expecting as well :) 

It bothers me when people think your stealing someone's spot light. A life is a life. Her child's life isn't more important than yours so why should you put it off? Why can't everyone just be happy? Like.. EVERY pregnancy is beautiful n anyone who can't see that is selfish.

Well how far along are you? Most people wait until after 12 weeks
