I’m not ready to officially announce that I’m pregnant but when I do I have a friend who I fear will not take the news well. She knows my husband and I have been trying for over four years but she suffered a mc in January of this year that resulted in a year long bout of depression, self harm, suicide attempts, and hospitalizations. She’s suffered from mental health issues for a long time and was recently diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. She has gotten better but even the smallest thing can still send her over the edge some days and I really don’t want to be the cause of it but I also don’t want to hide the fact that I’m pregnant when my husband and I are so excited and overjoyed.

Any advice on how to share the news?

Also, I have also had a miscarriage and know that even if you are happy for the person it still stings to hear about it.
