I wasn't sure where I should post this. I decided to go with CC because many times we have discussed the issue of women's fertility, loss of a pregnancy, and how we view other women, and this question kind of goes along with that genre. However if this is the wrong place, I'm perfectly fine with this thread being moved or deleted.

Anyway I am currently 13 weeks pregnant and I was thinking about making my pregnancy public next week on Facebook. The thing is I am friends with a girl I know from jr. High and we were pregnant at the same time (she was 2 weeks ahead of me) but she suffered a miscarriage at 8 weeks. This is her 9th miscarriage and to top it off, she has a bunch of family and work issues going on as well. I know how painful and hurtful it can be to loose a pregnancy and then have to see a bunch of announcements on Facebook from other people, I was in that boat for the past year and a half. I thought about posting it and just blocking her from that post, but I feel like that's rude and cowardly. I just don't want to trigger her or cause her any undue stress by making my announcement, but I do want to let my friends and family that are out of reach know that I am expecting. So I'm asking for advice as to how to go about this. I honestly don't know.
