[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Email with expression of understanding that this will be hard news to hear...[/quote] I wouldn't do the second part. It will maker her feel bad not only about pregnancy but about what you think about her as a person. You mean well and apparently some people like this approach, but it's patronizing. I would hate to get such an email; it would make me fell like crap. The truth is, it is the fact of pregnancy that is disappointing and there is now way around it. If you celebrate excessively she will be bothered; if you say it was accidental and you thought about abortion she would be bothered even more. And all that while being aware that she should not be bothered but rather happy for you. The best way in my opinion is to give her heads up (which is what you are doing) and also, do it in an email, so that she has time to respond in the way that she considers appropriate.[/quote]
