Hi All
My SIL had a mc at 10 weeks (baby didn't grow past first few weeks) back at Christmas. Myself and OH had always hoped to have another baby this year, but having experience of mc myself I know the news may come as a bit of a blow to her.
Wondering if anyone had any advice on how to go about telling her? She and our nephew live 6 hours away so telling her in person is out of the question.
My initial gut feeling was to send it in a nicely worded message rather than ring with the news so she doesn't feel she has to respond straight away? We are planning on telling her on Saturday after our scan Friday, and will be telling other family and close friends the following day.
Do you think a message is a good idea or would ringing be best?
Any advice would be much appreciated!
