Dear Abby: Excited Expectant Mother Hesitant to Share News with Infertility Group
Abigail Van Buren, known as Jeanne Phillips, recently discovered she is pregnant despite being told she was unlikely to have children due to chronic illnesses. She and her boyfriend, both in their 30s, are thrilled about the pregnancy. However, Van Buren is hesitant to share the news widely due to the potential emotional impact on friends who have struggled with infertility.
She suggests that rather than making a large public announcement, it may be more considerate to share the news privately with a few close friends. Van Buren emphasizes that while sensitivity is important, those who are experiencing joy should not feel guilty about their happiness.
