    Make sure you have plenty of hot sweet tea (good for the shock).
    Science adjusts its views based on what's observed.
    Faith is the denial of observation, so that belief can be preserved.

    good luck, from personal experience (on the receiving end of the bad news) don't be surprised if she flat out refuses to believe you at first.

    Good luck. For what it's worth I think you are doing the right thing. It's not an easy task but the longer you waited the more time her douche of a husband has to prepare and he is obviously preparing to attack you rather than come clean.

    Offer to support her in anyway you can and maybe check online for the phone number of her maternity hospital, so you have it to hand if she has a physical reaction.

    And maybe make up the spare bed, if you have one.

    What a terrible situation to be in.

    Good luck with the conversation with your friend later on. You are doing the right thing, even though it may not 'feel right' over the next few days.

    Good luck. I feel so very sorry for your friend. I hope you will both be okay.

    Either make up the spare bed or make sure she doesn't drive herself home or back to her mums.
    The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own, no apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.
