Stylist’s columnist Billie Bhatia on how to handle a friend’s pregnancy announcement when you’re dealing with fertility heartache. 

“My best friend has just announced her pregnancy – it was a ‘happy accident’ as she’s only been with her partner for a few months. I’m delighted for her but can’t help feeling sad too – my husband and I have been trying for nearly two years and are starting to think about IVF. I’m worried this will come between our friendship. Any advice on how I can handle this?”
