Re: Good news, but it makes me nervous
Some good thoughts from everyone. I think I agree to take it slowly and maintain your rapport as someone she can talk about her pregnancy and baby with. Is she planning on breastfeeding? If so, when it comes up maybe you could start by focusing your support in getting her *good* information and resources in that area. For me, breastfeeding was sort of my entree into the world of AP and gentle parenting. It's one of the first practical areas of mothering that she'll have to deal with. I also like the idea of giving her the Sears Pregnancy Book (or sharing yours---that might be more non-threatening) and then perhaps giving her the parenting one later.
