How to tell people who have experienced loss?

Advice

We're planning to tell our families that we're pregnant tomorrow! I'm wondering how we should go about telling my brother and sister-in-law. They had a miscarriage a couple years ago when they weren't trying to get pregnant, and then had a miscarriage earlier this year when they were trying. I believe they are still trying to get pregnant.

I'm wondering if I should text her today and give her a heads-up so they're not stuck having to pretend to be happy for us in front of others. My husband thinks it'll be okay and says they'll be happy for us (which I know they will be!), but I feel like I'd rather be safe and tell them.

Would love some insight into what you would do!
