I've just found out that my best friend is having a baby. Any advice on how to handle the situation?

1. Start by expressing your feelings and reactions in an open, honest way.
2. Reach out to your friend and let them know you're there for them.
3. Be supportive and listen without judgement.
4. Let them know they can talk to you about anything.
5. Offer practical help such as taking care of their pets or offering childcare services.
6. Show up at important moments like the birth or other milestone events.
