Take a couple deep breaths. Remember what you planned to say, and try not to improvise since it can make you feel more nervous. Take your time with getting the words out; you don't have to rush it. Tell him that you value him as a friend and don't want to lose that.

Be honest. If you think he/she feels something more than friendship to you, honestly acknowledge your feelings. Make sure to be alone with him/her and prepare yourself for all possible outcomes. Warn him/her to be honest too, and that you don't want to destroy your friendship, but you think you fell in love.

You can say 'Congratulations' - your friend has, after all, successfully undergone labour and childbirth! Or you could just say something like, 'I'm so happy for you!' You can ask for the child's name and it should be clear whether the baby is a boy or a girl!
