I have just found out im pregnant (unplanned) but we are completely over the moon. The thing is, one of my best friends has been trying for a baby for so long unsuccessfully. And i have no idea how to tell her about my news as i dont want to upset her. How should i tell her?

Don't hide it and don't let her find out from anyone else. Be upfront and make sure you tell her in person. She may be completely over the moon or she may need some time to come to terms with it but if you make sure you are the one to tell her, I'm sure she'll appreciate it.
I have been in your situation twice with the same person. First time round she needed space and barely spoke to me for weeks the 2nd time round about a month after which I gave up and couldn't do it anymore!! Lots of ups and downs throughout the friendship which I won't go into on here, all I can say is be open and honest (I was exactly that in my situation) with her and don't let anyone else tell her before you do! I wish you all the best and hope you have a better outcome than I did.
Definitely tell her your self, I have had to do this twice.
The first time I just said to her that I know that it might upset you but I'm having a baby, I understand if you don't want to know any of the details but just tell me what you want to know. My friend said that it did upset her a little but she was happy for us and wanted to know everything anyway. 2nd time she knew we were trying so was not a surprise.
Just be honest and be prepared to give her space
Congratulations :)
