Disgusting myself....
One afternoon at work our manager gathered us together to inform us of some bad news. R's wife who hd been about 8 weeks pregnant had lost their baby. I thought I said it in my head 'has she checked the back of their sofa'. Apparently not. No-one was angry just dissapointed.

8 weeks is far to early to tell.
I'm sure some anti-abortionists would disagree but I wouldn't even call a couple of months "pregnant" in the sense that a baby is to be expected.

I'm rolling my eyes so hard at this.

So you'd have women tell everyone that they're pregnant at two months?
You don't think that, perhaps, delaying the announcement would avoid almost everyone she knows telling her how sorry they are -- apart from the people who, a year or so later, ask her how her kid is?
Roll your eyes all you fucking want but I'd not wish the anguish I could see on a woman's face when been asked about her dead child on anyone. Apologies if "Don't count your chickens" sounds incredibly callous, but when my nephew dies I don't want all manner of uninvolved people pestering my family about how he is, for example.
Edit: I possibly misread your post?
