When to announce on facebook - Page 2

deafgal · Apr 9th, 2012, 17:26 PM

I posted a link from babycenter to show how many weeks I am and baby development. And just announced that way.

I don't have facebook but even if I did I wouldn't put it on there. I only told family and really close friends as I don't feel it's anyone else's business, plus most people I know would be really bitchy and judgmental about it!

I never announced it really, I just didn't hide it. I'd talk about it, but not say "the child that I am now pregnant with, that I am having with "x"" lol. The people who knew understood what I meant, and eventually people caught on by the time I was around 24 weeks.

I'm 30 weeks pregnant and I haven't even announced it, lol. I was originally going to wait till I was after 12 weeks, then it was 20 weeks... then I came to the conclusion that I don't need to. The majority of the people in my facebook know and the people that have to know, know. It's no one else's business.

I didn't get to announce mine thanks to my (now ex) best friend..
I wanted to put up the pictures of my 12 week scan

i announced my pregnancy on facebook but not by a scan picture, i wrote a status about it

i did it when i had told all my close family and friends and when i was over 12 weeks

obviously i received messages like "oh my gosh have you been fraped?!" haha when clearly i wasn't

whenever you think you're ready to tell everyone is when you should do it, don't feel pressured into HAVING to do it if you don't want to

I didn't really announce it, I just posted the baby gaga app where it shows how far gone you are and says a little about baby's development

That way people could just figure it out themselves. I did that a few days after I found out at 8 weeks, I would have liked to wait until I'm 12 weeks but I couldn't

My mum did post a status about it though saying congratulations to my daughter etc and everyone seemed to find out from that haha.

It's up to you how you want to announce it or if you want to at all, I know I'm still not sure if I'll be posting scan pictures or anything similar as I think it's my business and not the whole of my facebook friends as I hardly even know some of them. I am thinking of deleting everyone I don't know and only keeping close friends and family, that way I can post whatever I like without having to worry.

i posted kaiden's first ultrasound pic when i was 5 weeks...super early but i was super excited!

I've not uploaded anything about my pregnancy, or any pictures on facebook. I just tell the people who I want to know and if other's find out in some way then so be it but I have friends on FB who are also friends with my Ex and other friends who have been causing problems so i am just avoiding it all together.
