Social Media?

[schenner2]

How many of you have or will post pregnancy annoucements/ gender of baby on facebook or other social media sites?  Tomorrow we have an ultrasound which will hopefully be able to determine the gender of our 2nd baby. I will be 20 weeks.  I have not posted anything about being pregnant however, my close friends and family know.  My hubby wants to post a picture of the ultrasound tomorrow after we have told our immediate family.  I am not sure how i feel about it.  My privacy settings are set high and i do post pictures of my 2 year old however, for some reason i have reservations about posting a pregnancy annoucement this pregnancy. I do know 2 people who have had miscarriages in the past few months and maybe that is why i am hesitant?  Anyone have any thoughts on social media and prego annoucements? Just looking for some idea of what peoples thoughts are.  Fyi i am an infrequent poster! Mostly pictures every couple weeks for my relatives who dont live near me.

Talk with your spouse see what your both comfortable with. I'm not big with posting on Facebook and my husband is but with our kids where more selective but with this pregnancy we planned on waiting to Post anything and his aunt posted it for us so that caused serious friction because it wasn't her place when we found out its a girl we did post it and when I found out my not so liked father in law (for many justified reasons) had copied it and reposted the picture after that my husband and I have decided not to post anything else but that is a very personal decision good luck

I posted it on my fb, I had my 20 week u/s last week. I didn't totally want to but it's exciting. I have friends who had miscarriages and i feel for them but this is about you.

I am  an infrequent fb poster as well. However I did just  post  my announcement at 23 weeks. I only  did it  because  I will have to  ask for  family and friends  address  soon for the baby shower and thought it would be  weird  if I  had  I'm pregnant  and  need your  address  for the  baby shower all in one conversation.

Ugh. I refuse to have facebook & my husband is already talking about putting photos on there as soon as she's out! I'm not at all cool with it. He hated waiting til the second trimester to announce to everyone we were expecting & the day after we found out baby is a girl, everyone knew. I'm more of a private person & there are very few family members out of state so we see everyone pretty regularly. I asked him to please wait a day but he gets all defensive & says he's just proud & wants to show her off which is sweet but still...

I don't have social media but my husband does.. He just put a pic of us announcing the pregnancy. Am 37 weeks and he wants to put pic up right after our son is born but am against it... So will see

I uploaded mine.. and in august just gone I lost our baby due to early labour at 23weeks. The first thing I did was put it on fb Obvs after giving our self's time. For me it's was the easiest way of only having to say once and not having to face anyone and just get on with my grieving.to be honest the support i had was unreal. I really hope you have an amazing pregnancy that's just from the other side yano. I'm now pregnant again and when I have my 12 week scan I will post another picture. I'm more aware now that a life begins before he/she is born and fingers crossed nothing happens but if it did i don't want this baby to be a secret. I want everyone to know how loved he/she is right from the beginning and is important from the very first week. Don't mean to sound depressing but if the worst happens(fingers crossed) it's a good feeling for so much support and awareness x
