Announcing Your Pregnancy on Facebook

[Spiket77]

Hi Ladies,

I was wondering how everyone feels about announcing your pregnancy on facebook/twitter? I'm 15 weeks and into my 2nd Trimester. I don't really feel like there are any issues with telling folks at this point. My hang up is that facebook seems like a weird venue for a pregnancy announcement? Maybe I'm reading too much into it. My close family is bugging me to say something. It's kind of annoying. I have heard some people say it is tacky to say something on facebook but then for some it's just fun.

The second part of this question is if you did share it on facebook...what did you say or do?

I saw one status that I thought was cute and applicable to us because we have  a remodeling company...
"Adding on two feet to our house on ____Due Date_____"

I didnt have a facebook when i got pregnant, so i had to do it the old fashion way! but when I did end up getting a facebook, i was prolly like 4 months along. and all the way through my full 9 months like 7 times a day or more(cause i wasnt working) i posted something about my pregnancy, so everyone was always informed!!! actually the day i went into labor i had posted something saying i had horrible back pains and blah blah blah, and i had an entire list of comments from people telling me that I was in labor and to get to the hospital. and sure enough i was...

I dont think its tacky at all.. its a good idea!!!! just try and think of something unique to say... or just post a pic or something i dont know, im not that creative. lol

I was trying to decide if I should or not, until friends started sending me congrats notes, lol. So when I made it past the first trimester, I posted my u/s pics.

I dont think its too soon. I announced it on fb by saying, "first comes love, then comes marriage....." I did it once all my family knew. Congrats!

I've had a few friends that just posted pictures of their sonograms (which cause all of us girls to go completely gaga) and a few just said "Expecting # --- " One said guess who's preggers again! lol
