Would you be weirded out if your DH/SO posted a FB status in excitement about you losing your mucus plug? For those who don't have FB, would an announcement to friends and familyeven acquaintancesabout your mucus plug and how "that means it's any day now" be weird to you?
I just don't know if I would laugh at his excitement or kill him for relaying such personal information. Now that I think about it, DH saw my plug come out in the hospital and I think I would choke him out if he posted about it. It was quite disgusting.
Yes, the FB status happened IRL. Heaven help the person who doesn't know what a plug is and decides to google it. So, is it weird? How would you handle it?
Re: FB statuses and mucus plugs
I would NEVER post something like that. There are some that you just shouldn't share and mucus plugs is one of them!!! I mean it's different on a site like this, but on FB??! I couldn't imagine....
Wow!
In a word... Yes. Absolutely. 100% weirded out.
IDK how I'd handle it. I'd probably ask him to take it down. Sheeeeesh.
Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!
Funny you say that. When I read it, I initially thought false information and then I realized that the guy just posted about his wife's mucus plug and I immediately got grossed out.
Ditto. One of DH's friends tagged me in a post saying he was going to bed I'd go into labor during halftime of the Super Bowl, at which point I was like "Let's not discuss when my uterus will do what, and also I'm probably not notifying anyone but my husband when I go into labor." Then, some FREAKING STRANGER (to me at least) makes a crack about having an announcer do a play-by-play of the birth, including a reference to how dilated I was. At which point I told said stranger that he was gross and if people don't stop talking about my cervix I'm deactivating my account. (Actually considering do that anyway, at least until after LO is born.)
Granted, I'm really protective of my privacy with this because DH's parents spent the past 7 years putting an incredibly inappropriate amount of pressure on us to have kids before we were ready (well, any pressure is inappropriate, but the way they completely disregarded what we wanted and what was best for us made me feel like all they saw when they looked at me was a grandbaby incubator, and quite frankly that hurt my feelings - at one point I was in hysterical tears, convinced that they'd hate me forever and tell DH to divorce me if it turned out I wasn't able to have kids), so now that it's finally happening I'm admittedly a bit over-sensitive about it, and just kind of want everyone to butt the hell out if they didn't help to make the baby or will be helping to deliver the baby.
Doesn't help that I am an extreme introvert - I'm great at pretending to be social, but it takes soooo much out of me, even online, so I really don't like the attention in general, even when people aren't talking about my cervix on Facebook... I'm getting worried that pretty soon I'm going to lose control of the verbal filter and say something that may be honest and true, but also unnecessarily mean.

I'd let him. I would not post it as my status but I would let him. I think it's sweet he is so excited!!!
I can easily see this point of view. I mean lots of parts of pregnancy are generally fairly gross, but we're having babies, and it's not like there should be any shame involved!
