mobile: facebook when you go to L&D
We will not be updating our status when we head to L&D. I have many friends that have..including one that got sent home for false labor. Besides that fear of not truly being in labor, its a time I want to cherish with family...not hundreds of fb friends. After we have LO and tell our families, we will make an announcement then.
What are you planning on?

"If you're still my small babe
or you're all the way grown,
my promise to you
is you're never alone.
You are my angel, my darling,
my star...and my love will find you,
wherever you are."
That sounds like a nightmare.

Like a lot of you have said, DH and I are not going to post on FB until LO is here and we are settled.
eta: We are also going to ask anyone who does know we are in the hospital (family and really close friends) not to post anything to FB as that is our news to share and not theirs.
In the past, me make a "welcome baby" post a day or two after baby arrives. But that is all.
I do not really want people to know when I am in labor. I learned with my first that family just drives me and DH crazy; you constantly get texts, emails, and calls asking for updates. So the second time and this time we will tell our parents and his siblings. That is all until after baby girl arrives.

I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929

Who would honestly want a play by play of labor? No thanks.
I won't post anything until a day or two after and only family and close friends will know via text or email. Plus, I will make sure DH adds a no posting on FB rule until we do.
It was a nightmare mixed in with a whole lot of WTF. It was nice of people to care but I don't understand how hospitals became nightclubs and people just show up whenever. The people that showed up were randos from college and HS that we had not seen, let alone talked to, in a long time and they acted like it was completely normal to show up.

This for us as well. Privacy is really important to me, plus I think I definitely have one or two people who would push their way into the hospital before I was ready to see anyone.
This. I want to spend that time being truly present with my husband and concentrating on having my baby but, I don't get on Facebook much anyway.
Oh wow that's crazy. I would not want that! We didn't have FB when we had DS so I wasn't worried. We will not be posting either until we get home
All of this. Luckily my family has been really understanding about the social media free pregnancy and are respectful of me taking the lead on posting any info.
Love the Juno reference.
We're sending out a group text to a certain set of people to let them know when we've been admitted and another text will go out once LO is here. But FB doesn't need to know that soon.
