1st Trimester
My dad just outed me on Facebook. I'm so pissed!
So i understand that he is excited to be a grandpa again, but i specifically told him that we weren't going to tell anyone other than siblings and parents about the pregnancy until after the first trimester and he goes and puts an update on his facebook page about being a grandpa again. Now everyone is going to find out. Just great! Way to go dad! I am so pissed at him!

Re: My dad just outed me on Facebook. I'm so pissed!
My thoughts exactly.
I am sorry. That seems to happen to a lot of people.
My Mom sent out a relative wide e-mail letting everyone know I was pregnant at 9 weeks. She didn't even tell me that sent it though. I realized once all my cousins started congratulating me on FB though. We had to hurry up and call all of our friends so they wouldn't find out on-line.
I'm not mad at my Mom though. Her baby (me) is having a baby and man is she a talker!
I've been so afraid of this! My mom isn't on FB but i have aunts and cousins and a little brother who are, and some friends who know, so I have to be very, very careful to tell everyone i tell to NOT EVER MENTION IT EVARRR around anyone else.
So far i've been lucky with that, except I'm "out" at one of my spiritual forums, and this SB i went and visited a friend from there and she took pictures. In the album comments someone from the board was like "Pregnancy looks so amazing on you, Ameya!! Look at you glow!!" etc, which is sweet, but i FLIPPED, because i was trying to keep it from my sorority sisters specifically, and you can imagine how fb-addicted they all are.
Luckily my friend let me know that album was private from anyone except her friends (and our mutual friends all know from the boards) so it was okay. She deleted them anyway though to give me peace of mind. I do check my wall messages and stuff extra quickly, though, just in case someone hinted a little too obviously.

Someone on here, I think Shananah (who is now off to 2nd tri) said she had disabled wall posts on her profile until she was announcing to everyone. I followed suit myself.
FX things go okay I will call friends and let them know when I am back from vacation (15 weeks) and then I was hoping to post an ultrasound pic when I got it (prob 18 weeks) to 'announce' to everyone else on Facebook.
Hate to be 'selfish' but it really is our (DH and I) news and I am already tired of others that I have asked not to tell people until we are out of 1st tri telling people. Specifically my MIL. Who is luckily not on Facebook.
*Cute that your dad is so excited!
I am so mad on your behalf.
If my dad did that, he would seriously pay. When the baby gets here, I'd probably call him a day later or something. LOL
Seriously though, I think it's so rude to share this kind of news for someone else. It's your annoucement to make!!

Funny, My mom did this a few days ago, but I caught it and asked her to remove it. I also deleted her as a friend. I have friends I work with on FB, and I am not telling work until I am further along. I mean, we haven't had out first doctor's visit yet. I hope no one sees- that's the last thing I need.
I was extremely angry- I know she didn't understand, but I was mad (doubly so because I was also tired and feeling pg).
