Facebook TMI..

daniellejeanne35

I'm not a huge fan of a lot of personal info on Facebook. I didn't really even want to post my U/S pic, but family members insisted on seeing it.

There are just too many people on facebook (older family members/high school friends/guys/exboyfriends/etc.) with whom I don't care to share information. 

It disturbs me when I see "[name] is having contractions and is 3 cm dialated!" as a facebook status. Do you really think people care that much about your vag? Posting that you're in labor is one thing...but your cervix? TMI!!!!!!

Opinions??

I personally don't think it's TMI but I am the girl that rubs random ladies bellies

Seems like a perfectly normal way to update those that care about you and where you are with the delivery.  I'm sure I'll do it.

LOL! Yeah I agree.. people get too personal on FB...a little too personal.

I personally don't get down of facebook or myspace. If they have it, they can post whatever they want... Maybe someone's aunt/mom/brother/sister... is on it and would like to know the progress of that person's vag.  When my sil's have gone into labor I've always been told what they are dialated and I have never thought, TMI. 

Don't read if you don't to know it... imo

If you dont care to share information with (older family members/high school friends/guys/exboyfriends/etc.) then delete them!  I don't have a problem with denying friend requests from people I don't care to share information with.

On the other hand, I don't think I'd put details about CM dialted...but that's just me.

I don't see an issue with it. Then again, there's not much that I consider TMI, especially when it comes to pregnancy. That's just an easy way to keep everyone updated.

Way too much information on FB- I dont post BUT I do lurke and read what others are posting all the time!

We have brothers, sisters and close friends who live in other states and we keep each other updated with FB statuses. I'm sure when it comes timethat either DH or I will post something about being in labor so that we don't need to make 15,245,309,394,000 phone calls or text messages.

I've made my FB profile private and I don't accept requests from people I either don't know or wouldn't want to share information with.

I wouldn't want to delete my friends just because I don't want them to know how many cm dialated I am! Facebook is not private. I wouldn't want a potential employer to check my facebook (which some do) and see those kinds of posts.

Just NMS. Some people are okay with it. I think it's personal.

This.

Facebook is as private as you make it. I only have friends and family on mine, and they are the only ones who can see what I post. No random strangers can see anything if they aren't my friends.

I don't see what's so TMI about that. I do think it's strange to be facebook "friends" with  people you don't really care about.

If you have things set as private - or Friends Only - then you won't be sharing your updates with the world (or future employers). 

For me, we'll likely say that we're in labor....but probably not give the stats of my vag.  I'm sure some of my friends would like to know....but for me, it's just TMI to share with all of my friends.  I suppose I'll have a short list of people that I'll text as we're moving along.  But not announce it to everyone!  But to each his own....

I'm facebook friends with my friends. People who I keep in touch with via facebook. 

If I wanted to make my facebook only friends that I'd want to know about my cm dialated, it would be my mom, BF, and maybe my best friend. That would be one boring facebook!

Just to be clear, I'm probably going to announce when I'm in labor. I don't think that's TMI. But I know that even my brother wouldn't want to see "Danielle is crowning" as a status!!

Doesn't bother me although I don't think I'll be giving a play by play of my labor.  What bothers me more is the people who post "I am pregnant" before the pee stick has even dried or, like a friend of mine, who announces they are officially TTC #2.   2 months later she posts "Ughh...its taking so much longer to conceive this baby than the first time around".  I do not need to know that.

Yeah, that's awkward!
