outed on facebook :(

So someone outed me on facebook today - "congratualtions on going to be a Mommy!" 

I knew this was going to happen, I guess I need to make an announcement on my own now before too many people comment.

I was going to hope that no one notices, but that is unlikely.

aw that stinks! I would hurry and post it before people start thinking they are the only one you didnt tell!

I made the decision not to announce it on facebook, and my hubby is so mad.  A few people have outed us too, but not too many people have caught on.  If you really want to keep it quiet, you can always erase comments.  I'm just waiting for the first pic of my bump to be tagged... there's no hiding it then!!

You should be able to delete it. I've removed comments from my wall before.

This was a big fear for me. I deleted anything on my page that referenced that, because I felt it was up to me to share if I wanted. Plus, my work didn't know for quite some time, so I didn't want them to find out like that. I'd delete the comment and email the person privately if you don't want to share yet. If not, it's time to find a fun way of updating your status!

my DH's best friend outed us. its all good though. we had already told all the important people.

Did you tell this person not to share the news and that you'd do it yourself when you were ready? I learned that the "secret" factor must be made VERY clear. And still, people can be jerks.

Just don't make a big deal out of it. Say thanks, post your own annoucement, and let it ride. If people want to be 12 year olds and throw fits about who was told first, let them.

This happened to me as well. You should be able to hide or delete it, the trick is to catch it before anyone else does.

If you don't want it on Facebook, I would delete the comment and disable your wall. I doubt this person will be the only one to make that mistake.

I was goingto do it eventually anyway - so I guess now is as good of a time as any.  I changed my profile pic to a sonogram and that might be all I do.

That's exactly what happened to me.  We had already told our immediate families, but unfortunately my mother can't keep a secret and told all 3 of her brothers, who then told their families.  I woke up one morning and saw that my cousin had posted "Congratulations!  So exciting!!!" the night before - It was there ALL night.  Although she didn't say anything specific about a baby or being a mommy, it was still pretty obvious.  I ended up just deleting it.  I just don't get why anyone would post something like that when it's OBVIOUS that I haven't told everyone.  If I had, I'm sure someone else would have said something on fb or I would have posted something myself.  Some people just don't think.

My mom outed me lol. In her defense I did tell her that once I had an ultrasound I was going to tell everyone on facebook. She just did it for me :-P

Oh...that sucks! I have done everything in my power to prevent someone from outing me on FB. I had an abnormal u/s early on...so I was waiting to get the word from my OB that we were in the clear. I've actually been meaning to post my sonogram pic on there...but that means I have to hook up my printer, and scan the thing...and I just don't have the energy to do that for now.

 I think my friends will appreciate it though...many of our other girlfriends posted as soon as they found out (like 6 weeks) and then we had to hear about every little thing from then on out....including the stuff no one wants to know, like what they just puked up...gross.

Delete it and then change your setting so no one can write on your wall.

Delete and cahnge your settings so people can't write on your wall.  No big deal.

Like a PP, I was going to suggest deleting the comment & deactivating your wall until you're ready to make an announcment.

When DH & I announced my pregnancy to family & close friends, we prefaced it with "do NOT post anything about this on Facebook".  We both work in the same office and are FB friends with managers & supervisors in the office.  At that point we hadn't told anyone in work & we didn't want our supervisors finding out via FB.

why not delete the comment from your page!
