chickened out on Facebook. What do you think?

LawyerMomma · February 2010

Im 13 weeks 1 day and had the NT ultrasound this past Wednesday and everything seemed perfect with the baby! I am dying to announce but when I got down to it and started to upload the ultrasound picture I chickened out!! I almost feel like it is bad luck. With my last three pregnancies we had ultrasounds at 8 weeks and everytthing would go south within the same week. Should I do it? WWYD?

well, first let me warn you that I am a big, fat hypocrite.

But I'm trying to embrace this pregnancy and believe it's going to be ok unless I'm told otherwise. If all signs point to good (your great NT scan, your impending arrival to 2nd tri) I would go ahead and post. You love this baby, proclaim it to the world! Let everyone who cares about you be happy for you!

that said I'm a hypocrite who is having a hard time embracing this myself....so Stick out tongue

Posting an u/s pic is not bad luck. Embrace your pregnancy

It's a personal decision and you need to do what you are comfortable with, if you don't feel like it don't do it!

I have totally had a hard time telling anyone but our parents and siblings. My mom told my aunt this week and I started crying when I found out. I feel I might be more comfortable if everyone knew, but I just can't do it. My goal is to announce to FB and my grandma/ relatives after the big u/s at 18 weeks. I've said a few times if it was an option I would just wait and tell everyone when the baby arrives in August.

I was 20 weeks before we announced on FB but I was a big chicken also. We didn't tell anyone but our parents until 19 weeks.

Posting on facebook is not a jix.... You are not required to do it, but it won't hurt anything. I know personally that I had a really hard time posting, but once I did, I was so happy. Good luck with your decision!

We aren't announcing on FB at all... and we plan on telling everyone around 20 weeks. When we lost the twins, it was awful having people I haven't seen since high school trying to tell me it wasn't meant to be with the twins. They had no idea what they were talking about. When we have a baby in our arms, we will post a picture on FB... until then, those people can just not know. Anyone who is close will know at 20ish weeks.

You have to do what makes you comfortable...if you're not ready, wait a week or so, and see how you feel. Announcing to FB, especially if you have people on there that might not be super close to you, can be intimidating. I definitely agree, though, embrace the pregnancy...even if you don't post on Facebook, enjoy every day that you're pregnant...it's a wonderful gift!!
