Anyone NOT "coming out" on facebook?

I'm thinking of never actually announcing our pregnancy on facebook.  Maybe just let people post photos until someone figures out I have a giant bump.  Is that wrong?  Embarrassed

    I don't plan on making a big announcement or anything on Facebook.  If someone says something on there, then I'll leave it at that.

    No, its your business ... and only the people that are close to you or your family really need to know.  I know that I'm going back and forth with this.  If I do, I probably wont do it until later in my pregnancy.  I get enough questions/attentions from my family and close friends that I'm okay with my high school geometry partner not knowing.

    Exactly this for me too!

    I'm definitely not, but I'm also not a Facebook junkie. I'm not hiding it either, I just don't see the point of making a post about it.

    Nah, I personally find FB annoucements annoying and unnecessary.  Now that we're 'public' I have mentioned it a few times and people who didn't know found out that way, but there was no giant announcement.

    I won't be announcing on FB.  I don't think FB is the appropriate way to tell close friends and family... beyond those people, I don't care if my other FB "friends" ever know or not.

    I agree with you all!  I think since it is our 2nd, I am not as "ready" to announce it to the public world that is facebook like I was with our first.  I kind of get annoyed with the constant pregnant posts from my PG friends.  Worst thing is this one girl who constantly is posting pictures of her PARKED in the pregnancy stalls at various stores.  Lame.  Maybe this is why I am deterred from posting about my pregnancy.

    No, I'm doing the same thing.  No need to draw attention to myself.

    I personally have not announced it on facebook because when people find out they ask really inappropriate questions for example are you planning on getting married. Does it really matter??? We have been together almost 2 years, live together and raise our girls (he has a daughter and so do I from previous relationships) marriage is just a piece of paper but I swear every person asks that question so for now I am keeping it my little secret

    I think a Facebook announcement is lame. All the people who I want to know will know. If the others find out ok. I don't think it's necessary at all.

    I don't think I'm going to make a specific post about it, but I'm far enough along that if someone else mentions it I don't really care.

    This is a tough one for me.  I guess because I had a m/c last fall.  Although this pregnancy is going great, I'm still a little nervous about telling the world.  I've been deleting posts that people are putting on my page. I guess I'll just let it go and start leaving what people are posting, and then put up some picks in another couple months or something.  I think its kind of annoying when people post all the time when they are only like 5 weeks prego.  Anyway, FB is crazy.

    If I do its not for awhile. We have told all of our friends and family and people that we are close to.  Neither of us interested in doing a FB announcement. If someone says comments , thats fine .

    Since there's people on facebook that I am "friends" with but in reality not friends with I will not be announcing it on facebook. I created a group called the Turkey Update (since that's what we're calling our LO haha) and I invited only the people I want to be in the know to be in it. They were all very excited that I did this- my ladies love the updates on everything!

    This lady isn't...

    After going through IF and a loss - nothing pained me more than to see someone announcing their pregnancy.  I just don't want to possibly do that to someone else.

    Pregnancy announcements on FB are actually a big pet peeve of mine! Anyone important who should know will be told in person / over the phone.

    I'm not really a big FBer, so I probably won't make any kind of announcement (I can't even remember the last time I updated my status).  It's not a secret anymore though, so I figure at some point, someone will post something or DH will post a picture with an obvious bump.  IDK, no plans for this really.

    Yeah, I'm with you guys. I figure those who know, will know, and if they mention something, no big deal.
