Pregnant after a Loss

Not comming out of FB?

Anyone not planning on comming out on FB? I just talked to DH and said we shoudl post somthing for Thanksgiving on FB about being soooooooooooo thankful for this little one! Not anything tacky, just simple. DH said he thinks its not a good idea. he doesnt want to have it on FB at all, he said it was because some people on there he doent know that well and our pregnancy is very personal to him....So that was kina cute!

and I understand what he is saying, but I have been dying to post somthing! I mean I had to put up with dumb complaining post from like 5 diffrent pg ladys this year and I wanted a chance to at least have people know about baby!

DH asked me knot too, and im ok with that, I was just woundering if im gona be the only one not to anounce on fb.? tell me Im not alone!

Re: Not comming out of FB?

  • I am really unsure of posting on fb myself. My DH wants to post it so all of his friends that live far away know. I would just rather wait till I have my baby alive and well in my arms.

  • I haven't posted on FB yet either. Part of me wants to, the other part is nervous. It's nice to get support from others and feel their excitement but I'm still trepidacious.

  • You will not be the only one.  i have no plans whatsoever of posting anything about the pregnancy on FB.  Probably pictures after birth but that'll be it.  Shoot I even remove random post by friends asking when we're having kids.

  • We're announced on fb after the anatomy scan.  At that time my husband was ok with me announcing. He has fb but does not use it very often.

    We will not be posting anything about baby on FB until she is safe and sound in my arms.

    This!  We'll revisit this idea after the anatomy scan, but we'll probably wait.

  • Some of my friends and family know, but for right now I just don't really want to share my pregnancy with anyone else. I'm enjoying it being *all mine*, if that makes any sense. I'm not ready for FB!

  • I am not going to.  

    Even though I have deleted a lot of contacts, I still have levels of people on there that I don't really feel comfortable posting a huge amount of personal information on.

    I will post pictures after the baby is born and not "hide it" persay.  If someone talks about it on my wall I will acknowledge it, but I am not going to make a big announcement.  

    I also think about how much announcements on FB stung me after our losses and I don't want anyone else to feel that way.

  • My DH reminded me of the sting of pg anouncement for me......but for me it was more the sting of posts that said things like "my baby so and so kicked me all night.so Im upset....Cant wait to get this baby out......im never doing this again.....we'r so done" Things like that are the worst!

    But now im actualy kina relieved to not have to talk about it there!

  • We posted on fb, DH did it a little earlier than I would have liked, it was after we confirmed pregnancy and our parents and bosses knew.  However I'm a manager and my staff of 15, didn't know, and I have another department manager on my fb, who happened to be so excited for me that she congratulated me in front of one of my staff members...so I came clean with them as well.  If I had to do it again I would I am very careful who I friend on my fb, its only family and friends. All of my fb friends I know in person, some live 5minutes from me while other live states away, its how we keep in touch.

  • My DH despises FB and was against posting anything at all.  I use it more than he does and wanted to let those friends know whom I hadn't been able to tell in person.  I ended up waiting until after our anatomy scan to post anything as I felt comfortable with acquaintances knowing then.

  • I have thought about this a lot, I'm a little scared too post on FB.  I think I'll just keep it to myself for as long as possible.  Maybe when I'm about to have the baby I might finally post something, but I'm not doing anything anytime soon!

  • TTCAL here...but I am pretty much not going to come out when I do get PG on FB.  Like your DH mine hates things like that on FB. 

    I plan on at least sending a message to those to I want to tell and maybe if ppl post pics and I look PG I might not do anything against it- just not going to tell the world I guess.  

    DH got a bit upset about me posting how angry I was at other ppls pg posts...(I was having a bad day) he said then ppl will put two and two together and figure out something happen.

    This (but swap "she's" for "he's"). I can barely tell people IRL, much less on FB.
