  It annoys me too. I've seen an image floating around that describes why it's so stupid for people to do. Hopefully someone who actually knows how to PIP will post it!

  I think it's gross and tacky. I would NEVER joke about that sort of thing on FB. I can't imagine how people think it's funny/cute.

  BFP #1 - Mango - 6/11/12, EDD 2/22/12 Natural MC 7/15/12

  BFP #2 - Nacho - 10/14/12, EDD 6/20/13, MMC 8 weeks, D&C 11/16/12

  All testing shows both H and I are perfectly normal. Baby Nacho had triploidy. 

  Back to normal business December 2012

  BFP #3 - Froggy - 1/15/13, EDD 9/27/13 TEAM GREEN

  I'm thankful I haven't seen any this year, but I did see a few last year, and those stung a lot, with one miscarriage behind us and no luck TTCAL yet.

  I've been amazed at the number iof Oct 2013 posters who have announced their real pregnancies on FB today, thinking it's funny that people won't be able to figure out if it's true or not. I just don't get it.

  It really bothers me. I know so many people who have lost LO's and have had a hard time getting/staying pregnant. I think it's very insensitive.

  I've seen that picture float around a few times now, and I appreciate the sentiment. Unfortunately, it's just been more and more of the same as the day goes on.

  It's actually sad  how many people have posted the same thing today. Apparently

  Thankfully I have not seen any fakes on FB, but I have seen the above pic. I'm mostly pissed at how many people on the October board said if it bothers you that you are being "too sensitive".

  Yes, it bothers me and yes I've seen them today. People just have no idea how their actions can be hurtful. It's not something to joke about, imo.

  I am actually bothered by the ones that say "surprise! we are having twins!" when they aren't. It makes me think of all of the women who were having multiples and no longer are.

  I completely agree. They bother me too. Like Chelsea Handler's announcement on her show last night.... when she is definitely not expecting. Ugh.
