Trying to Get Pregnant

April Fools Pregnancy Announcements

Just curious who else out there saw some of these today.

Not one but two people on my FB friends list thought it would be a cute idea. Maybe it's because I'm having TTTC, but it just rubbed me the wrong way. 

What do you think - are they funny, or in poor form?  

Re: April Fools Pregnancy Announcements

  • This was the first year I didn't see any in my feed. They didn't bother me previously. I don't think they're funny, they bore me. I can understand how they would be bothersome though.

  • I saw this, too.  (Hi, btw!)

    We're TTA for now, but today was CD36 (not my usual cycle length), so I POAS to be sure, and it was a BFN.  I told DH, and he said something about it being an April Fool's joke.  Oy.

  • Yeah, a good friend of mine pulled this today too. It's not offensive to me, just stupid...especially since she's been telling everyone on earth that she's 100% done having kids. Yet some people still fell for it.

  • I had a friend that doesn't want children and knows that we are trying instant message me saying she was pregnant as an April fools. I didn't think it was funny at all.

  • I fortunately didn't have any on my FB today but I wouldn't find them funny or cute. I'm probably extra sensitive though since I got my BFP and then miscarried almost exactly a year ago.

  • I saw three. One of them being my best friend. She knows we are trying to conceive and having some issues.
    It doesn't really bother me because the world certainly doesn't revolve around my TTC but I just think its unoriginal and in pretty bad taste

    They don't bother me, but I think they're lame.  Not to mention totally unoriginal!

  • I don't find them funny or original but then again I don't find too many April Fools jokes funny or original.

  • I had one friend do it. She does it EVERY YEAR. She also does those "We're expecting a bundle of joy in 9 months . . . . it's Santa!" statuses too. ALL THE TIME. No one even falls for it anymore.

  • I actually think they're funny, but I see what you mean about them rubbing you the wrong way while ttc.

  • Someone had told their husband they were pregnant and went along all day. Then she had her daughter video tape her telling her husband at the end of the day it was April Fools. He was seriously really upset. And she had it on video.


  • I don't think they are funny at all :(
