Facebook Outed: What's the next step?

Hi fellow fab mamas to be. Last time I was stressed and posted you guys came to my rescue. Dilemma. I am 5 months and have never made an announcement on Facebook. We have two friends who had miscarriages and several who are trying and it never seemed right. I think a lot of others and often don't want to display the events in my life. The main reasons we never did is that at first it was too early and then I began suffering from acute morning sickness. I am on meds now but still suffering. I told all of my important friends and family and was still taking pics on Facebook though bumpless. Well, the meds worked and I have gained ten pounds and have a cute bump. This weekend, we were in Southern Cali and the pics are surfacing. A friend asked if I was having twins. (Insert their face and my hand). I joked back that it was a manifestation of my greedy ways and that I will head to the gym soon. I regretted commenting and later deleted. Now ppl are commenting that I don't look pregnant. I can't untag or delete the picture from my iPad. My plate is so full with other things. What should I do now? Officially announce or delete pic. What would you do?

Ditto.
I don't understand the concern. You aren't being like OH EM GEE LOOK AT ME ALL THE TIME I'M PREGNANT. Someone tagged you and people found out. No big deal. You don't need to make an announcement, but I wouldn't say you aren't.
As a loss mom I did
I wouldn't delete the pic. We kept it "covered up" & have a lot of friends TTC but now at 5 months I am finally enjoying this and have the right to be happy and proud. Here was my fun fb outing last week (DH is super private but I had t
You don't have to realease an official statement. I don't really post anything on Facebook at all, and certainly dont feel obligated to plaster my pregnancy status for random acquaintances to hear the news. I really don't understand why people worry so
It is only a matter of time before the facts come out.
When you've been married this long, you need a ticker to remind you.

I really don't understand what the big deal is. Either 1) ignore the post entirely or 2) respond with "nope, not twins! Just one!"
It really doesn't have to be a big deal and I don't understand the need for an official announcement. <

Unless you were looking forward to making a big announcment, I would just let it be. The news will trickle out, just confirm it in the comments. If you're trying to avoid making a big deal about it, this probably worked out for the best any
