We ain't close to laboring yet!

So we made it FB Official today by announcing to the world that we are expecting a baby

Are you FB official yet?

toto99 · September 2013

We have not made it FB official yet. I feel like a lot of people know, but hubs wants to wait until we get past the 1st trimester.

katieharpiceland · September 2013

No, not yet. Gonna take it for awhile maybe even past 1st trimester before making it fb official.

4maddison · September 2013

We aren't yet & I'm torn on whether to post a FB announcement after 1st tri. I just had a friend lose her baby at 6 months pregnant & she had to deliver the baby still born and then she had to "unannounce" on FB. It was heartbreaking. I know the chance of something like that happening is low, but it freaks me out.

snmetz7 · September 2013

part of me wants to wait till 20 weeks to pass my loss date part of me is just too excited to keep it in! it will be at LEAST 12 weeks. but idk if i will make it to 20.

Rrrrrachel · September 2013

I haven't even been to the doctor yet! It will be the end of September before we even think about Facebook. We have started telling our family, though.

ksulli · September 2013

I won't put it on FB. My last pregnancy only wound up there when a friend posted a pic from my shower.

. Cute way of putting it though- hope you get lots of good reactions.

bingbongsmama · September 2013

Not until the 4th or 5th month on FB

Dianakdee · September 2013

No way! I don't even think ill go FB official until the baby is here next year

. Only family and close friends

Dixon813 · September 2013

No one knows (except ladies here!). We'll tell our families and close friends after we pass the first trimester. We announced on FB at 13-14 weeks last time, but this time, I'm hesitant to make any big announcements before 23 weeks....

McRogol · September 2013

Definitely not making any public declarations of pregnancy until we're comfortable telling aunts/uncles, friends, employer, etc. None of those people should find out via fb. We'll probably wait until 16-20 weeks.

deidremaria · September 2013

Strangely enough I don't plan on posting on fb or any other social network. I even asked my sister not to post baby shower pics if she throws one

MamaFantastic · September 2013

nope. we probably won't until 12-13 weeks. we're not superstitious or anything, and we didn't wait nearly this long to reveal our news with my son, but given that i have some higher risk complications this time, we're just riding it out and making sure all still looks good.

that said, about 90% of our close or even reasonably close friends know at this point, so it's very much not a secret. we tell people whenever we see them in person, so making it FB official means our former classmates and coworkers and distant relatives will find out.

AcaAwkward · September 2013

Nothing on FB until 2nd Tri - probably not until we know the sex.

LBStewart · September 2013

Definitely not fb official yet. My DH, mom, and one co-worker knows. Going to the doctor next week and once I talk to my boss, then I'll think about putting it on fb. I did not announce DD last year on fb until she was born and a lot of people (h.s. and college friends) were sad to be out of the loop.

RocksInTheWater · September 2013

We told our families last weekend but will wait until after our 13 week NT scan before others know. Probably will say something on FB at that point.

deanchica · September 2013

We're telling our families and a couple of my close friends at nearly 9 weeks, then my employer right after that. I don't think I'll be able to wait much longer after that for our official FB announcement. I had a miscarriage at 5 weeks last year, but this one is going much better. I've had a successful US and heard the heartbeat which significantly reduces the miscarriage risk. I just can't hold in my excitement any longer!

mandiroo · September 2013

Nope. We'll probably wait til we know boy or girl....long time from now!

DemoDoll · September 2013

We are announcing at 12 or 13 weeks. We are telling family and close friends before we announce to everyone else. I am so excited!

KNSATX · September 2013

No- we'll wait until at least 12 weeks.

Beener0514 · September 2013

We have our first ultrasound on Thursday and will likely announce that day or that weekend. We've already told close friends, family, and employers. I want to tell the whole damn world

J&NL · September 2013

We made it FB official too

MapleLeafMama · September 2013

We aren't going facebook public until after our anatomy scan.

aboleary34 · September 2013

Nothing on FB until we know the sex like last time.

CandaceMarie321 · September 2013

I'm posting on FB next week after my dating ultrasound. The only reason I'm waiting that long (7 weeks) is because my due date has changed from what I suspected with previous pregnancies.

When I miscarried a few years ago I wished I had announced the pregnancy on FB. It was far too painful for me to say the words in person but I could have used the support from my friends who never even knew I was pregnant to being with. That said I'm fairly selective about FB friends. I'm a SAHM so I'm not using it for networking or anything, just keeping in touch with people I truly like.

hordol · September 2013

We won't go facebook official until October once we've hit 13 weeks or so. I want to make sure I get a chance to tell all of my close friends and family first so that they don't have to find out online. I'm feeling pretty confident about everything going well, but you just never know.

myschlove · September 2013

I don't know how you all can keep it a secret for so long! we've seen the heartbeat so it's on FB now

honestly I've been so sick that it's becoming hard to keep it quiet anyway! (you can only say your "fighting a bug" for so long)

BR · September 2013

I haven't told a single soul besides my husband. I definitely won't be announcing on fb anytime soon. With my daughter, we waited until 20 weeks after our anatomy scan. I was 10 weeks along when I lost my second and I'm glad only close family knew. I just don't like to talk about things that are upsetting to me so the fewer the people that knew, the better. I'm anxious to not have to keep it a secret anymore though.

Heeb918 · September 2013

I almost announced on FB last year after I saw the healthy heartbeat at 8 weeks but was very glad I didn't when I m/c at 10 weeks. I am friends with over 1000 people from different chapters of my life and honestly don't get on much anymore anyway. I'll probably wait until after the a/s to make sure friends don't find out that way, so after I can call and tell everyone.

This. Facebook wasn't around when I had my son. I have no desire to tell my Facebook group since some of them I haven't seen since high school. Will tell close family after 1st tri. Bf doesn't want to tell anyone unless he/she is born. He jokingly said I won't be allowed out when I get big. He's a little afraid cause of our loss. ;;)

LittleLady77 · September 2013

Absolutely not. I've seen too many people have to unannounce. I'm not sure if I will ever post on FB. If I do it will be much much later in my pregnancy.

nikki912 · September 2013

Waiting until at least the second trimester.

Oddly enough I did labor on Labor Day two years ago!!

Sarahjess06 · September 2013

A lot of people know we are expecting.... We have big mouths when it comes to good news

we won't make it fb official until at least 12 weeks

DIY7 · September 2013

My family and my BMB know. I won't be telling the FB world until 20 weeks, maybe later.

thecuddleeffect · September 2013

We will prob announce early, because so many people are following our journey, and so many people reached out after our loss. Because we are so public their support would be greatly appreciated if anything were to go wrong. We will wait until after at least our first u/s maybe until our 2nd u/s and appointment with the MFM on the 30th.

CalinAZ · September 2013

Thinking we probably won't tell on facebook until we find out the sex. However, I am planning on starting to post about it on my blog around 12 weeks, once I've told close friends and work. So far just my side of the family knows. My dad texted again today to ask if now that both my sisters knew, he could tell his friends :P. I had to re-explain the concept of keeping things under wraps until second trimester.

HollyHazlett5 · September 2013

It is so hard not to share! First sono is tomorrow, so we may decide to tell parents and family only... Not Facebook official til we know the sex, arrrrg! Patiently waiting... :-)

LaurenC109 · September 2013

I'm going to wait until 12 weeks before I make it facebook official. I'm 10 weeks right now.

christinanoelle · September 2013

I don't think we will officially announce it. DH isn't too keen on FB. He doesn't even have an account. But I have a lot of events coming up (weddings, showers, etc) which means a lot of pictures. So I think I will let those speak for themselves! I can't wait to start showing

Stasi · September 2013

I'll be waiting until 13 or 14 weeks to share

michigancam · September 2013

We find out the sex in just two weeks and will probably announce then. Because I'm AMA they are doing bloodwork for various complications which also reveals the sex of the baby. Praying for a healthy little one so deeply that if the news comes back good I just can't imagine holding it in!
