So my friend is/was pregnant and due any day. I opened up my FB and bam! There is a pic of her in the hospital holding that baby! She had him in 2 hours! It just shocked me even though she was due any day LOL. No real point to this post. Just thought it was crazy.

Maybe my UO should be that I don't really like people who post a picture of themselves & the baby on FB the minute they have their child.
I like some privacy but I do realize not everyone is like that.

I completely agree with you. I didn't let anyone in to see DS for like 2 hours i was just shell shocked that about what had just happened.

My friend on the other hand doesn't mind. She is an open book.

Nevermind the FB post, this is what I'm thinking! It took DS 22ish hours plus a c-section to get here.

Wow. I never really calculated my total labor time, but it was definitely more than 2 hours... I pushed for 2 hours, haha. And while DH posted an announcement on Facebook that morning, I didn't post anything until like, a week later.

My labor was pretty short, but I think closer to 11 hours. Not 2! Crazy.

And yeah, FB never even knew I was pregnant. I told people in real life, never posted a single thing about it. Called our parents when my water broke and then again later when we caught our breath after delivery. And then called/email friends and other family in the next days. Yes, dayS. I don't think I posted a single pic of ds on fb until he was 10 months old, and even then the audience was seriously limited.

People put too much on fb.

I didn't put much on FB about the pregnancy. We never officially announced it or anything, but my husband is an amateur photographer, so it became apparent eventually. We did put up a picture a few hours after he was born. *Triggers* I still don't go overboard on FB with baby stuff and try to balance all of my interests in my very infrequent posts. I have a few friends dealing with infertility and one with baby loss. They are good, loving people, but sometimes our joy can bring them hurt, so I try to be sensitive while also showing off my kid every once in a while.

I didn't mention the pregnancy on Facebook. Originally we were high risk and by the time I felt safe, I decided it would be more fun to just spring it on people. Some knew by other means of course. DH posted some basic, conservative photos about 24 hours after the birth and I think it took me another couple days. ----- I was an emergency induction due to pre-e. Whole process was 13 hours but I slept for some (epi) and pushed for about 10 minutes. They actually told me to stop pushing because the doctor wasn't there yet. Small enough town that there isn't an OB on duty overnight. They call and wake them up when someone is getting close. ------- Most of our family relies on FB for updates and photos but I make extensive use of lists for limiting who sees what. More out of consideration than concerns. ----- Does anyone know how to get paragraph breaks on an iPad? Yuck.

This all makes me laugh, because FB wasn't even a thing when I was pregnant :P Gosh. I was pregnant in 2005, that seems forever ago. I think O joined FB in 2007? While I love FB, I'm sort of glad it wasn't around when I was pregnant.
