Announcement holdouts

Daisy1232 · March 2014

Who still hasn't announced on Facebook? I just had a friend post that she's due in October!!

I've told quite a few people but I'm planning on waiting until 20 weeks to announce on fb.

Anyone else? When will you announce?

Stasi · March 2014

I have 3 or 4 friends that are pregnant and due anywhere from next week to this coming August. None of them have announced on FB, and they don't plan on it.

No harm in waiting, IMO

jennashawn2013 · March 2014

I'm 12 weeks but haven't made it Facebook Official either. I'm planning on waiting a while as well. We have also told a few friends and our families. I'm with you on that one

brittneyandadam · March 2014

We've told parents but are waiting to tell everyone else until our testing comes back...that should be another week and a half

JackieB15 · March 2014

We've only told our families so far. I need to tell a few people in person before I can make a FB announcement. Plus I haven't gotten around to taking the picture I want to use yet.

chardonnay24 · March 2014

I'm not announcing at all. My husband put up our 12 week u/s pic, so some of our mutual friends know because of that, but mostly we've been telling people in person.

Kmack510 · March 2014

I have no desire to announce on Facebook ... if someone is important enough, I'll tell them in person or on the phone if they don't live locally.

For all you who have not announced yet, here are a few ideas.... lol

We havent announced on FB. Our family and a few close friends know. We probably will wait till closer to 20 weeks for FB.

90joelashleyhall92 · March 2014

AHHHH!!! Hope this one works...

Everyusernameistaken · March 2014

I didn't do a fb announcement last time and I won't this time. I told close friends and family right away and have just started telling others last week when I hit 14 weeks and heard a nice strong heartbeat. I'm just really private about sharing stuff on social media and would prefer to tell people in person/on the phone.

eta: although some of those creepy maternity shots posted above might just be awesome enough to make me change my mind, haha

Daisy1232 · March 2014

Hahaha!!! To be honest I don't want to post an ultrasound photo and so many announcements seem so awkward that might be why I've held off!!

I understand why someone wouldn't want to post on Facebook, but I want to share the celebration with everyone. For whatever reason I just want to wait.

nyg2042 · March 2014

I don't plan on announcing on Facebook. Our immediate families know - we plan on telling extended family and friends after our appointment this week.

kmbk27 · March 2014

We have tons of extended family, and we have friends from here to Japan, so we will be doing a Facebook announcement as long as all is well after our appointment this Thursday. Our immediate families and close friends have known for a few weeks.

MeNV · March 2014

I don't plan on announcing on FB. Just not my thing. I've seen announcements from people as early as five weeks to those who mention they are having a baby next month just in case you haven't heard. All work!

purplestarz · March 2014

I also had a friend announce last week that she is due in October! We just started telling family and friends a couple days ago. Once we tell everyone we want to personally, we do have an announcement to put on Facebook. I know if I don't announce on Facebook, our family and friends will end up posting something (my mom is already bugging me because she wants to say something on Facebook). I figure I better say something myself before they all do!

readysetorganize@gmail.com · March 2014

12 weeks and we are waiting until I find a job or can't hide it any longer. My Pgal brain refuses to allow me to announce that publicly, although close family and a few friends know. I have friends posting that are due in Oct. too! We had a friend post in January that they were due in the second week of August...to each their own!

Linz-E · March 2014

We haven't either...Plan on telling the rest of our family when we go back to our hometown next week. I may wait until anatomy scan thats what I did with DD.

RebeccaRyan · March 2014

We have only told a handful of people due to our complications. We probably won't announce to friends until after our next us, and I'm not sure we'll announce this one on Facebook. To each their own and we announced our first in fb, but this time I'm more hesitant due to the complications.

sapphires-and-diamonds · March 2014

I don't plan on announcing on fb. I said if someone tags me in a photo this summer and I have a huge belly, people can find out that way. If you're important in my life you'll know by then.

MrsGoody1118 · March 2014

I haven't and don't have a plan to this time. I couldn't wait to announce with my first. I'm not sure why I'm more hesitant this time.

CplusJ=S · March 2014

Still waiting. I announced at 16 weeks with my last pregnancy after my anatomy scan and learning the sex of the baby. This time my MaterniT21 results should be back when I'm 16 weeks so I will announce after my next appointment, April 3. Planning on posting a pic of my DD wearing her Big Sis shirt holding pink or blue balloons.

LTMama · March 2014

I don't plan to make an announcement. We didn't last time - it was a deliberate decision, I just didn't do it on Facebook and didn't happen to take any photos of myself that showed my bump. I was supposed to do some maternity photos and may have posted one or two, and maybe baby shower pics, but DD showed up so early that none of that happened.

This time I'd kind of like to take some family photos when I'm showing, so I might post those. Not really an announcement, though, since I'd be pretty far along at that point.

Kelmaz323 · March 2014

I don't plan on announcing on Facebook. Our friends and family know and I feel like other people just creep on your page bc they are nosey. We aren't denying we are pregnant or trying to hide it, just not doing a special announcement on there.

JulyMomma2U2 · March 2014

I haven't yet. I have a few colleagues of mine who are FB friends, and I'm not planning to tell work until Mid-April... after promotions are announced ;-) I've been "in the running" for promotion the past 2 years, but it was gently hinted to me that "taking maternity leave back to back" probably kept me from getting promoted.. I'm keeping this cat in the bag as long as I can!!

wrightpalomo · March 2014

We are trying to tell quite a few people in person before we say anything on Facebook. I also haven't told work and probably won't until late April (its just a really busy time for the org. right now and I don't want to add anything else to the stress). I still don't know if I want to do a big Facebook announcement but my whole family is just dying for me to announce. I don't know what the big deal is for my family but the more they want me to announce the less I want to!

mavelle93 · March 2014

Not really planning on doing an official facebook announcement. We are a little more private in general. I may eventually put up pictures where I just happen to have a big bump where it'll be obvious. ALTHOUGH, I am now tempted to try to get my husband to dress up like a caveman with me and take a funny picture to post like in that wonderful assortment that was posted.

RobynD99 · March 2014

We haven't Facebook announced either. I'm just too nervous, told all family and closest friends. A lot of our coworkers know too. I'll be 16 weeks Thursday and looking into elective ultrasound next week. So maybe after that. I've known what I want to do if/when we announce so I'm excited about creating the announcement!

JenniferS2004 · March 2014

I'm announcing on April Fool's Day. Should be fun and it is my birthday.

MBano · March 2014

Everyone knows on my end. This week, they all found out. It's a huge relief.

saraeric · March 2014

I'm planning on announcing on FB and to my work on Wednesday after my appointment. I keep telling myself I just want to hear the heart beat one more time and then I'll feel comfortable. I'm mainly posting on FB due to a huge extended family. It'll be the quickest way to spread the word!

Ceridwen21 · March 2014

Hoping to announce this week. DH still has a few friends he wants to tell in person first.

kayemgi · March 2014

We were planning to announce this past weekend, but then our NT scan measurement was high on Friday and so we've decided to wait until we get our MaterniT21 test results back. I didn't want to wait actually, I don't want to hide it if we end up with "bad" results, but DH feels differently, so I want to respect his wishes. Our family knows and that's what's important. Hopefully we will get "good" results (in quotes because I think those words mean different things to everyone in relation to test results and diagnoses) and we will make our public announcement this weekend.

bf43005 · March 2014

We told family and some very close friends. We were going to wait to make a FB announcement but my DH's cousin told his step mother who made a post on my FB page. I was able to delete it but thought we should say something before someone else spilled it. I have a lot of extended family who don't live close that we keep in contact through FB so we wanted to do something. We waited until after we heard the HB and got a U/S.

chusum · March 2014

I haven't made it "FB official" and have no plans to do so until the baby is born, just like I did with my daughter. I'm not a fan of the mass announcement.

MrsKasel10 · March 2014

I will not be making a fb announcement. We have/ will tell the people that will really be excited for us like close friends and family. DH doesn't have a fb so that makes it easier.

Milo5181 · March 2014

We won't announce on FB and we didn't last time. Everyone who I want to announce to, I want to do it directly, and everyone else I don't really want them knowing until I post a pic of the baby. I just have a lot of distant FB acquaintances that I wouldn't want to "untell" if something bad happened. It was fine last time. Everyone who needs to know will find out from us, and those who don't need to know aren't being left out of anything.

Bella2425 · March 2014

I haven't announced to extended family yet. My DH wants to also do some "clever" FB post, but I'm just not that into it this time. I'd rather just let people know as I go. We'll see. It's weird that I'm just not in a big hurry this time.

LexiT88 · March 2014

We have announced to family and a few close friends. We are not announcing on FB until after our next US at 16 weeks. This is baby #2 so it's been a little easier to keep the secret this time, last time I definitely announced it pretty early.

amyc216 · March 2014

I'm going to after my a/s at 18 weeks
