It was technically announced today, on accident. Thankfully I was able to email my friend and she took it down promptly... she had taken pictures of an event I had directed, and made the comment about being impressed that I pulled it all together being pregnant and all. No one on DH's side knows, including his parents. That was not how they needed to find out... I'm only 11 weeks, so it will be a couple more weeks.
Either when the twins are born lol or after the 18 week anatomy scan. Our close friends and family all know, so we will just have to see about if there will be a fb announcement
I am 13w1d and have started to tell my close friends and family. I don't really have any interest in doing a Facebook announcement and if I do it will be after the 20 week scan.
I plan on sharing on Facebook after our anatomy scan. This way we can be like "surprise we're pregnant & it's a ......!" With my first pregnancy, we shared at 11 weeks.
Our family and close friends already know so that's all that matters to us
I'm going to share with everyone tomorrow after my u/s tomorrow. I'll be 11 weeks I've already shared with my family and fiances family but will make official tomorrow!
I'm 14 weeks n 3days n I'm not telling the people on my fb until I find out the sex of the baby n that when the rest of my fam will no to I just don't want to tell people yet
I've been thinking about this for awhile now. I'm 12 weeks. Last pregnancy I announced on Facebook at 8 weeks. I think this time around I might wait until I'm showing a lot and just post a cute family photo around the holidays. Most people that I wanted to tell already know. We told our families right away for various reasons. My closest friends all know, in fact two of them are pregnant too!
I plan on doing a FB reveal/going public post at some point next week (I'll be 12 weeks plus a few by then, unless the baby measures differently then our first estimate). DH and I have already told our parents and a set of close family friends. I'm not making the "official announcement" until I've told a select few friends and my and DH's grandmothers. I know once we tell the grandmothers everyone will suddenly know Doing a FB announcement is our way of letting friends/family of ours who we are unable to see as often as like know the big news!
I was dying to share for weeks on social media and even had an announcement planned, but I definitely wanted to wait until my second trimester. Now I'm 15+ weeks and suddenly all the urgency is gone. Thinking about waiting until after the anatomy scan so I can post a more detailed ultrasound pic, or who knows, I may not post at all? We shall see...
We won't be announcing on FB. My husband and I will announce when our bundle of joy is born early Jan. The people who are close to us, we know really well and love knew at 12 weeks.
I announced at 14 weeks, when we finally told our families on 4th of July weekend. About two minutes after I announced, a girl on my friends list decided she was going to post and kind of stole my thunder. I hate people (: she posts everything right after I do, baby statuses, bump pictures, etc. Ughhh.
I didn't want to announce on FB this time around, but my husband had other plans. He ordered the personalized coke bottles with mom, dad, our three boys on theirs and "baby #4" to make an announcement picture. He never posts anything on FB so I was a little surprised, ohh and I loathe coke so I'm not sure where he got the idea. He is super excited and very proud of his idea so we'll see how it goes. I don't have another appointment until the 27th and I'll be almost 15 weeks so I'll let him do it then or wait until I have a decent bump to go along with it.
I'm sure I'll get around to it, but I'm not in a rush. Family already knows, and a few close friends do, too. With my first, I announced once I hit 2nd tri. With the twins, I waited until after the AS. My AS this time around is the second week in August, so I'll probably wait until after then.
13w2d. I was going to take the most adorable pic on the beach with my hubby to email to family and post on Facebook tonight. It started raining as soon as hubby got home from work. I'm hysterical. My mom has been pressuring me to announce, and I got all gussied up, and now I'm throwing a tantrum like I'm 2!
We weren't planning on posting anything during the pregnancy. A few family members have tagged is in baby videos/posts. I've asked them to untag pretty quick, but I have a feeling we are going to be pushed to answer questions soon! I will be 15w on Sunday.
I told my family and partners Parents and sister and nieces when I was 4 weeks. My Mum was so excited she told my whole family because this is her first grand child. I announced on Facebook around that time too. I found out I was going to be a mummy on Mothers Day! Lol

Off topic, but Jayne is my middle name and I've never seen anyone other than my aunt have the same spelling! I just got waaaay too excited.
I don't really plan to post anything to Facebook, or have a Facebook idea, but I have a feeling that once we get through telling the rest of my family this weekend that some family or friends will end up tagging us in Congrats posts. If that happens, I'll let it happen, I'm not going to track people down to delete stuff. If I didn't want anything on Facebook at all, I probably shouldn't have Facebook.
We announced on the 4th of July since we already had hit be second trimester. I happened to find a cute pic...it was spur of the moment and we went with it! N we posted that baby will be born in December..:bc I'm high risk there is no way I'll go full term. Even though I'm due early Jan
I probably won't post until baby is born. I'm not in any hurry to tell my mom and we are friends on FB. We've told our kids and all of our close family and friends.
Like some PP'S have said, I'm going back and forth. I'll be 13 weeks Thursday and have an opportunity to announce this weekend after we tell the rest of the extended family at a get together, but I'm not sure I want to announce until we have the anatomy scan. I have a gender announcement idea that's just too good and I kind of want to wait until then...
Not posting in FB .. Planning to keep baby away from social media as long as it's possible. He/she will have to deal with it anyways for the rest of their life ..
