just curious to see :)
someone I know just put hers on FB and she's 6wks, personally I never would have done it that early! haha
We put ours at 9weeks... I couldn't hide it anymore. lol
The only reason we waited was b/c we have a friend that have been ttc for quite awhile and I wanted to talk to her personally before making the announcement and her finding out first hand. It took about 3 weeks to get with her.
Afterwards though we made the announcement to our Young Adults Group and I posted on fb and IG that evening. lol
I just did at 10 1/2 weeks, we finally announced to our close family, and had a good ultrasound, so I was feeling ready.
We told our families around 6 or 7 weeks and after our families knew then we told friends and it ended up on fb.
I am not planning on saying anything until well after the 1st trimester. We might announce it in Christmas cards and when people start talking about it then we will acknowledge.
My bff's sister put it up at 4 weeks. That was crazy to me.
I just announced mine the day before yesterday because it was my birthday. I posted a status that said "My hubby gave me a great birthday present...should be here around May 15h!"
when I posted it I was almost 10 weeks... we told all of our family at 5 weeks. So family and close friends had known for quite a while before we made it facebook official. If it wasnt my birthday, we probably would have waited until 12 or 13 weeks.
I won't be putting anything about it ever. My SIL did this and I appreciated that as I went through IF and I wouldn't want to upset others I may be friends with who could be going through the same.
We announced it on Facebook only after she was born. But that's just us...
Not till after first trimester and dependent on when I start to show. I'm friends with co-workers and I want to hold off telling work as long as possible. Hence can't do the FB thing till after telling work. I was planning on Halloween at which point I will be 14 weeks. But we'll see if I'm showing yet. Not yet right now at 11 weeks but lots can happen in 3 weeks. :D
Other for facebook- we told a few people at 6 weeks, then at 10 weeks after we saw a heartbeat on the ultrasound we told facebook (and after we told the grandparents and great-grandparents, couldn't have them find out from other family on facebook).
After my 12 week apt, and after I had told all my close friends and family.
I might put something up around Thanksgiving - will be about 14 weeks then and will have had the chance to tell all of my family and friends by then.
I didn't vote because I'm not KU yet, but we'll wait until 12 or 20 weeks.
I've had 3 friends in the last year put on Facebook as soon as they got BFP, 1 of which miscarried she she had to "take it back". I do NOT want to be in that situation.
Never. I dont see why it needs to be on facebook. In my opinion this kinda news should be told to people in person or atleast on the phone but not in a mass message on facebook.
Originally, I wasn't planning on posting everything to FB. Then I decided I didn't like all the changes FB was making, and my lack of control over who could see what I was doing online. So I deactivated my account.
Haven't decided if I'm going back.
A girl just announced her pregnancy at 8 months on FB. So now everyone is flocking to her profile like "OMG! One month! We didn't know!"
I wonder what her reasoning was...seems like a long time to announce.
I just mentioned it on my status literally last week (19w). And it wasn't in a classic "We're having a baby!" way.
I should mention my husband isn't on FB and is kind of anti facebook, so my annoucement may be something more casual like @avant mentioned. Who knows.
I keep debating if I should put it on there. I'm not one to share a lot of my life, but I think this is something to be shared. I shared my engagment on Facebook, and my wedding, so it seems like this is appropriate. All of our close friends know, I just had my 12 week appt., so I'm thinking about doing it today. Also, I'm not friends with every person I have ever met, so it's not like I'm telling perfect strangers.
@bells: That's why I'm waiting until now (20wks) because I made sure to tell the family/friends I see often, and let it spread, but I have a lot of friends/family in other states, or people from high school I don't see often or whatever, I want them all to know, but it's much too tedious to call every single one of them!
@RayRayFurious: Wow! That's so late, I waited til halfway through. just to make sure everything is still healthy, and that I had time to tell everyone.
My sister never really made an announcement, she's not an FB type of person anyway but she did post one picture after the baby was born.
I told my family and friends pretty early and as I saw people I let them know in person. I didn't put anything on FB till 20 or 21 weeks when we were going to find out the sex and I wanted people to guess. People who I saw and still were in contact with new from seeing me or me calling them and people who were surprised were friends from the past who I didn't talk to regularly anymore. And that's how I kinda wanted it to be that no one found out on fb who I was close to but I'm also not a huge fb person.
I havent yet but almost did on our year anniversary just to say how blessed and how many changes we experienced in this short year... but didnt. I think I might next week after we find out the sex. I will be 20 weeks next week.
I don't think I would announce. I would prob just post a pic when baby arrived.
I'm not pregnant, but one of the girls I knew in highschool posted about it at 3 weeks, literally when she peed a positive. No doctor confirmation or anything.
ETA: this was not in highschool, this was after college.
not preg yet :(... but prob not until after 12 weeks... I dont know when i would tell our parents though. probably sooner, but when is a good time?
I had a friend just annouce she is 11 weeks i guess she just had her first dr's appointment
I probably won't put anything on facebook until the baby is born. I don't post much on facebook to begin with, and I guess I'm a little afraid I will somehow jinx the pregnancy. I know that's stupid, but I'm a bit superstitious I guess.
What's funny is that I love to see other people's facebook announcements of their pregnancies, and looking at the photos of their bumps.
I’m not planning on announcing it actually. I had wanted to but now that I've thought about it more…all of the people who we're close to will have been told by us anyway. So we won't be making a big annoucement. If I get tagged in pictures when I'm really pregnant it won't be a big deal to me though.
After we tell all of our closer friends and family we will probably announce it on facebook.
nvr. don't use facebook at all. the people we want to tell will be told when we are comfortable telling them, everyone else doesn't really matter.
Im personally not pregnant, but my SIL was 2 months pregnant and shared it on facebook. A few days later she had a miscarriage and it was really an awkward task for me to take down all the "congrats" wall posts so they wouldn't upset her.
Shes now 4 months pregnant and hasn't announced it yet.
I just posted a picture of a onesie I bought at 12 weeks. Everyone pretty much got the idea.
Either ways - I dont have randoms as friends on facebook.
I'l planning on posting something around 20 weeks, once we know the gender for sure. Something along the lines of "Skibobrown and husband are expecting a baby girl/boy in early April". All of our important people know at this point, but I have plenty of other friends on facebook who would definitely be excited to hear the news.
We didn't tell anyone until 13 weeks. After we started telling family and close friends, I disabled my wall so that there wouldn't be any random congrats. I did not mention anything on FB until I was 22 weeks and then I posted pics of our gender reveal party.
my best friend put it on FB right away and ended up having a miscarriage and it was awful when people would ask how she was doing. i think waiting to post something like that it best.
Yup, same here. Once we started telling other people besides parents and siblings the wall became disabled. I didn't want family members and GFs of close friends congratulating me on my wall.
We decided to announce around 11 weeks since we only use FB to keep in touch w/ family and close friends. I certainly wouldn't judge someone for announcing their pregnancy at 4 weeks, but my heart would break for them if they experienced a miscarriage shortly after announcing so early.
I'm not pregnant yet, but when I do (hopefully right after wedding) I plan on not announcing it right away. I will most definitely tell our families and close friends right away but I wont announce it to FB until between 12-16 weeks.
I see gals post right away because of the excitement (understandable) but I also see the heartbreak when people have to break the news of MC. That scares me.
I have not been pregnant before but my family members seem to wait until they are in the 2nd trimester to post on facebook. They will tell the family after 1 month but ask that no one posts on any internet things or tell anyone outside of family until they had posted anything. I'm not sure why but it seems to be what all the girls do!
