When will you post about your pregnancy on Facebook/social media?

Question

My husband and I were waiting until after the first tri, but now I'm waiting until we know the gender. I've enjoyed being able to tell people personally instead of them finding out on accident through social media, but I'm still excited about announcing it on my Facebook and Instagram. We find out what the gender is on the 29th!!

Answer

Never, I have told most oft closest friends via text or phone call. I don't feel that the whole world needs to know my business. I am very private when it comes to the WWW.

Answer

Never. It helps that I don't have Facebook, and we don't want to share that news via any social media, and we also threatened anyone from sharing it on social media.

We're pretty private about our lives and social media holds no guarantees that anything we share will stay private.  When baby is born, the same will go with pictures. No pics of my kid will be out there unless it's on a pass protected site. I don't want any creeps stealing my pictures either for their own sick pleasure, or to pretend the kid is their own.

Answer

My hubby wanted to wait until we knew the gender, but we found out around 15 weeks so we announced it then :). At that point pretty much any family/friends/ important people already knew, so it was really just to inform the random people on our friends lists

Answer

Initially I wanted to wait until I finished my first trimester but I'm 18 weeks and still haven't posted anything. Boyfriend wants to post it on Facebook because he's super excited, and I said he could go ahead but I'm not posting it on mine. He seems to think I'm ashamed which I'm not- it's just not anyone's business. People love to be nosey and I hate that. I've already told close friends and family so most likely will announce on Thanksgiving Day (I'll be 27 weeks then).

Answer

Our families know. I haven't decided if I want to formally announce on Facebook. I might after our vacation next week. I'll be closer to 20 weeks.

Answer

We decided to wait till we knew the gender, which we found out a couple days ago. It's a boy!! 😁😁 my sister was so excited that I gave the "okay" to post it on Facebook as long as she didn't tag me or my husband in it. All the close family members and friends know and we don't have any other friends in common besides family, so it's no biggy. We're going to take some cute pictures this weekend probably to announce it to social media. We figured at least until after we knew the gender so it could just be 1 big post. I don't care much for Facebook these days anyways, so the longer it doesn't know the better 😉 it's bad enough having family members hounding us about every detail (especially the name now) without having random FB friends doing it too. Maybe I'm just being a cranky prego woman that wants to be left alone to my naps and junk food  lol

Answer

Never.

Answer

We told out families when I was 15 weeks and then posted on Facebook when I was 18 weeks and we knew the gender.

Answer

I told family and close friends in person or by phone. I announced on fb at 12 weeks.

Answer

I had to announce earlier then j planned because I was in my sister in laws wedding and it was very obvious that I was pregnant as this is my third.  I wanted to be able to tell people so I announced the day of the wedding
