OPINIONS!!
Okay so I need some opinions on posting your babies pictures on social media once they are born, some people post them right up there for everyone to see and some don't and at first I was all for pictures being posted as soon as they were born with the weight length ect. But now I'm starting to change my mind I'm starting to feel like it should be a very private thing that is only shared with family and close friends after all if your important enough you will come to see the baby at the hospital or the first few days he or she is born and if not well then you must not be very involved and you don't need to see he or she anyway! And it kinda freaks me out to think that you never know who is seeing that picture of your newborn so what's everyone else opinion is it okay and the norm to post their pictures all over social media or should it be kept private??

I have family and friends in other countries and I only want the hassle of posting one time, so Facebook it is. However, I have my friends list super paired down and my privacy set really high

This is true and same for me. I don't add strangers for a reason why would you have "friends" on social media where you share stuff if a baby pic is too private for it 😟 but to each their own
I understand the feeling of wanting it private but I have friends and family all over the world so for me it's easier to just post one photo and have all my questions and responses in one place vs having 30 people text me at once. At least as of now, I plan on posting my pic and Info. That way I also don't forget to include anyone :)
What Annie said. We're still deciding. I've had a couple friends who just texted around photo & stats to friends and family and then a week or so after made a social media thing (maybe with limited settings?). I've been trying to pare down my friends list, and took the time to make family lists so i can choose how public or private certain things are! It's definitely good that you're being aware of it ;)
I don't worry a ton about posting pics on Facebook but my privacy settings are super high. I also have family all over so it's the easiest way to share with everyone. I'm still not posting pics for awhile being as my husband is overseas we aren't sharing anything until I've skyped with him and he's seen the baby. I literally only use Facebook to share pictures of the kids and stuff with family and friends so I'm not worried about sharing pics of the baby once I'm ready.
We definitely will. We have a joint Facebook account and all of our friends and family throughout the country are on there. We want all of our family to be able to share the special moment too-that's the benefit of Facebook in my mind anyway! I'm way closer to more family members since having it being as I wasn't making weekly calls to long lost aunts thousands of miles away but now they can see and we can message and be closer than we were 😀
