Does your Facebook know about your struggle to conceive?

Question

I'm considering announcing to my Facebook that my fiance and I struggled to get pregnant for almost a year and a half. I want to do this because all my Facebook is under the impression our pregnancy was an incident. I don't like the thought of people thinking we were irresponsible and that my baby boy wasn't wanted. They think this because of our age. I'm 18 and he's 21. I want our Facebook friends to know that our baby was much wanted. Is that to much of a personal situation to put on Facebook? Am I letting it bother me too much? Im just so excited about this baby and I want to share with everyone how much it means to me to finally be pregnant. What's your opinions ladies? Do you put on social media about your TTC struggles?

Answer

Its up to you.  If it would make you feel better do it, if not don't.  I personally don't share that kind of stuff but I'm very private.  The people that know about our struggles to concieve are people that I'm very close to and care for deeply.

Answer

I feel like its to personal and they most important people would already know 😊

Answer

I personally like to keep my personal business off of fb. The people who really matter to you should already know.. but this is just my opinion.

Answer

This sounds totally like a personal preference. While I don't think you should have to defend or explain your pregnancy to anyone, I found myself doing the same thing when people seemed to have the wrong idea about our plans to have children. Frankly, I don't think it's anybody's business to ask or even outwardly assume anything about such an intimate situation between you and your partner. However, I have been encouraged to hear friends speak out about their difficulties with TTC and enlightening their friends and family about how some comments can be extremely hurtful when you don't know what someone may be going though. If you think it will continue to bother you until you speak, maybe try to come from the heart and use it as a time to bring awareness to the sensitivity revolving around starting a family and TTC. Best of luck in your decision!

Answer

My husband and I are the same age as you and your SO and going though the same! I had a miscarriage in December that I never told anyone about, besides family, because I didn't even know I was pregnant yet. When I told my boss in June that I was finally pregnant she said these exact words "What are you going to do about it?" I was in complete shock. I bluntly told her my baby wasn't an accident and I wasn't going to "do" anything about it except celebrate! I sometimes wonder if I should let the people on my Facebook know that our baby was planned, because I have ran into some very opinionated people on my friends list (usually family). I have many reasons for starting my family so soon and I don't think I should have to justify myself, but sometimes it feels like I'm being judged for being happily married and expecting at 18. Congratulations on making it here mama! What day are you due? 💕
