Sharing on Social Media
My husband and I were ttc for a year and had two miscarriages the year before. I had lost multiple pregnancies in a previous relationship which totals to my current pregnancy being number 7 with no live children.
When deliberating announcing to our friends and family, the best option to tell everyone was Facebook (we are military and have friends all over the world so snail mail was unrealistic). After the initial announcement we talked it over and decided any further information and pictures would be posted in a 'closed group' where we had to manually add people who specifically requested to follow our journey. Our theory was not everyone wants more baby - related posts in their news feed (I like them for the most part but I can undrstand why some people would be annoyed) and after struggling with infertility and loss over the years we knew how difficult it would be for some of our friends to have a constant reminder that it wasn't their time yet. Basically I'm posting this to give other women/couples in our situation another option for sharing information on social media. Please note that I'm not saying we're better than anyone for doing this nor am I saying that people who don't do it are rude or careless. I merely wanted to share this if anyone was on the fence about posting their milestones for the same or any other number of reasons.
