Anyone else hesitant to share to social media?

Question

Not sure why, but I’m hesitant to share news of the pregnancy to social media. Anyone else feeling the same?

Answer

We aren't sharing to social media. I can't understand why it's become such a big thing to do. 
It's like a massive weight off people's minds... when they write "finally announced on social media". 
Do things your own way, do or don't post, this is your journey, society doesn't dictate that our lives be stripped bare on social media xx

Answer

Yes, me! 🙋 One reason is from loss, then watching the heartache as others announced while we were grieving and recovering. So just our personal preference now. Oh, and also I'm lazy. So there's that. And I partially just don't care of others know. So there's also that.

Answer

Yes! We’ve had two early losses so I was like well I’ll announce in the second trimester. Then 13 weeks hit and I was like nooo.. I’ll wait. Then we found out gender at 16 weeks and I was like I’ll announce after we get our blood work back to make sure everything’s fine at 18w. Then I decided I’d wait until 20 weeks because we’d be halfway. 20 weeks today and....now I’m contemplating waiting until 22 weeks for our anatomy scan in case we were told the wrong gender at 16 weeks. Lol I could announce without gender but the announcement I have with it is so cute!

Answer

I am too. I don't have the care to find/make an announcement that's not incredibly overdone or tacky. But I also don't really want to just write "we're pregnant". And I definitely don't want to just start posting pictures of my newborn out of nowhere in Janurary with no warning lol 
I really like your announcement though! I wish we lived close to a beach, I'd totally steal that idea lol

Answer

I’m 20 weeks on Tuesday ... I not even announcing I am pregnant on social media people will realise when they see me with my bump or on a pictures with me with a bump  I have told my friends and family no one else really matters 🤷🏼‍♀️ I have a lot of people on my social media that are people I just know not people I hang out with x

Answer

Yep. Feeling uninspired to share in the sense that ... I don’t know. Our close friends and family know, and why share with mostly people we don’t otherwise keep in touch with? 🤷🏼‍♀️ I guess there’s some extended family on there who I’d want to know but not many.

Answer

I only announced to family and Facebook everyone already announcing at 6 weeks and doing gender reveals I feel like if I do it its a “trend” close friend know and that’s like three or four people that’s it.

Answer

We never plan to announce at social media until I safely give birth.

Answer

I won't be posting to social media for the same reason as a few others have mentioned- two past losses made me feel like it's not that much of a priority for everyone in my extended network to know my business! So I'll just post something after the baby is born.

Answer

I don't think we are going to announce with this one on social media. We announced with our daughter at 22 weeks. I have really awful pregnancies, with my daughter I was hospitalized for 6 weeks straight from 32 to 38 weeks and spent at least 2 days a week in the hospital from 21 to 32 weeks. I'm in the same boat this time around and I already find it exhausting constantly talking about how I'm feeling and explaining that "yup, we wanted one more and it's only 9 months of my life" to the people I see regularly. We are having Christmas pictures done in December so I guess it will be obvious then but we will put an announcement up when baby gets here.
