We want to announce

Jade

Some of my family are a bit over sharing so I’m worried that hey will announce the birth/labour of my baby before I get chance

Instead of personally asking them and them feeling victimised I’m thinking of posting this on Facebook

What do you guys think ?!

Just talk to people directly it seems passive aggressive to me to post this to Facebook. If you don’t think people will behave then just not tell people your in labor until you’ve had the baby and you are ready to post your announcement.

Just don’t saw anything until the baby is here. And talk to them directly if there are grandparents who will be watching any other kids.

Just change your social media settings so nobody can post on you page or tag you without your approval.

That’s what I was honking. It’s my sister in law I’m worried about and I know she will still post just without tagging me ... 😣😣

I do this but my mother in law still posts stuff and just doesn’t tag me or my husband. So her whole family (huge) sees announcements and pictures anyways 🤷‍♀️

Totally a good idea. I did this with my daughter. Everyone assumed I was in labor. But it worked.

Thank you !! It’s just she’s the first baby in the family so everyone is so excited and I really want me or her dad to be the first to post on Facebook as I think it’s our right as parents ❤️

In only telling our parents and my husband's sisters and asking them not to tell anyone until the baby is born. I don't want visitors until the next day and I dont want any phone calls till the next day either.

Hopefully they will read and understand the intention. A new baby in the family makes certain people throw out considerations and modern day wishes

I would post to FB and also maybe group text your family members! Then they can’t use the excuse they never saw your post lol
