Social Media?

[schenner2]

How many of you have or will post pregnancy annoucements/ gender of baby on facebook or other social media sites?  Tomorrow we have an ultrasound which will hopefully be able to determine the gender of our 2nd baby. I will be 20 weeks.  I have not posted anything about being pregnant however, my close friends and family know.  My hubby wants to post a picture of the ultrasound tomorrow after we have told our immediate family.  I am not sure how i feel about it.  My privacy settings are set high and i do post pictures of my 2 year old however, for some reason i have reservations about posting a pregnancy annoucement this pregnancy. I do know 2 people who have had miscarriages in the past few months and maybe that is why i am hesitant?  Anyone have any thoughts on social media and prego annoucements? Just looking for some idea of what peoples thoughts are.  Fyi i am an infrequent poster! Mostly pictures every couple weeks for my relatives who dont live near me.

I didn't post anything on there till my ultrasound and was told I'm having a boy from then on I posted a belly shot cause friends were asking. Lol   my hubby could not wait he posted something as soon as we found out.  I how ever kept it more private.  And my proximate settings are also high

I am pretty private too. So I havent posted any ultrasound pics. But after my last ultrasound my bf mom took it upon herself to post my ultrasound on Facebook.  And I got so upset because I didnt want it on Facebook.  And it had all my personal info on the top of the pic. Ugh Facebook is good sometimes but other times not so much

I read a lot of good points! I was very excited after i got my last ultrasound at 19wks and posted a picture with the sex of my baby... completely regret it. Social media shouldn't be for personal matters. My own opinion! Although it may change. I say go with your gut feeling! And what feels comfortable to YOU!

I think some things are private, and personal. If live away from family so I share personal scans and whatnot through private messenger, whatsapp or email. I have put very little on facebook. Some things are left best to the special people in your life. I think they would feel special too, not just seeing along with your 100 FB friends who you may not even really know that well.

Im a facebook addict,i post a lot of pics on there mainly because i live in west of ireland and all my family live in Dublin and i dont see them a lot so its great they can see pics of my kids and i can see pics of my neices...when it came to pregnancy announcement i waited til my first scan and i sent them all a private message with the scan picture,i didnt put my scan pic up publicly coz i just felt sending it to them and telling them in a private message was more personal...when i have my baby though i will put up a pic publicly...do whatever you feel comfortable with it
