Why would it be wrong hon?  Social media is a choice and not a mandatory part of life.  Some people don't use it at all or have accounts and others use it all the time.  It's a personal preference.  This isn't a right or wrong kind of question.  It's just what you want to do.  good luck

NOPE I am and feel the same exact way! The only reason I made an announcement 2 weeks ago (and I'm 19 days away from my due date) is because so many people were confused about the day of my baby shower that it would have taken me forever to individually respond to the particular people that I invited. In today's society, people post too much of their business on social media that it no longer leaves anything to the imagination anymore. That's why celebrities love the one thing they can barely have anymore - privacy. It's your baby and your life, and no one can govern how you want to live it. Some people will be mad that you didn't tell them, but is it their business? Probably not? Are they a major contributor to your life emotionally or financially? Probably not. Are they carrying your child and will raise it? Hell no.

I think there's nothing wrong with your decision. I am actually doing the same thing. Im on my second trimester also and didn't post even a single hint that im pregnant. No one knows aside from my family. It's not that im not proud of having a baby it's just i feel that i don't need to post it cos its my personal life and i owe nothing to others. I just feel that it wouldn't do any good if i post it. Better enjoy my whole pregancy with nothing but my family. My boyfriend and i agreed into it. He also think that it'll less stress on my side to do so. Btw we'll be posting pics when the baby is born its much better that way(:

Cel1990 ^ iagree. Same here w.my 1st & 2nd yeah iwould post pictures of my kids on fb. But last yr ihad a miscarriage so . Ijust stopped using fb. Idnt want anybody in my business cause itook it hard. && ppl asking you just made it worse like there just asking you they arent emotionallly helping you u kno? Now im 18wks pregnant & no one knows except for my family. So , idnt think your wronggg. W.my miscarriage & this coming babyy ive havent told anybody ppl are just gonna figure out im pregnant once iget bigger they can figure it out by themselves, icould careless if the world knows you kno as long as important ppl in my life are there to support me.

I posted stuff constantly and still do, but only because my boyfriend and I have so many family members that we don't usually get to see since they live far away so they love seeing the updates through my pregnancy and now that my son is born as well! Totally a personal choice though(: goodluck mama

sorry for your loss & okay just making sure I wasn't in the wrong

I haven't posted anything on social media with this pregnancy, I did with my first and second but my second ended up in my son being stillborn and it was heartbreaking having people who didn't know message me asking if I had they baby yet or how was my pregnancy going. I also have alot of women on my social media who i know are struggling to conceive and I don't want to be bombarding them with how things are going when I know how hard it must be for them. So no you are not wrong, it is completely your choice.

just wanted to make sure I wasn't in the wrong  . thanks

I don't even have any social media accounts, and I asked no one to post anything about my pregnancy just in case. I agree, it's no one else's business (:
