Has anyone else not announced they are pregnant on any social media platforms and to family/friends you don’t see much?

I lost my little girl at almost 22 weeks. We announced on Facebook with her so I also had to let everyone know we’d lost her. So I didn’t announce my next pregnancy on Facebook until very late (because I couldn’t hide my bump any longer). I was scared in case I lost him too then I’d have to tell everyone again. It’s your baby so it’s your choice! Maybe if he wants to show off the scan picture he could send it to the people he wants to show it to in private messages? I had a little group chat we’d use to keep close family updated xx

I never announced on FB and I’ve never posted photos of my daughter on any social media. People who know us see us regularly and anyone who lives far away I send photos by private message! If he is insistent on putting a scan on then I’d get him to wait until 20 week scan when you know baby is healthy xx

I never announced my pregnancy with my youngest on social media. I say it's because we found out she was poorly, but honestly I was 20 weeks when we found that out so really, it was simply because I didn't feel like letting the world know, especially when we had told friends & family who we see and speak to very regularly. Telling people who I probably speak to or see maybe once / twice a year seemed pointless & then after we found out she was poorly we didn't feel like having to have painful conversations with people who didn't really know us.

I will say though it may be a situation where you have to make the decision together because it could possibly cause unnecessary stress. Does it really matter if he announces it? At the end of the day if randoms who you havent seen for a while start asking to come for snuggled tell them no. But at the same time if you really don't feel that's something you want then maybe make a comprise.. don't make an announcement but don't keep it secret either. If that makes sense? x

We lost our second baby at 17 weeks. We didn’t announce our 3rd at all. Not on any social media. We told our very close family and friends who we see and that’s it. Some of my family didn’t even find out until he was born. We’re not big social media people anyway. But I didn’t ever feel like it was something I needed or wanted to share with the world. Do what’s right for you and sod everyone else

We told very early to our family, but no social media anywhere anything, managed to put pics of me 8th month pregnant with no sign of bump,..

Very unsure of whether we will put it when baby will be born.

My other half was understanding, as I felt more secure with people not knowing things 🤷‍♀️💃

He really want to make announcement of birth, but not sure about it, 🤷‍♀️

We didn’t announce our pregnancy until gone 20 wks but by then I had already got rid of lots of people on my fb. I decided that I would be putting pics of LG at some point and I didn’t want some so called friends to c. Have u thought about doing a social media cull? Do u think that would help? Xx

We had loads of issues with family when poppy was about 6 months old and two of her godparents just stopped speaking to us so after that I decided if they couldn’t be bothered with her I didn’t want to give them a second chance. I’ve said this for ages and the whole way through our fertility troubles however now I’m actually pregnant it’s really hit home how many people don’t bother anymore! X

I didn't announce my pregnancy. I waited until Theo was 2 weeks old to post a picture of him, now we regularly post pictures (about 2 a month) but thats only because my partners family live in Poland and don't get to see him very often x

Anybody of importance we told in person. Family, close friends,family friends, so I didn't see the importance of announcing to social media. I had completely forgot that I hadn't until I posted how I was excited that I was due this month and there were a couple people who were "omg I didn't know, congrats" 🤷‍♀️ it honestly was very easy to keep it off Facebook as I don't post much anyways

Yeah I only announced I was pregnant with my daughter because my mum was going to do it if I didn’t... so yeah pressure really...

Next time round it will be off Facebook, no one but who I see in person will know...

I may post a few pics after birth to share to family I can’t see directly but depends :)

But yeah going to be very quiet with it next time round :) xx

So, my husband put in fb our photo in 7 month pregnancy, because I asked him not to do it early

We annouced on fb this time, as I now try to purge my fb of people I haven't spoken to in the last 3 months, but no one on fb knows the sex just that we are expecting, We have a lot of family all over the country/world so it's alot easier doing it on fb xx

My husband put both scans on Facebook I asked him not to tag me and a lot of people don’t know but the essential ones to me do. I wouldn’t have it any other way
