How much baby related stuff do you post on facebook?

[obi]

DH and I have only posted an announcement photo. We waited until the week of Xmas to do it. Nothing else at all. Probably won't post any more either. I have family that are annoyed with me for keeping the name/sex private but I really don't care. They know what it is but I feel no need to reveal it on fb until LO arrives safe and sound.

I don't do it super often. I post a status about 4-5 times per week, and I've posted about five baby-related statuses since we announced around Thanksgiving. They're usually related to other aspects of my life or social networks, or specific milestones (like today I posted that my ticker said 100 days to go). I don't post any of those, "OMG so much heartburn and my hips!!!1!" posts.

I only posted an "announcement" after we had told all of our family and most of our friends, probably at around 14 weeks. It included a picture of DS wearing a shirt that said Big Brother on it -- super creative. I have a private, password protected blog that I use as more of a pregnancy and kid-related journal and place that family members can visit for updates. DH has FB but never posts anything and is really sensitive about having a lot of private info online, so I'm pretty sure he'd pass out if I posted a bunch of details about my pregnancies on FB, but mostly it's just not my style. I do post pics of DS on FB probably around once a week, so I'm not completely opposed to social media, but for pregnancy stuff I prefer to keep it to one on one contact with closer friends and family.

Nothing. No announcement. No ultrasound pictures. Nothing on Instagram either. I do have a group chat with my family and send all ultrasound pictures and baby updates on there.

I'm in the nothing group, I'm pretty private so if I care for you to know then you know. We told our parents to keep it offline as well. Coming into this pregnancy from a loss it just feels right not to share it with the Facebook world.

Nothing until baby is born, then WHAM - pictures! We like the element of surprise for our FB friends. The people we really care about have already been told. I am down to about 1-2 pics a month now.

I post more infrequently now than back in the day, in general (maybe once a week or so if at all), so I'm not lighting the keyboard on fire over here. As for baby stuff in general, we post funny DS stuff from time to time, and literally just posted the fact than we are having another baby last night actually...went with the pics below since we thought they were funny and less "ZOMG it's a baby!!" - that's not so much our style.

I post things more often then most of you, mainly because we are so far away from family and friends and they are usually asking us anyway. I'm not the type of person to clog up someone's newsfeed but I do post about the exciting moments (like feeling the baby kick for the first time or that appointments are going well). I've given some thought to stepping away from it soon. It's addicting and I don't want to post our son all over the Internet after he's born. We have family on both sides that don't really care about security and like to share people's stuff with the 1000+ "friends" they have. Even though my stuff is set to "friends only", his aunt shares a lot of my pictures and they are public (how that's possible, I don't know...). People I don't even know are liking and commenting on this stuff. I also have an aunt that shared pictures of my house and people were asking her the location and she was just giving it out to people. I like to keep that information private so crazy people don't know where to find me. *sigh* So, either I will stick around and really cut down the few people I have or just walk away awhile.

I don't have a Facebook (shocker, I know). I do have an Instagram that I have posted probably 4 pictures on about being pregnant. It's not really me to post a bunch of stuff anyway.

I made a separate page that way my friends can choose to follow the page if they want to see anything pregnancy related. I am having twins so people were pressuring me to post ultrasounds, updates, etc. but I really didn't want to annoy people with it. This way only the people who want to see my pregnancy crap do. I probably post on it once a week to every 2 weeks-bump pics, ultrasounds, random comments from strangers, etc.
