I think my SIL is pregnant

[Deleted]

She's pinning some of my pregnancy pins to a secret board. Like, ones about milk storage and healthy weight gain, not cute outfits

She didn't drink this weekend either. Or smoke.

I hope she's pregnant. She and her H have been trying for ten years.

How can you tell she's repinned to secret boards? That seems like some bad technology on pinterest's part.

I pin to a secret bored about pregnancy, I hope no one can tell.


I hope she's pregnant too!

Yep, she's definitely pregnant (or I guess she could be trying and just be a planner). And I feel a little bad for her that she doesn't realize that you can see when she pins one of your pins. Depending on your relationship with her, I might tell her so the cat won't be out of the bag with too many people.

Yes, I really want to know this! lol

Oh I hope she is too! Are you close enough to her to ask? I'm nosey so I would try to find a way to bring it up casually.

Umm, can people see when you're pinning stuff to secret boards? Because I pin stuff about a hypothetical third child to a secret board, and I am nowhere near pregnant.   (hot)

Hmm, good to know about the pinning to secrets board thing. I hope she is, after 10 years that would be such amazing news!

I think maybe it's bc she's pinning Betty's pins that Betty is being notified of it. Not that she can actually see her pins on an actual board, just that she gets an email saying a certain pin has been repinned.

I get notifications on my app and in my email. But it won't show me where she pinned them. This only applies to her baby pins.

According to pinterest, it does not notify the original pinner or repins to secret boards.

"When you repin a pin onto a secret board:

The original pin won't show a +1 on the repin count.
The original pinner won't receive a notification about the secret repin, who repinned it or what board it was pinned to. " From help.pinterest.com/entries/22303516-Repin-or-like-pins-on-secret-boards

So this is REALLY weird.

Well, they're lying liars who lie.

I'm not going to ask. She miscarried in January, and I know doesn't want to talk about baby things, which I 100% understand.

I'm just keeping my trap shut.

This is why I forced people to "share" a wedding board with me that is really just all my pins but because it's shared it's less sketch.

Was it all at once? Maybe she pinned to a public board them thought, "Duh, should be secret," and moved the, and deleted from public?

Nope, it's been a few pins here and there, originally starting three weeks ago.

I just thought she was making a regular baby board, so didn't think much of it. But now she's pinning more "serious" baby things, and more frequently.

Weiiiird. I'm not repinning anything to secret boards anymore.

NO SECRETS!

[janiejones]

I have two secret boards- One is fitness stuff, which I don't want to share on friends' feeds because I don't like it on my own, and the other is for my imaginary wedding my sister will have. It feels less creepy to keep it secret, since you know, she's not engaged yet.

[JayhawkGirl]

Um, yeah....I specifically looked into that notification thing before starting my secret board for this kiddo. Glad I haven't pinned much to it. Grrrr

[bcv513]

What the heck is the point of a secret board? I have a secret baby board too. Most of it comes from one friend. So she knows I'm doing it and probably thinks I'm nuts. Crap..

Oh, and I hope your SIL is pregnant and everything works out for her!

[mrssandro]

This saddens me to hear that the secret boards are not really secret.
