Announcing on FB Clicky Poll

[stretchad]

If you announced on Facebook, how far along were you?

I announced at 10 weeks I believe. That was when we had our first ultrasound and heard the heartbeat. I'd planned on 12 weeks but I didn't make it.

I believe I was 16 or 17 weeks when I announced to facebook.

I was about 10 weeks or so. I was kind of excited.

I want to announce super bad, but H thinks it's unnecessary. Maybe it is, but I want to tell the world!

who voted doesn't plan on it? I think that is really what i'll end up being.. because he doesn't want to. but I want to.

why are you deciding not to announce?

I didn't announce on FB, I don't use it much and we told everyone in our lives that would care in person. Plus, I'm pretty private, and don't like people knowing my business.

Announced earlier this week, at 16 weeks.
However, i posted a picture of the fortune cookies we made to announce the pregnancy to family and close friends, and no one got it.  Dh posted the same picture (both of us posted it as our cover photo) and almost no one got it.  I was kind of disappointed at first, but when i changed my profile picture to an old hiking picture, it got twice the response the announcement did.  They'll figure it out eventually  So if you want people to realize that it's a pregnancy announcement, avoid subtle!

i am pretty active on fb (update/post maybe once a week-ish..)..i comment on friends stuff probably daily. it is the primary way i keep in contact with a lot of friends (local and out of state), and out of state family...

we told everyone we wanted to know first, and then announced. first time, at about 13 weeks, this time at 10 weeks.

FWIW: my husband did not want to announce on facebook. He is in the camp that people in our lives will know, if not, whatever.

this sounds exactly like my h.

so why did you decide to announce it? just for fun? i probably won't tag h in the post, so all of his fb friends don't see it, since he doesn't care if they know.
