My mom posted that we had dropped the dog off and maybe it was happening, except, I got sent home, womp womp.
I know some people posted congrats before we posted officially, but I didn't really care. I don't think we even posted she was born until late that night after family had left the hospital.

No Facebook posts until DS had arrived.
We did text a small group of people that we were at the hospital, then that I was about to start pushing. I regret doing that, because I ended up pushing for 4 hours and people were worried about me. Next time, all info will be on lockdown until baby is here and we're settled into recovery.
Nobody except immediately family even knew that I was induced. I am very private in a lot of ways and I was very clear that there was to be NO sharing of any information until after we did. We didn't even post on FB that she was born until we were home....so 2 or 3 days after she was born.

I feel bad for my SIL. She probably has no idea that he is doing this nor did she think he would. I don't know her that well because there is a language barrier (she's from China) and they just moved here 2 months ago and I've only seen her once since they moved back, but from the small amount of time I've spent with her, she seems pretty private.
I never posted either time when I went in (well we never even announced my first pregnancy on FB!). Just a picture and info after the girls were born.
My husband kept a very detailed facebook record of both labor and deliveries. I wasn't tagged in any of the statuses. I knew he was doing it though. Sigh...
DH and I both shut down our walls when I was in labor, which worked in theory but didn't prevent my brother from posting "Welcome to DS's full name" on his own page before we announced. He just wasn't able to tag me. I wouldn't post centimeters but if the next one takes a longer time I may say something, who knows.
No. I didn't even call friends or relatives to update them on the progress of my cervix while in labor. It was stressful enough for ME to be wondering how long it would take me to get to 10 cm, I didn't need anyone else speculating about it.
Oh hell no. MH's half sister's mom posted all that shit on FB- 4 cm, feeling good, 10cm, ready to push! Oh god, I would have killed my mom. No one needs to know the status of my cervix! I didn't even post that my water had broken, just said when he arrived.
No, but we never put anything on there about being pregnant, so when we did post pictures a day or so after he was born, some people were very confused!! We didn't purposely not put anything about being pregnant, just never did, so it was a surprise to people we don't see or talk to often. I got induced and we did tell our families and about five friends about that.
I had a scheduled CS so we posted pretty quickly after we were back to our room so people wouldn't worry. I had forbidden anyone except my parents from being at the hospital.

No, but I gbcn while I was having some contractions the day before. Labor was too fast to fb and I threatened people with unfriending in real life if they say anything on fb before I made an announcement. But we don't find out the gender in advance, so it's fun share.
We didn't even tell anyone I was in labor until 2 hours after DD was born... So, no.
This is me - I flat out lied to our families about being induced and started "surprise! we have a baby!" calls a few hours after birth. We specifically said "no fb!" as we told everyone we called.
I did tell gbcn but that doesn't count.
Yeah, I lied about my induction, too. As far as family is concerned, I just happened to go into labor and needed pitocin to augment. In actuality, I knew a week in advance when DD was coming.
I posted 3 weeks after her birthdate that DD had been born. Never announced my pregnancy on there either. She came before I had a chance to tell some of my OOT friends IRL that I was even pregnant. I had to tell all those people first, and then post on FB because I know they would've hated learning that kind of info from FB.
