Outing Another's Pregnancy on Facebook

[Maruschke]

It also frustrates me when people announce your birth on FB before you've had a chance to break the news yourself - happened to me! Next time I'm turning my wall off

I saw this happen very recently and a friend of the new mother gave them a huge talking to. It is so rude.

I had it happen to me when DD3 was born... by the one friend who insisted noone was to put anything on fb about her baby after the birth.

I've had a few people disappear from FB (deactivating their page) until they are ready to tell people. It happens so often now that I kind of figure it is happening before they come out at 12 weeks.

I have accidently posted something on someones wall It was even someone here on BB
Lucky she must have been online and saw it quickly to delete it. I honestly wasnt thinking at all - she was into her 2nd tri and was 'out' on BB but not FB yet.
I didnt actually post a congrats on the baby kinda post but something pregnancy related which still would have told people she was pregnant if they didnt already know. Sorry again PB if you're reading this xxx

I had someone out the sex of my baby on my FB page. My best friend didn't want to know so I repeatedly told people not to mention the sex...... yup, someone mentioned the sex. UGH!

i had the chick at Target layby announce my pregnancy to my MUM! yes, i'd told mum, but ffs! i was 8 weeks and layby'd some stuff - the chick there is a friend of a friend, someone that knows mum and I but only just. DH picked up the layby from there, and a few days later, mum had to put a layby on - and she announced to mum about my pregnancy (in front of my intellectually disabled aunt - that didn't know!) - i was furious (so was mum - a very nasty letter went to the store over that one!)

Yep annoys crap out of me!!

My SIL posted on my fb wall before I had a chance too was not happy and DH did not understand why!!!! GRR

I also had someone at work tell people I was preg with DS1 befre I had made it public!

Oh this has recently happened to a friend of mine too!

After several mc's, they were waiting until 12 weeks to make their current pregnancy known, and someone went to her MIL's page and posted congrats, when they hadn't told their family yet, just a couple of friends to "set the info free" (to stop them exploding with the joy!).

They had wanted to save their family from any possible heartache....THEN after that blew up and there were several arguements about who spilled the beans...now, at 18 weeks, someone has just spilled the beans publically about the gender!

Its just not fair!!!
