    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!!!

    not about our pregnancy but about the birth of DS. My DP had only told my mum, who rang my brother to let him know. I was unconcious and bub was in NICU, but before I had bub I had told mum to make sure SIL didnt announce it on FB (she had been writing not so nice comments on fb the whole pregnancy) until I had the chance to ring my father. Ofcourse SIL did anyway, and posted "sorry to hear you failed to have a normal birth, hope bub is ok in the end" that was the message! which caused a masssive family fight, friends were upset, I was still out of it for 2 days after bub was born so poor DP was trying to deal with it all.

    needless to say she was deleted and now I'm blocking my wall until I have told people this time around.

    Not entirely the same but I found out through FB that my grandfather had died.... A cousin posted when I was at work & my parents were still at the nursing home, they hadn't wanted to call when I had a long drive ahead. So I got home was browsing FB & found it. Not happy to say the least.

    I think it is so rude!!
    I have been fortunate enough not to have this happen but I think I would be slightly upset if it did.
