I'd love to hear your experiences/opinions of sharing your due date with people, plus who you told (if anyone) that you'd gone into labour.

I have seen first hand and heard many stories of people going over 40w and getting hounded by calls, texts, emails, etc.

I'm tempted to give people either a vague date eg "end of March, early April", or a fake date, maybe a week later. Is that just silly and deceptive?

And what about labour? I don't think I want anyone waiting in the corridors. Is it OK to tell people once it's all over?

TIA
