I'm heading to the hospital is fine...but PLEASE stop it there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-post-updates-on-your-childbirth-on-facebook#post-742029 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 12:19:20 +0000 lawbee11 742029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not planning on saying anything on Facebook until she's born. I will text updates to my family/close friends.</p> <p>ETA: Oh, and I will update Hellobee, of course! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-post-updates-on-your-childbirth-on-facebook#post-742024 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 12:17:14 +0000 lomom 742024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't update Facebook about my birth in progress. I had a c section, it wasn't scheduled but they didn't let me labor either. LO showed signs of distress so they waited until it had been 8 hours since I last ate and then delivered him. </p> <p>He's 11 days old and I still haven't said anything on Facebook. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-post-updates-on-your-childbirth-on-facebook#post-741929 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 11:46:47 +0000 sorrycharlie 741929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did not. Realistically it went so fast I didn't even have time to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-post-updates-on-your-childbirth-on-facebook#post-741884 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 11:29:37 +0000 Dandelion 741884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope...I mentioned nothing about the fact i was in labor. I'm so so grateful for that, now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-post-updates-on-your-childbirth-on-facebook#post-741875 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 11:26:59 +0000 MaisyMay 741875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I mostly posted here while at the hospital. I was in labor nearly 38 hours and I was bored. On FB I did post "Progressed to 3 cms, may start active labor in next few hours . I am on a small dosage of pitocin, had morphine earlier. Epidural will come at some point in the next few hours.." My next post was a baby pic! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-post-updates-on-your-childbirth-on-facebook#post-741861 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 11:23:11 +0000 lovehoneybee 741861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I posted twice...once after we were admitted (and I was all epiduraled up) that said we were hoping for a McBebe that day, and another about 12 hrs after the birth announcing his gender, name, stats, etc. We weren't going to do it until we got home but my father decided to take it upon himself to share the news with my family on FB and I started getting wall congrats and then questions from my friends that aren't friends with my father. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-post-updates-on-your-childbirth-on-facebook#post-741855 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 11:20:19 +0000 cascademom 741855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I didn't post anything on FB until the night of his arrival. We also forbade MIL and other family from posting anything on their FB as well until we were ready to announce. On the Monday during the day before I went into labor, I turned off my FB wall. I didn't reopen it until 7pm the next day when he arrived. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-post-updates-on-your-childbirth-on-facebook#post-741850 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 11:19:40 +0000 mrs. bird 741850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i have no idea what we'll do once the time comes, but i will say, i like seeing other people's &amp; sharing in their excitement =) i keep my fb pretty small though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-post-updates-on-your-childbirth-on-facebook#post-741844 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 11:16:21 +0000 blackbird 741844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not for all to see but I texted updates to friends and family as I progressed. It was really nice getting good luck, you can do it, etc texts throughout the night :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-post-updates-on-your-childbirth-on-facebook#post-741839 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 11:13:46 +0000 .twist. 741839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We will post something once he's born and cleaned up. Otherwise, FB will not know we're even at the hospital. Unless of course someone in our big mouthed family says something..... uh oh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-post-updates-on-your-childbirth-on-facebook#post-741830 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 11:10:49 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 741830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't, but I love it when other people do! I think I posted a few updates on twitter, though. For some reason twitter seems more appropriate for that to me. I'm not sure why... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-post-updates-on-your-childbirth-on-facebook#post-741770 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 10:56:26 +0000 mrsmate 741770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, DH and I were both so tired it didn't even occur to us until 2 days after DD was born to post to FB. I don't think we would have anyway, we're both pretty private. We didn't even announce the pregnancy until the 3rd trimester. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-post-updates-on-your-childbirth-on-facebook#post-741433 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 09:40:37 +0000 bunnylove08 741433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH did, just telling people we're at the hospital and that she came </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-post-updates-on-your-childbirth-on-facebook#post-741429 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 09:39:20 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 741429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't had a baby yet, but I wouldn't want FB knowing how many centimeters I'm dilated! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-post-updates-on-your-childbirth-on-facebook#post-741340 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 09:11:17 +0000 Mrsbells 741340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope I wanted to focus on us and not be posting on facebook. I think its personal. If something does go wrong its so much harder to deal with </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-post-updates-on-your-childbirth-on-facebook#post-741333 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 09:10:20 +0000 mamabolt 741333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hell no, we posted a pic of LO about 8 hours after she arrived. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-post-updates-on-your-childbirth-on-facebook#post-741327 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 09:08:39 +0000 wheres_c 741327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I didn't want anything to go wrong.<br /> I updated here though </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-post-updates-on-your-childbirth-on-facebook#post-741317 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 09:06:03 +0000 Bao 741317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No updates here, no one but my sister and DH's bosses knew we were at the hospital! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-post-updates-on-your-childbirth-on-facebook#post-741308 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 09:04:25 +0000 prettylizy 741308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't post anything until after she was born, then I posted a pink picture that said "It's a Girl!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-post-updates-on-your-childbirth-on-facebook#post-741292 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 09:00:45 +0000 yerpie110 741292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope, we just posted when she was actually born. i was too paranoid of something going horribly wrong, plus i just didn't think it was necessary for the whole fb world to know what was going on. we called/texted/emailed our family and close friends and DH gave them updates throughout, but that was it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-post-updates-on-your-childbirth-on-facebook#post-741284 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 08:59:23 +0000 pui 741284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not pregnant yet, but I will probably post when I start labour and an update when the baby is born.</p> <p>I think the details inbetween are TMI for for most of the 100 friends you have on your Facebook. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-post-updates-on-your-childbirth-on-facebook#post-741283 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 08:58:52 +0000 illumina 741283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never seen anyone update Facebook with progress updates.. maybe just a "we're on the way to hospital" and then the birth announcement. No other details though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-post-updates-on-your-childbirth-on-facebook#post-741273 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 08:56:32 +0000 oliviaoblivia 741273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't update FB, but I did update HB. We posted on FB two days after she arrived. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-post-updates-on-your-childbirth-on-facebook#post-741195 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 08:25:15 +0000 LuLu Mom 741195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't mind a "headed to the hospital" post however I get a little squirmish about the play by play details, some things just don't need to be public knowledge in my opinion! I didn't do anything, we were induced and the only people that knew were our immediate families &amp; my coworkers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-post-updates-on-your-childbirth-on-facebook#post-741192 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 08:24:56 +0000 Smurfette 741192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only posted once she was here, hours later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-post-updates-on-your-childbirth-on-facebook#post-741188 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 08:24:01 +0000 BelugaBean 741188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't post updates really but I did post when I was headed to the hospital. I wasn't going to but we got stuck in traffic for a long time so I was trying to distract myself (I also called my mom). So I just posted that we of course hit horrible traffic when I finally got to head to the hospital. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-post-updates-on-your-childbirth-on-facebook#post-741185 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 08:22:43 +0000 SAHM0811 741185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't post while in labor, but I don't mind seeing other people's updates... it's exciting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-post-updates-on-your-childbirth-on-facebook#post-741155 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 08:15:11 +0000 Boheme 741155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I won't post updates because I'm really private on Facebook but I do love seeing other people's :) I get very excited for them. </p>
