I would never give a play by play, I honestly can't handle all the oversharing on facebook these days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lampd-and-facebook-did-youwill-you/page/2#post-396531 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 09:33:35 +0000 Mrs. Train 396531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my twins I know my dad was posting stuff but I was hospitalized four times before the actually did the c section. I think people were taking bets if this would actually be the day or whether they would send me home again. So I think he had one along the lines of "this times for real, these boys are going to be born tonight." Then he posted one of the most unflattering post op pictures of me when my face was all bloated and I was drugged...... Thanks dad. It really doesn't bother me much. He was so excited and I know my family was waiting for his updates. </p> <p>By the way there is no way on this planet I would ever post anything about the size or shape of my lady bits on Facebook. I would have just one an announcement when the baby was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lampd-and-facebook-did-youwill-you/page/2#post-396463 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 08:57:50 +0000 kml636 396463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: good idea, I didnt think of that. I did post a link to <a href="http://www.haveyouhadthatbabyyet.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.haveyouhadthatbabyyet.com</a> LOL !!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lampd-and-facebook-did-youwill-you/page/2#post-396461 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 08:56:39 +0000 kml636 396461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no way... have you seen the site "STFU parents"?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lampd-and-facebook-did-youwill-you/page/2#post-396294 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 02:54:49 +0000 MaisyMay 396294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All of my friends know that we'll be induced a little early, so I imagine that we'll post an "On the Way!" but I would never do a play-by-play! It's too personal for me. Now, I do imagine that if I'm bored I'll be giving you all updates, but that's just part of what the bee is for! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lampd-and-facebook-did-youwill-you/page/2#post-396278 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 02:07:24 +0000 Boogs 396278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't update at all until a few days after LO was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lampd-and-facebook-did-youwill-you#post-396253 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 01:07:56 +0000 sarac 396253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: Haha, thank you, it is a very sweet picture. That's why I let him put it up. The sweetness cancels out the unwashed birth from hell-face. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lampd-and-facebook-did-youwill-you#post-396247 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 00:44:12 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 396247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never update my status now, and certainly wouldn't during labor! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lampd-and-facebook-did-youwill-you#post-396243 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 00:25:10 +0000 PrincessBaby 396243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I don't want to have my FB posts made fun of on STFU Parents! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lampd-and-facebook-did-youwill-you#post-396242 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 00:15:52 +0000 mamimami 396242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like it is a fact that the more people know you're in labor, the longer and more painful your labor will be. So no, I didn't post anything or tell anyone I didn't have to tell until after the babies arrived! And this is coming from a major social media freak. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lampd-and-facebook-did-youwill-you#post-396241 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 00:07:44 +0000 Ree723 396241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope - nothing went up on FB until the following day when DH popped home quick to shower and posted a quick pick on FB. Both families are in different countries so we did call them when we were at the hospital to let them know the show was on the road, but they all knew to not mention anything on FB until we had. </p> <p>I too am a bit weirded out when I see the play by play on FB. On here, I love it - can't get enough of reading birth stories and getting a play by ply of what's going on, but outside our safe little blogosphere, I am not a fan of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lampd-and-facebook-did-youwill-you#post-396194 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 23:04:11 +0000 polkadots 396194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't post until After we got home from the hospital, so 2 days after she was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lampd-and-facebook-did-youwill-you#post-396193 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 23:03:25 +0000 mrsjyw 396193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarac: u r glowing w happiness and lo is adorable!! ♥ that pic!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lampd-and-facebook-did-youwill-you#post-396192 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 23:02:35 +0000 lemondrop 396192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way, we didn't come out of the FB baby closet until the next day. Our parents and siblings knew and my boss since we were e-mailing when my water broke, but that's about it. Everything was too fast and painful for me to even care about FB. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lampd-and-facebook-did-youwill-you#post-396186 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 22:57:44 +0000 LemonLong 396186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in the minority I guess! I posted when my water broke, when I got my epidural, and when the baby was born (well, my husband did that one). Both DH's and my families are across the country from us so no one could be there for the birth since we had a surprise induction. None of our parents text so it was the easiest way to give them progress updates thought the birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lampd-and-facebook-did-youwill-you#post-396117 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 21:56:25 +0000 Smurfette 396117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um, NO!!! I don't want anything on FB till I post a pic of her. Not planning on telling anyone but parents we are in labor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lampd-and-facebook-did-youwill-you#post-396116 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 21:56:11 +0000 sarac 396116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Noooooooo. And here is the very sweet but dear god so bad picture that my husband put up of me an hour after my 36 hour induction.</p> <p>So, it's not like I don't put unflattering stuff on facebook. But my friends and family did not need to know anything about how dilated I was.</p> <p>[attach=2786/12/mdgitn.450x600.newmomme.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lampd-and-facebook-did-youwill-you#post-396105 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 21:50:19 +0000 sorrycharlie 396105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no way! I didn't have time to even if I'd wanted to. I was in too much pain to even know where my phone was or text my mom, never mind update facebook. then once I got the epidural, it was go time about a half hour later, so again - no time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lampd-and-facebook-did-youwill-you#post-396103 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 21:49:43 +0000 Running Elley 396103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't post on FB until the day after I think? My sister posted pictures right away but nothing actual labor related. I'd think that was kind of odd on FB.</p> <p>I definitely updated here though. I feel like that's different but maybe not? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lampd-and-facebook-did-youwill-you#post-396085 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 21:39:15 +0000 immabeetoo 396085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh dear. I will probably post a picture after a few days once everything is settled down, I can't imagine that anyone would want to know that much detail. I would be so mad at my husband if he told anyone, let alone all of facebook, that I pooped during labor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lampd-and-facebook-did-youwill-you#post-396032 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 20:57:00 +0000 Periwinkle 396032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did not say anything on FB until a few days after our son was born. We wanted to enjoy the privacy for a little while and also did not want anyone announcing for us! We had to ask a few people to remove posts, including my MIL!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lampd-and-facebook-did-youwill-you#post-396026 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 20:51:24 +0000 JerricaBenton 396026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope I won't be doing that. I'm not an over-sharer though. I never even announced the pregnancy on FB but people just started posting when my husband told people we were having a girl. I cringe when I see sisters or in-laws posting all the stats/pictures before the mom or dad does. I'm sure some of them don't care but that would really bother me. Turning off my wall when the time comes is a good idea though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lampd-and-facebook-did-youwill-you#post-396021 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 20:50:14 +0000 Arden 396021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I might post something on FB, but I certainly won't be doing a detailed play by play. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lampd-and-facebook-did-youwill-you#post-396016 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 20:47:54 +0000 Bluebonnet 396016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO was born in the middle of the night. I sent out an email the next morning and posted a pic of her on FB at that time. </p> <p>I sent out text to close friends when I went to the hospital, but did not put anything on FB. Our family was instructed not to post anything on FB until we made the announcement, and they were respectful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lampd-and-facebook-did-youwill-you#post-396000 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 20:39:20 +0000 pastemoo 396000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: Ugh. I am pretty sure my husband did a little oversharing. I was kind of annoyed about it but I got over it. He also posted a picture to FB while I was still in the surgical recovery room so random FB friends of his saw my baby before I did. I was pissed about that. I actually forgot about that till just now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lampd-and-facebook-did-youwill-you#post-395999 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 20:38:52 +0000 heffalump 395999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't want people other than family knowing I was at the hospital until lo was here and healthy. Just in case something happened, I just didn't want to deal with people or have to tell people. As soon as she was out and got her perfect 10 apgar score, my mom had permission to share with he facebook world. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lampd-and-facebook-did-youwill-you#post-395992 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 20:33:20 +0000 Mrs. Pen 395992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: I didn't want it on FB either that I was going to the hospital so I told VERY few people.</p> <p>I had a last-minute induction; so I called my group of friends at church and asked for prayers, called my sister and my mom and that was it!! Didn't tell anyone else :)</p> <p>3-4 hours after birth we posted stats but no picture til we got home from the hospital. I was so mad at MIL; DH texted her a picture and then she posted it to FB and it was the first pic of him!! whatever... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lampd-and-facebook-did-youwill-you#post-395978 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 20:23:45 +0000 DillonLion 395978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. Absolutely not. I had a friend re-do her play by play at her LOs first birthday. I deleted her over it lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lampd-and-facebook-did-youwill-you#post-395971 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 20:19:21 +0000 cyndistar3 395971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On my way to the hospital I updated my status to "today's going to be a beautiful day" or something like that and left it at that, then a few hours after lo was born I added a pic and her stats because I was drugged and incredibly bored when DH was holding her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lampd-and-facebook-did-youwill-you#post-395966 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 20:16:59 +0000 mrsjyw 395966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tmi! Ill do an announcement once he's here! I turned off mywall because I dont want others posting/asking/etc about l&amp;d either </p>
