Folks, this just happened to me, and I am beyond pissed, especially since I didn't even announce my pregnancy on my own Facebook profile. My SIL announced the birth of our child on hers. Other than family we have no one as common Facebook friends so now all if these people who I don't know have been informed this before my child was even 24 hours old.
If you are thinking about doing this, please don't. Allow the parents their time to make a decision about how THEIR news is shared and in what manner.

@grizz: my MIL is the same! We said no photos on FB of our son unless they ask and we say ok. MIL has posted numerous albums that are just full of our nephew & we're not comfortable with that. She complained & said she'd "try to remember". A month ago I posted a photo and she shared it without asking. DH was livid. She didn't seem to understand why, but again said she'd "try to remember". We decided if she does it again, we'll block her from seeing any posts we make with LO in it. I think if she posted a picture(s) without asking. DH would report her to Facebook!

Ugh...my SIL started posting stuff about how she's going to be an aunt and babysitting her niece on social media before we announced our pregnancy to most everyone in person, let alone on Facebook. I didn't announce on FB till about 17 weeks due to a previous loss, and she was posting stuff back when I was 10 weeks...I will have to have a talking to with her, my cousin, and my aunts...they are my biggest concerns. Neither of DHs parents or my dad have FB so no worries there...
Regarding the death announcement, I did post something about my mom's passing on FB, but it was after everyone like family and good friends were told and it was more so I didn't have to keep getting ahold of other people...I was pretty emotionally drained. But I think that's different than a cousin or someone posting immediately.
