I didn't do it. For one thing, I didn't want anyone of my IRL friends to see something I peed on. For another thing, especially after our miscarriage, I wouldn't want to announce right away and then have to go back and tell everyone and their mother that we lost the pregnancy.

We announced at 13 weeks, after we got the results from our NT scan back. I posted a picture of our 12 week ultrasound, and said "(DH) is going to be a Daddy, and I'm pretty sure it's mine."

Eck, I have to agree with you. I do have a picture of the test. But I sent it to NO ONE. No one, most likely not even your SO cares to see where you peed to prove that you're prego. Jeez.

I agree. pee sticks dont need to be on facebook. its different on here because this is a baby and parenting site, and we post a lot of stuff that is typicall TMI. but it just seems too much for facebook.

I wouldn't post a pregnancy test on fb. I think that says a lot.. Im queen of tmi.

I have a LOT of fb friends who have done this. I always just shake my head. One girl posted the pregnancy test the day after she took it!

@chopsuey119: whatever are you talking about? YOU overshare? Never.

Ive seen that a lot too.
I announced it by posting a onesie

Yeah, all I can think right now is ewwww...there are much cuter ways to announce.

I'm not a fan of announcing pregnancies on FB, either with a pee stick or an ultrasound. Bump pics or other stuff are ok, but I don't need to see something you pissed on, and the inside of your uterus shouldn't be online, IMO.

I don't know, I guess I can see both sides of this argument so it doesn't really bother me either way.

On the one hand, you just peed on that, I don't need to see it. On the other, if you don't really feel like getting creative and I can't see the pee drips, then I just don't think about the pee part.

Same goes for ultrasounds. It does kind of gross me out that people are putting up pictures of their uterus for the world to see. I just try to focus on the baby part of the picture.

As far as it mattering WHEN they peed on it- who cares? It doesn't bother me if someone tells right after they found out or after 12 weeks or whenever... It doesn't affect what they are telling. In fact I think it might be even stranger if they get to 12/14 weeks and still post the stick, as I think most people have ultrasounds or something baby (small gifts) to show by then, but either way I don't really think it bothers me. Now if it had the cup of pee on the counter next to it...yuck.

I don't think it's gross, per se (the ultrasound pics)-- I just think that people are way into oversharing and that some things would be more "special" if they were kept between friends and family? That's why I'm anti-U/S and HPT on FB.
