Yes, I actually do. I think FB is an excellent way to keep in touch with friends and family and since I have less opportunities to meet with friends face to face, I can at least keep up with them online. It's also a nice medium to update friends and family with my LO's progress.

Of course, I understand how it can be not so nice to read other people's happy updates if you're going through a tough time. People just need to remember that Facebook is not reality since very little people post when they're feeling down.

i enjoy it the same. i'll bet i'll be on it less once the baby comes, just because of time.

I hate it. suddenly your life seems to be much more important for other people to discuss once your pregnant and have a baby. I basically use my facebook now to make sure others aren't uploading pics that I don't want up there.

I think I'm enjoying it slightly more. It makes it easier to reach out to mom friends for advice and questions. I get faster responses than if I individually emailed everyone. Plus, people I didn't think of as a good resource sometimes chime in.

I enjoy it as much for 'stalking' purposes as I did prior to TTC, however, I've definitely spent the last few months putting up my privacy settings and shortening my friends list. I use FB mainly as a photo sharing site with my friends near/far and would like to continue to do so, but want to limit the people that can see future baby photos.

Back when I was TTC, Facebook was difficult for me to be on. Especially when other ladies were pregnant or just had their babies. Seeing pictures and reading status updates would really get me down, especially since getting pregnant took us a good 6 months. Now that I am pregnant, I don't mind being on Facebook. I like to update here and there, I've put up a couple of belly shots. No sonogram pictures though. I have respect for those who may have a hard time that I may not be aware of. I tend to keep the details private, although if anyone were to ask I'm an open book and have no problem sharing

I'm definitely on FB less now that we're TTC. It's tough to see all of the pregnancy announcements and baby pictures. I've gotten to the point where I hide most people with kids or pregnancies. Once we're pregnant, I'll be able to handle it better. For right now, it's just too much for me.

I probably use it about the same. My family really enjoys when we post pictures of the baby, though, we don't have time to do so too often unless it's a quick mobile upload.

I'm kind of over Facebook. It started earlier this year and it really doesn't have anything to do with TTC or being pregnant. I just feel like a lot of people on Facebook just use it to brag or to complain and that bothers me. I might have more people hidden than not. I will announce our pregnancy at some point on there but not yet.

I stay on Facebook for one main reason - to keep up with friends and family who post pictures on there. I do the same thing - post pictures. That's about all I use it for. I closed off my wall so no one makes the mistake of congratulating us before I tell everyone!!

When I was pregnant, I didn't post anything about my pregnancy...There is just ONE picture of me on there with my preggo belly. But once LO was born, I posted pictures of her. I figured pregnancy is harder to stomach for TTC women than the actual baby. The process, not the product is the hard part.
