Posting Baby

Personally I don’t feel the need to post things about my pregnancy or plan to when my baby is born, I also don’t really do social media anyway but the people I want to know, will know about the baby. That’s just how I see it 🤷🏻‍♀️

I think having mixed emotions on this is totally normal. I feel the same way I want everyone who’s been there for me to see how precious and loved my baby is. I also know many people are anticipating seeing that baby right away especially as a interracial couple. I keep most of my posts on a pretty tight privacy setting, however - I am dealing with some in law issues and I really don’t want to share with them any ounce of information about the birth or even a picture of my baby. I am choosing to pretty much not post anything. I feel fomo in a way, and maybe some will view this statement as selfish but honestly the way they have treated and not even trying to amend anything the past 9 months is on them and their entitlement “were the family” will not slide by me. What really pissed me off the last straw was on new years they posted an old family gather on new years with pictures of my husband and his ex girlfriend saying happy new years - disgusting

this app is technically social media so I can't say I don't use any but this app is the only one I use. I just idk it's weird but I wanna believe it's normal to want nobody in my business but I've had comments made to me on here about me faking my pregnancy bc I won't share "proof" and that's just wild to me

You know what idk how to tell you this but you and I are in some highly relatable bs together 😂 only instead of just in law issues I have my own family who was so inappropriate and disgusting about my relationships and legal issues that they don't even know I'm pregnant lmao and this app being my only social media I do Not plan on telling them I'm having their first granddaughter lol I'm glad (in a sad, bittersweet relatable way) that you feel it too. It's like wtf my baby is gonna be cute too let me post it but oh no creeps and weirdos lol especially that interracial comment...the people who don't even shut up about my interracial unborn child....disgusting. I'm legit here if you wanna talk about anything feel free to message me bc this is wild and dumb and I'd love to have relatable girlies

Ive posted one thing which was our announcement. We have rules about what can be posted online for our families.

I'm glad to hear that. Boundaries set and respected x

I haven’t posted anything on SM for this pregnancy at all. I don’t feel obligated to either the close people and family all know about her imminent arrival.

no i get it, there are tons of pedos online and generally mean spirited people. the only way i might post my baby pictures is if i had a much smaller following and made my account private. even on my announcement i used the stock photo ultrasound that was included in the template lol.

I don’t show my son’s face and I don’t plan to ever show the new baby face. I used to post his photos until I saw people were downloading them. I also had an issue with relatives that that had blocked me and had nothing to do with me having his photo printed out and hung on their walls. Pictures off my page. It just made me very uncomfortable. I don’t know if it’s perverts or family drama but with how advanced AI technology has gotten I have just decided my children don’t need to be advertised on the Internet. I totally feel your mama.

Haven’t even posted that I was pregnant on my social medias because my dad cyber-stalks me and harasses me. I’m not a big social media person anyways, but how he reacted to me getting married, and the fact that some people we both know will tell my business to him, makes me so over it. You’re right, people are gross and disgusting, never post baby clothes that aren’t fully clothed at least for that reason. The way I figure it, is if they don’t know/interact with me enough to hear from me PERSONALLY that I’m pregnant, they aren’t really a significant part of my life ANYWAYS. I private messaged plenty of people to announce the news, and invited people actually in my life to the baby shower. Anyone else can hear it through the grapevine or never.

But I mean, all those things aside, your child can’t consent to you posting yet, so it’s not like there’s any harm in not posting about them!

that's funny lmao great choice to use the default bc everyone DEFINITELY didn't think that hard about it 😭

People seem to forget about the AI CP scandal and the amount of creeps who use random peoples kids to develope these horrible sexualized photos of children and the thought someone does that is horrible but knowing I can save my daughter from that years ahead is keeping me balanced. Some people are legit so disgusting and AI tech is only advancing unfortunately

The fact there are creeps even here on Peanut isn't shocking just saddening. With technology advancing every day it's just gross and I'm not gonna take away my little girls privacy just for some meek Congratulations and likes on the interweb. But Congratulations on your baby tho and idk exactly what your dad did but fuck him and I hope your pregnancy turns out amazing x

yes, peanut is still an online platform so yeah! Creeps everywhere. Thank you! No need to go into all the details rn about my dad but it’s well deserved for him not to be welcome in my life 🙃🙃🙃

I’m literally in the exact same boat. I commented about not sharing my son’s photos due to family, but it was 100% In-Laws. I am about to have my second child with my husband and they’re still saying I’m racist. The “ evidence” is my boundaries. Like you said, they say things like well we are the family so we have a rights. Threatened to sue me and went to drs behind my back. The in-laws have gotten his entire family on us so there’s not one person on my husbands side in support. I feel guilty but the boundaries were very reasonable and clear. They have tried to separate my husband & I since before we were married. they found out I was pregnant and lost it. (Long story but essentially his mother wanted him home as her future caretaker) it’s a hard situation

it’s growing at a very scary alarming rate. A lot of the creators are even talking about how it’s developing faster than even they expected. I’ve already been accused of taking things out of context, but I really don’t feel like I am.

I fe you. Both my parents have 0 idea I'm engaged or pregnant or even alive at this point lmao I'm here if you wanna dm ever x

taking what out of context? Personally it's just too much and I refuse to put my child in harms way despite everyone being like "you're letting them win!" Like no not really. I'm not giving them free material

I’m blessed to have a good mom and siblings 🫶🏻 but yeah ya gotta do what ya gotta
