I was just wondering if any other august baby mums have not decided to announce on social media, I’m stuck between posting something and not, I enjoy the bubble of just me, my partner & close family knowing but then also don’t want to hide my pregnancy but don’t feel the need to share to everyone on social media as it feels more for celebrities or influencers to make a big post about having baby xx

Honestly I did at 12 weeks but literally just because my mum already told everyone 🤣 I think I realised literally no one cares or should care if I’m having a baby, I’m posting on social media for what? Family that I haven’t talked to in over a decade or people I used to know in school? As I said I did once just saying were pregnant and that’s it, not even for the gender reveal party or anything

I think everyone will have their own idea on this. I’m not much of a poster anyways.i like to limit what people see.

I didn’t announce it with my first and won’t be with my second either! Whilst I did initially share some photos of him when he was a baby, we’ve decided not to show his face online anymore, so won’t be with this one either!

I've never shared any of my pregnancies or children on social media. I consider it private to close family and friends who actually check in only. But that's me as somebody who stopped posting much long before my first pregnancy

I didn't feel the need to share but still did a close friend story on instagram (11 persons) to announce it for my close friends and family that I believe would be happy to know about my pregnancy/delivery xx

i’m not posting publicly til baby is born, compared to my last pregnancy it’s really nice having some privacy and only close people knowing aswell as nobody in my business 😅

I did a jokey announcement about how I was at a whisky distillery but couldn’t drink at 6months on Facebook lol. Most people I cared about knowing already knew. It was more of a “mop up” by that point.

I have yet to make an announcement on my social media. Only close friends and family know x

I posted something similar here a few weeks ago. Il be 6 months next week and I've not posted anything. Social media goes through me lol 😆

I haven't posted anything, just haven't felt the need. All my close friends and family know anyway so it would purely be for social media which I didn't want x

This is so dystopian lol. You don't have to announce anything on SM. Its not hiding your pregnancy to not announce it to people you don't speak to on a regular basis. I think we have become so conditioned. But do whatever you feel comfortable with
I just had my first baby at the beginning of September. I’m turning 34 next week and have been struggling with whether we should have more children. We tried for a few years for our daughter so it wasn’t easy. And I’m not a dinosaur or anything, but I definitely feel that way when I think about having another baby in the next couple years 👵
At the same time, my step son who we have part time is 10years old so my little girl would be an only child. I had my little sister growing up and now we are so close. I know the beauty of having a sibling to grow with. I worry about her being lonely 🥺 Especially since I don’t have family or friends with kids close to her age or with children at all.
Any advice/wisdom?

Hey yall so I'm looking for that one friend I can call when I'm bored and we chat about anything and everything, someone open to all conversations and isn't afraid of communication, if something I say (I'm unfiltered) rubs you the wrong way, let me know, I'll fix it. I feel as if I'm pretty funny and I find a lot of inappropriate things hilarious. I'm gross lmfao we all pee we all poop and we all fart etc. if your down to get to know me feel free to message.

Will it ever get back to normal? I’ll preface by saying my fiance is great, he’s doing as much as he can when comes home from work both with LO and with household tasks - laundry , cooking, cleaning. He’s trying to be supportive of me, telling me I am great mum, always tells me how pretty I look etc. But we are just in this roommate mode and don’t know when will that change. He sometimes tries to initiate but I’m not really interested in anything intimate. We have been not having penetrative sex since probably March as had some pregnancy complications with my placenta, just lots of hand stuff. Now I’m two months postpartum and we have done some hand stuff again but that’s it. I can tell it bothers him, but I’m just really not interested. During the day all my focus is on the baby, and in the evening when we home I just want to relax. This is obviously effecting the rest of the relationship and I feel like he’s starting to resent me. I just don’t know how to fix it? I don’t want to have sex just to fix stuff, but also know it most likely won’t repair without that part as well. When will I feel desire for intimacy again?
