One of the girls at MY baby shower tagged me in a congratulatory post on Facebook 😟

Was I wrong to remove the tag?


The only people who know I’m pregnant are the people I’ve personally seen (as in, in person) my close circle, people who’ve bothered to make time in their lives for my family and us to hang out.
That’s 2 of the football moms and their very close relatives (the girls moms and one of the girls brothers)
These two girls and their families have been good friends of ours for 4yrs now, we’ve literally taken a few weekend vacations together

The third girl did not know I was pregnant (the one who posted my news on Facebook)

Other people who know
My oldest sons best friends moms; because their sons have been allowed to go no where during COVID except my house so the moms have seen me during drop off/pick up

My mom and mother in law
My brother
My husbands brother

And only 1 of my aunts (my moms oldest sister)


I have 5 other aunts and uncles on my moms side who have zero clue I’m pregnant, my entire dads family doesn’t know I’m pregnant, and my husbands dad and his extended family also does not know I’m pregnant heck not even my husbands sisters know I’m pregnant!!!


I feel bad that I removed the tag but like I was clear today that we haven’t made the pregnancy public knowledge.

When she showed up she said “what a well kept secret!” I said “thank you we hope to keep it that way for 4 more weeks until we can announce the arrival of our healthy baby boy”


I mean I thought that was clear enough. I didn’t even allow my mom to throw me a baby shower 🥺


I was super touched one of my close fiends did my second friend also helped and the hosts mom and sister were there. And obviously their husbands but these are the only people I’ve seen during this pregnancy.

Literally no one else knew

Am I wrong for concealing my pregnancy from the rest of the world? (Only other people who know I’m pregnant don’t personal know me, like the cashier at the grocery store & my neighbors)

Facebook drama! One reason why I avoid it. :) However, you are correct because she had no right to broadcast the fact that you are expecting to anyone other than those to whom you wished to tell. She did not respect your wishes, and if she says anything tell her that you don't want it publicized because carrying the child is stressful enough right now and you need to be well rested for the delivery date, not dealing with a million well wishers who will be calling, texting, contacting you on Facebook, etc. The information is embargoed until after you deliver the child, then she is free to congratulate you in public.

@toddr13 thank you!
Especially considering I’ve lost so many pregnancies trying for baby #3 I don’t want to deal with the negativity or questions or comments about it

@KaysHealingPath And you don’t need the stress. She should respect that.
