Facebook Pregnancy Etiquette 101

Facebook Pregnancy Etiquette 101

Jun 10, 2011 | IVF & Being Infertile | 8 comments

Trying to get pregnant and being on Facebook causes serious misery. From “big announcement” status updates drowned in exclamation points to nursery pics (YUCK), it all sucks.

“Omg, did you see my ultrasound pictures?!”

I understand why you feel the need to share. But the barren girl next to you in the status meeting is the last person in the world who wants to hear about it.

“Why are you so bitchy?”

There are few times in life where people feel it’s OK give you advice on your weight. Unfortunately, when you are trying to get pregnant is one of those times.

“Did you try putting your legs in the air?”

Ah, another gem for the “Captain Obvious” category. I can’t even count how many people told me this over the last year and a half.

“You just need to relax. Then you’ll get pregnant.”

If you tell someone they need to lose weight to get pregnant, you’re basically calling them fat. By telling me I need to relax, what’s that saying?

If you're going through infertility and want to see our journey, start in June 2011 (first two cycles) or January 2014 (third cycle). Hopefully reading about our rollercoaster with assisted reproduction brings you a little hope, and more than a few giggles.
