I'll say first of all, I'm normally a big fan of Facebook. I use it to keep up with far away family and friends. I also have a fair few 'facebook friends' that I knew from school, uni & a few other places that I like but am not exactly close to.

I'm 27 weeks pregnant and for various reasons have made no mention of it on fb whatsoever. Not all my fb friends actually know I'm pregnant. So AIBU to be pissed off at someone (very close to DH but not me) posted on my wall for all to see "so where's all the pictures of your baby bump?" They've obviously noticed I'm keeping my pregnancy off FB, so surely they could have been a bit bloody discreet about wondering why?

But if you don't want people to know you are pregnant then you need to tell those who do know that you don't want people to know and it's not up for discussion. It is completely unreasonable to expect people who know you're pregnant not to mention it anywhere once you are say past the twelve week point. No mention of it doesn't equal people should assume it's not to be mentioned -

If someone was so secretive about their pregnancy that they excluded people from knowing about it, then it is not unreasonable for those who have been excluded to assume that the pregnant woman probably doesn't actually encourage their interest in her baby either...

True, OP should've informed the people who knew to keep it off - I didn't engage my brain there Grin
