How would you feel..

[levelone]

Close friend of 25 years, god mother to my children (and vice versa), bridesmaid at each other's wedding, blah blah blah (you get it, close friend) posts pregnancy announcement on Facebook and I find out the same time as her acquaintances!!!!!
Would you be hurt by this?

I had similar before, with another big life announcement and yes, I was a little upset.

A close friend of mine didn't tell me until they were 20 odd weeks as they had some health concerns regarding the baby and wanted to wait until the all clear. Wait until you get the story from her before you express any upset with how she's gone about telling you.

Before Facebook I told my mom I swear that pregnancy announcement got more likes and comments than any Facebook post

I wouldn't be upset. I found it extremely awkward telling people about my pregnancies one on one and for the second one just chose to make a general announcement as it was easier. It was no reflection at all on my friendships, I just don't like things to be all about me like that.

Your friend might have been worried about her baby and not want to tell anyone in case something bad happened. You never know, but guaranteed her choice to announce on fb had little to do with you.

I think you're being over sensitive and glad you changed your message to something more upbeat and supportive :) Try not to take it personally.

Omg I hate this crap.
Why do people feel so entitled to know before other people I just don't get it
You're making it about you. Just let it go!

I’d say she wanted to tell everyone at the same time- in the grand schemes of things I don’t think it alone is a huge deal. Unless you feel some insensitivity given your miscarriages

I can see why you might feel put out, but remember this is the friend who supported YOU through five miscarriages. Friends like that are hard to come by. Had you sent the message asking where your friendship has gone wrong you could easily have lost all that.

Well I know I would be extremely upset. I would also want to send a WTF message. Listening to MN and sending a nicer message, as you have, is probably the right thing. However, I just wanted to say that I understand, I don’t think this is making it all about you, and regardless of whether I did the right thing or not I would still be hurt
