To be upset for finding this out on Facebook?

[Greycloudofdoom]

I found out my best friend is pregnant through her Facebook post. She’s 12 weeks. She was one of the first people I told when I was expecting, and she’s my sons godmother. I haven’t and won’t say to her I’m a bit upset, but AIBU to be a bit miffed? I just thought she thought more of me than to let me find out at the same time as 500 others..

Just be grateful she announced it. Someone I thought was my best friend didn’t tell me she was pregnant, I turned up to visit ( doesn’t live near me, we spoke a lot via phones ) and there was a three month old baby

See that I find weird. Not announcing, fine. But how do you not at least mention on passing to someone you talk to frequently unless you're deliberately playing a game

I can understand how OP feels a bit upset as I think there's too much sharing, too much posing for photos, aiming to get the perfect look, can have unrealistic aims about life. But I've seen local groups that help, offer to collect shopping, the charity worker at the supermarket asked for chocolates for children at a local refuge last Xmas and within a couple of days also had toys and presents for the mums. We have someone who collects prescriptions, charities who work with families and help with food, clothing, furniture etc.

My fb account is private though

I really do not think this is a measure of what she thinks of you at all.
They just want to announce it to their friends and family. It is their great good news!
I really think people do worry far far far too much about these things. Your friend have not excluded you at all.
It is a happy announcement, and no reason for you to be hurt just because she did not announce it to you the same way you did to her. We are all different, and her announcement will reflect her and her partner's personalities.
Have some and and do not feel upset about it
