The sanctions have started, but should I share before giving birth?

If you say the sanctions have started, I think you shouldn't get too caught up in momentary things. Increase communication with your doctor, make sure to keep your phone in quieter places. After all, you can share as much as you want after giving birth; no one can say anything.

I think it makes more sense to keep it private. After all, the time for giving birth is approaching, is it really necessary to spend your energy on social media? Keep in mind, sending a short message to the family helps you maintain balance.

But isn't it a bit of a problem that everything has to be so secret? If your family wants you to share something, sending a couple of photos shouldn't be that hard. After all, you're experiencing something like giving birth, so why be so uptight?

Birth coaches generally do not recommend sharing such moments with stress, because it's important for both the mind and body to stay relaxed during this process. Social media can draw everyone in. To experience the moment more naturally, they suggest reflecting before sharing a story or photo.

So here's the thing, my family is saying to write yes, but what I’m worried about is everyone suddenly knowing and asking. Did the contractions start, did you go to give birth, etc. I want to stay calm; it feels strange to write to everyone like that 😅

Well, why don't you say something directly to your family? For instance, have you ever told them, 'Don't pressure me, I need to relax'? When you mention social media, do you feel more pressured by your family or your social circle?

I think there seem to be other issues with the family, it can't just be about this story. Normally, not posting a photo wouldn't be such a big deal. Is there something deeper, I don't know, but it kind of feels that way to me.

I want to say something, when you share something at the moment of birth, it's said that the baby can be affected by the evil eye or something. Was that why you didn't want to share? It's a bit old-fashioned, but I think it could make sense 😳
