Facebook has introduced an ‘Expecting The Baby’ option as a life event, allowing you to add what is undoubtedly an exciting future development to your Timeline. I can imagine expectant parents rushing to use this, but as with most things Facebook, a little caution is advised.

For starters, placing the event on your Timeline makes it a little easier for smart-arse friends to check out what you were doing nine months before the due date. Not such a good look if you’ve posted drunken party pictures for that date. (This is a reminder of a more important general principle: drunken party pictures on Facebook are often not a good idea.)
That’s my initial take. What do you think? Tell us in the comments. (If you’re already drowning in Facebook baby pictures, check out Unbaby.me.)
