Expecting? There's A Setting For That On Facebook

Expecting a child? There's a setting for that on Facebook.

Congratulations! Facebook users can now share the news of an impending birth. The option to list an expected child, along with due date and name, appears within the family section of their profile.

Our sister site, Inside Facebook, was the first to break the good news when the feature was still in testing on July 27. It’s now live.

To add this, visit your own profile, scroll down and look at the “Friends and Family” section in the left-hand column; click on the pen icon that designates editing.
