I'm not sure I want to see pictures of someone's innards on facebook. A bit too much information?

Wouldn't bother me to he honest but not sure I would have done it myself.

NickNacks · 04/05/2013 18:10

I don't mind actually. It's lovely to be a part of family pregnancies who are abroad.

VeremyJyle · 04/05/2013 18:10

Thinking of an ante natal scan as "someone's innards" is akin to describing a baby as a poo - they are both expelled from the body no?

freddiemisagreatshag · 04/05/2013 18:10

You just mean a scan pic? Or something else?

HollyBerryBush · 04/05/2013 18:13

I agree with you. People just have no dignity these days

PickledLiver · 04/05/2013 18:14

My baby is akin to a poo. She is mainly made of poo Sad

HollyBerryBush · 04/05/2013 18:15

NO, innards would be your organs. Poo would be stuff.

shoulda been a doctor, me

baby tickers - another one ... I'm amazed they don't start from day one with 'jizzed up my box'

It's hardly a graphic representation so yabu

FoxyRoxy · 04/05/2013 18:21

Yabu the only "innards" to be seen is a uterus which is basically fuzz around the actual baby. If you don't approve of people posting scan pictures then say so, don't use an excuse.

squoosh · 04/05/2013 18:23

YANBU.

No one is interested!

FagEnds · 04/05/2013 18:23

If it's not a graphic representation, what is it? Also, once a picture is on fb, it's out. You are not simply sharing a photo amongst friends. Ha ha! Perhaps a slew of tooth x-rays and gut movies are the new order!

OP posts:
crashdoll · 04/05/2013 18:29

Are you really comparing an x-ray of a tooth to a unborn human? Hmm It doesn't really bother me, what does bother me is seeing photos on FB of newborn babies still covered in goo.

FagEnds · 04/05/2013 18:31

I expect that'll be next. Can't wait... At least by then, all things being equal, the child will be breathing air. But what is basically a medical procedure?

OP posts:
PickledLiver · 04/05/2013 18:31

I'm due a colonoscopy but I've been putting it off. Maybe this is my reason to have it done. My lucky friends Grin

FagEnds · 04/05/2013 18:35

Grin Your lucky friends indeed! Compare and contrast! I would worry that these images spread around the place and arrived back. Rather like chinese whispers.

OP posts:
FagEnds · 04/05/2013 20:12

So.. what is the most unsuitable and distasteful thing that has arrived on your facebook page? I mind because I do not want to know the intimate details of someone I know only by name.

OP posts:
kungfupannda · 04/05/2013 20:14

I'd rather see a picture of someone's inards than read the constant innermost thoughts and feelings of a couple of people I know who are incapable of censoring the "not appropriate for every man and his dog to read" out of their posts!

stopmovingthefurniture · 04/05/2013 20:14

How needlessly provocative. A baby is not your innards. Your innards are your innards.

Fairydogmother · 04/05/2013 20:15

YABU

For gods sake someone is just trying to share their news with friends. Don't have so many people on fb that you don't know well enough to be happy for them!

I don't like people's baby or child photos as profile pics tho - keep your own identity!

Having a baby is such a huge part of your life, I don't know why it's a problem sharing it on FB.
