antenatal baby scans on facebook

[FagEnds]

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

YABU I have loved seeing my friends scan photos on fb and posted my own. I only have actual friends and family on my fb so no one I wouldn't want to see it anyway. My profile is set on the strictest privacy settings so no one else can access my photos. If they bother you don't look at them.

Medic friend of mine posted a picture of his obstructed small bowel (taken during surgery) on Facebook...

A few days later it was his son's birthday, so you're happily flicking through pictures of his son's birthday cake and suddenly come across an operating table.

That truly is innards!

I love the 4D ones, yabu.

I am soon to fly to the Czech Republic for donor egg IVF. I am a childless hag of (almost) 42. If I am blessed with a baby I think I'll sprint down the M6 screaming the news..

a v graphic representation of someone's insides would be a photo of a person perhaps during surgery with their innards splayed out - a scan is not extremely graphic in detail.

My DH put my scan picture on Facebook (and tagged me in it) without checking it was ok with me first

Good luck Jewcy!

ps why have fb friends who you only know by name? Perhaps change settings so your primary friends feed to your newsfeed?

I'd just be happy for the person involved. Delete her if you can't find any interest in her happy news.

I put my 20 week scan pic up and my friends and family loved seeing it. I only have friends and family on facebook -- ie people who are happy to share my happy news.

I don't mind people posting their photos of their unborn/newborn babies on Facebook what does bother me is people slagging me off for not wanting my Boo plastered all over the net. Apparently that makes me a bad mum :D YANBU.

After 11 yrs of infertility/TTC I will be posting my 12 week scan pics all over the place. I have a select group of true friends on FB who I am sure will all be shocked and delighted for me

Aw I'm delighted for you Lollipop. Congrats!

I like seeing people happy about their pregnancy and their babies on Facebook, it's nice when people are happy about things and want to share.

YANBU, I think its a bit strange but that's because I wouldn't do it myself.. I generally remove future posts from said people from appearing on my notification page.. Problem solved...

I've refrained from posting mine. I did however take a picture of a letter DSD had written to her friend saying I have a baby brother in Kyrpt's tummy.
That way only people who bothered to properly look at the picture would know.

I have just realised this might have been a bit twee

I like seeing people's scan pictures. I feel happy for them that they are so excited that they want to share it with everyone.

They are just trying to share their joy at being pregnant. Why would you judge a friend for being excited about being pregnant ?

We are TTC after a miscarriage , when I fall pregnant and remain pregnant I may post my scan photos , thankfully my friends are not judgemental nobs and they will share my joy, rather than sneering at me.

People post so much unnecessary information on Facebook, but sonograms are nice. YABU.

I personally didn't want to, but I don't mind if other people do. I love seeing other people's tiny scan pics, I think they're cute. If you're feeling angry about it or disgusted by it, maybe this says more about you than about them?

Yabu.

Its not a graphic or gory image of a operation or something nasty and whilst I wouldn't do it myself its not a abnormal or offensive thing to do.

eBay sell grips,you need one.

YABU. Scan pictures are one of the happier things to be found on Facebook. I love to see a friend's scan pictures; if it offends you, simply de-friend anyone who wants to share their baby scan with you.

...and I've never even noticed the "innards" on a scan picture! I suppose a frame of uterus is there, but the baby is the focus of the picture.

I'm with the OP, I just don't like seeing scan pics or just emerged babies...I'm happy for them but don't see the need for such intimate parts of your life (hopefully not body) on FB.
I see the suggestion of defriending people who do this, tbh I wouldn't defriend someone I know is pregnant in case it upset them. That's not saying they give a hoot about whether I'm their friend, I just think the people who dopost scan pics etc tend to be the more avid FB users who would notice such a thing and I think it's a bit mean. But I still don't like the pics.
Also one of my friends just shut her FB account as she's been TTC for ages and was fed up of all those pics, our group of friends from school seem to be all having babies right now, I think it is quite painful to be reminded all the time taht lots of the other girls have what she really longs for.

Ah RaspberryRuffle I hadn't thought of the TTC angle. You're right there. Although I have had a fair few FB friends, who were TTC for many years, post scan pictures when they were expecting at long last...
