How much is TMI?

[lbsjob87]

AIBU or am I just a prude? I am shocked with the amount of pregnancy/birth information some people are sharing on Facebook lately, but I don't know if I am BU to think that. So, straw poll please.
These are three entirely unrelated people I know who have all posted what I think are inappropriate comments in the last few months.

1. a male friend of mine, whose wife I have only met once, and who made no secret of the fact he and his wife were trying for a baby, and kept saying things like "going to give my little swimmers an outing tonight, straight to Planet Baby". Then when she got pregnant and had a baby wrote something about "judging by the state he left his mum's bits in, he's probably going to be an only child for a while. "

2. a friend of a friend (I don't know her, but my friend's comments appear on my timeline. She put: "Hoorah. Goodbye mucus plug, now come on baby."

3. a relative who live tweeted her sister's labour cm by cm, including the need for stitches afterward. She was saying things like "So proud she's at 3cm already. Keep going."

Now, AIBU or are any of those scenarios appropriate?

DS1 fractured his knee. They syringed two cups of blood off it. He took a picture of the cups. I asked him if he was going to post them on FB. His response was ' Urgh no, who would want to see them?'. Some of his mates would have it as their profile picture.

The pic is on his phone and he occasionally shows people if asked.

I don't think dilating is over sharing. I let people know when I was at 4cm and getting an epidural. I kept it sorta vague after that. It felt too weird to give everyone a play by play on facebook.

However, I did keep friends and family updated cm by cm via text messages.

I think the funniest one was my friend writing some sappy post about how it was a year ago this day her daughter was conceived with the love of her life. Everyone had to jump in and leave their 2 cents about her making a status about a time she had sex, completely and deliberately killing the intended mood.

I'm not one to shy a away from a TMI type conversation, but yep, definitely tmi (especially the first one!)

My friends partner posted a picture of her in labour for all the world to see! He got ripped to shreds by just about everyone on Facebook who told him to take it down-just too bad everyone had seen it before he did!

Number 1 yes a little odd to post that.

But the rest wouldn't bother me, there's nothing wrong with childbirth, I don't think it's disgusting or cringey talking about it. I love hearing other women's stories in all their detail, it's such a momentus part in our lives and results in a beautiful baby.

I didnt post anything but I was in agony for the whole time and don't think I would have focused long enough to even unlock my phone.

Tmi. This is why I am not on fb!
