2nd Trimester

So tacky and weird.

Why do people post pictures of their fetus's genitals from ultrasounds? If you weren't going to find out if it was a boy or a girl until it was born would you take a picture of the business then and send it to people saying its a boy/girl?

Re: So tacky and weird.

  • Is it a close up of it or just a regular picture of the ultrasound and you can see it?

  • I mean people doing this in general. Theres one a few posts down.

  • I don't feel comfortable doing that with my children. I feel like I'm showing the world their private parts, lol.

  • I imagine she means the close-up that usually has an arrow and "it's a girl/boy!" on it. And I agree, no one needs to see my baby's genitals. I get sharing it with close family or something, but I'd be pissed if I found out that my mom posted something like that to a public web site when I was a baby. There are so many people who do this that you might get attacked with the whole "parts are parts" camp, but i agree that it is definitely tacky and weird. Unless everyone you know is an u/s tech, leave the genital shot out.
  • Well then I am "tacky and weird".  I posted my daughter's "goodies" shot on my FB for my friends and family to see.  True, it may not be for everyone, but I highly doubt it makes someone tacky and/or weird.  It's an ultrasound shot, which usually people can't tell night and day from anyways.  It's not like it's an actual photograph of a child's genitals that could be reproduced in any pornographic way.  But thank you for your opinion. :)

    So if they couldn't get the money shot from your ultrasound, would you have waited till she was born and then posted a picture of her vulva on facebook to announce that she was a girl? It definitely makes you tacky and weird.

    An ultrasound shot and a pic of a newborn baby's genitals are totally different things. You can't even see anything other than the random 'shape' in an ultrasound. I don't know why people get so riled up about this -- so you wouldn't do it, why do you care if other people do?

  • While I understand your point of view, you have to remember that we are all different as is our opinions of what is "tacky and weird". Personally I find a lot of things annoying on this site but I don't go questioning it or insulting others since there are obviously a lot of people who disagree with me. Instead, I just ignore it and move on.

    Remember that we all have varied perspectives. It's different to ask why people do something and another thing to label someone "tacky or weird" for doing something that you don't agree with. How about just viewing it as "interesting" as opposed to "wrong?".

    I don't "care", I just think it's tacky and weird and I was saying so. I also think it's tacky and weird to....wear clothes from walmart, dress your children in character clothing, eat processed foods, have pink decor in your house, own pitbulls.....I could go on and on. I'm sure anyone else could as well.

     So when you can see the babys face in an ultrasound, it would be weird to say "oh he/she is so cute!" or "he/she has my nose!"?

    No, because that would be an actual photograph of  her vagina, that someone could steal and get their jollies off to online.  Like I stated before, an ultrasound photo that is super grainy and doesn't even have in depth details is completely different than an actual photo of the genitals.  BUT, I will agree with the other posters, and ask: "Who let Debbie Downer on the board today?!"...AND...YAY!  I am tacky and weird!  WOOHOO!

  • I don't see what the big deal is? I mean come on, it's an ultrasound picture.

    Half the time you can barely even tell if it's male or female.

  • This seriously bothers people?  Lighten up, its an ultrasound, I look at it like an x-ray.  I have not shared my u/s pics with anyone besides my family, but do not equate them with photographs.

  • Wow, I can't believe there are women on here that judge others for wanting to share their u/s pictures. Who cares if it's a crotch shot? You can't see anything anyways. So you're supposed to see 3 lines with a girl ( I I I ) or a protrusion with a boy (sorry, can't figure out how to make that look), so what's the big deal? OMG, I can't believe you're showing me your little girls 3 lines!!!! Get a life and if you don't like looking at other's u/s pics, then don't open the thread. The title usually gives it away.

    BTW - I love the Debbie Downer photo, hilarious!!!

    aruiz82...I applaud you for your valient efforts in trying to stir up as much drama as possible. Whether I agree with your opinions or not is irrelevant because after reading through your previous posts, I'm willing to put my next paycheck down on the fact that you're probably not even pregnant and instead, prefer to spend your days causing drama. Again, props to you because that takes time and effort. If you are indeed pregnant, please provide us your address so we can send sympathy cards to your future child and family.
