YIKES! (re: FB)

One of hubby's friends' wife just had her baby yesterday. A beautiful baby girl! Everyone is doing well and they posted a bunch of photos on facebook for everyone to share their joy. Problem: she was born via C-section (failed induction at 41 wks) and they posted VERY graphic pix of the actual surgery.

I'm sorry, but I don't think this is any more/less tasteful that showing your bloody vagina on facebook. It's a beautiful moment- something you should keep in your baby album forever- tucked away in a drawer in your own house- NOT ON MY NEWSFEED THAT I SEE WHILE I HAVE MY MORNING COFFEE!!!!!

Anyone disagree?

    We posted several of my c-section pics on Facebook for both kids.  I don't think they were graphic, but I guess some people might.  I never really thought about it, I guess.

    I think I'd feel weird about all of my FB friends seeing my internal organs!!

    My DH took some of those photos during my c-section.  I had no idea and when flipping through the camera was like, woah... those are my insides!  I was shocked by photos of myself, so yeah, I don't really see them as appropriate for Facebook... just from a blood and guts perspective.

    I don't want my in-erds on facebook, but I used to work with some graphic blood & guts stuff working as a vet tech, so it wouldn't bother me.

    ...so is it bad that I want to see this picture to actually see how bad it is?

    It wouldn't bother me, but I can see it bothering others and wouldn't ever do it.

    I almost posted one, but a) it defeats the purpose of my post (don't want you ladies yacking during your lunch break!)  and b) i'm all about privacy. I'd be pissed if someone shared a pic of mine like that (although i'd never post it, so idk?)

    ETA: there are a few- one of her being cut, one of the "slit" being stretched open, one of the baby being pulled out, and another of the baby where you can see the big bloody opening- in-erds 'n' all just hanging out in the background.

    I'm not easily grossed out, but I had to close out of the photos to keep my laptop clean  Ick!

    Um, yikes.  I have c-section pics from when I had DD#2 but you can't really see anything of me or a lot of "gore".  They're taken from up by my head (by DH) and my belly and other regions are covered in a blue sheet, tools and hands.  I think it's so cool to actually see her being born - since I was behind a curtain - but no way in hell would I share those on FB.

    I'm jealous.  They didn't allow pictures in the OR.  I really wanted to see.  I'm probably weird.
