Sharing ultrasound pics on Facebook?

CDMay2006 · May 2013

I went back and forth, but did decide to post one u/s picture (baby's profile).

I put the twins profiles. I wouldn't do a gender shot, even if my doctor printed them out... but not even the grandparents saw those. I didn't feel the need.

I put up two. A really good profile pic and an amazing shot of her foot. That way I could share with people who wanted to see but not overwhelm my timeline with indecipherable pictures.

I posted all but the one where they pointed out she was a girl...I thought a) no one can tell except sonogram techs and b) it's a little weird posting her business all over facebook. Also, the sonogram pictures were part of our gender reveal to our facbook friends and family so we needed to post some of them.

I post one u/s pic from each visit. I also post my week pictures of the bump growing. I do it every 3 or so weeks. Im sure some people don't care, but I have a lot of family that love them. My family is spread out over several states, but we are all very close. Also, I love looking at peoples kids, babies, u/s pictures. If I don't care..I just scroll past it. I would not worry about what others think about posting pictures. Im one proud momma to be.

our family is all over the world, and I have a lot of friends far away as well..I just posted the 12 week one, that showed a great profile of her...I agree with PP though: Please don't post the shot of the genitals...those are just awful to me!!

I didn't upload it on Facebook but I texted it to all my friends and family that wanted to see the photos!

I don't like to share details on FB, but my husband is on it 24/7 (for good reason) and all his work friends are, as well. We compromised and did our "gender reveal" on FB by posting a pic of our me holding the u/s pic on my (fully clothed) stomach such that my hands formed a heart around the baby in the picture, and we pasted a little pink bow on the baby's head in the pic to make it clear what we were having! I felt comfortable enough posting this one pic for our big news, and, I have to admit, I think the picture is really cute, even to someone who might not normally want to look at an u/s picture. We also have well defined privacy settings.
While it is nice, I don't think you should worry too much about how other people feel about an u/s pic here or there - I stay off FB most of the time because I often can't stand what people post, but I feel like it is my problem if I don't like it, not theirs.

We'll probably post another. The first was our announcement that we're expecting. That was a 10w US picture. We just had one at 17w 6d and didn't post it because it was the gender pictures and the little arrows that point out "princess parts" just doesn't seem appropriate. So maybe the next one, a 3D one maybe?

It totally depends on what you're comfortable with. I posted one 2D pic of the baby's profile when we announced at 20 weeks. I wouldn't post multiple shots or any pics of the baby's genitals. I also wouldn't post it as my profile picture. But I don't think it's weird or tacky to post one pic for family and friends to see.

It's personal to me, so we aren't posting....not everyone you are friends with is likely into babies. I know I had a phase in life when I was happy for friends but didn't appreciate seeing ultrasound pics.

MallardDucky:
I did only because we have family everywhere. Just way easier.

Same - But I have only shared the first one, I do not share every u/s pic that we have

I only post the very clear profile shots and that is what I have done with both pregnancies. The only reason I do this is because we are in the military and it is the easiest way to share info with my IL's back in Washington. I absolutely refuse to post any pics of of the "goods" though. I don't even show those to my family/friends IRL. I figure the only people who need to every see that part of my child are the ones who will some day change their diaper. It just weirds me out when people post those. I know a lot of other people will post multiple u/s pics and that doesn't really bother me, but I just choose not to.
