Ladies, There has been some discussion today on posting photos that are possibly TMI. We place a lot…

#curious lol

I'm a little disappointed in this. I understand both sides, but I still stand behind the original poster. What she posted was in no way graphic or "disturbing". If you're on here, you're likely a parent who has and will see worse. It was a totally valid and acceptable post for a FTM who may have had no where else to turn. People need to grow up, life isn't always rainbows and sunshine. Sometimes its gross, dark and dirty, welcome to motherhood and life in general.

If we can't use this as our safe place for questions we may be shy about, then why are we here at all?

I agree 110% with @fallwithautumn , the original poster is not at fault here.

@fallwithautumn, what was the pic of?

@fallwithautumn, i agree with you .

@fallwithautumn, I agree!

@queendavis, just a q-tip with blood. That was all.

I totally agree with you! No post should have been made about that picture. @fallwithautumn

@fallwithautumn, your point is valid. However, there is a responsibility to the entire community and the issue isn't limited to this particular post. We have had cases of photos that do reflect the darker realities of motherhood but which were deeply disturbing. While motherhood encompasses the full reality of life and, sadly, death sometimes, the nature of the photos posted by and to our community needs to take account of mothers who are dealing with their own emotional highs and lows, and who may be unnecessarily upset by particularly graphic photos. The truth is vitally important, but at such a vulnerable time in our lives as pregnancy and early motherhood, not everyone wants to be exposed to the most challenging moments, and we need to moderate the posts to take into account the feelings of our entire community.

@summer2015,

@lovelyadre,

@elenaj,

@firsttimemommy89,

K .

I under stand that, I promise i do. I LOVE this community and am so glad to be apart of it. However, It sounds like her need and want for answers and help is being over shadowed by those who can't handle the facts of life. Her need to ask is just as valid and important as their need to avoid, and they could have by scrolling.

As we all go on these individual journeys, we will connect and disconnect constantly but we all have to keep moving forward and preventing a mom from asking what she saw as an important question because someone might not like it is just silly. Its just part of life. We are all going to deal with things we don't like or want to see, its just life in general.

I agree @fallwithautumn

@fallwithautumn, I agree with u

@fallwithautumn, I completely agree with you!

What happened ?

@fallwithautumn, totally agree with you. A lot of us rely on each other for answers if we haven't been through it before ourselves. Before I had my son in December someone had posted a picture of what a mucus plug looked like, didn't bother me one bit, what it did do was inform me what I had to look forward to! I never lost my mucus plug at all but atleast I knew what to look out for if I did. If the picture or TMI post bothers someone, they should keep scrolling. I'd rather us Moms be open and honest with each other than not knowing what to expect OR be of some sort of help to someone who hasn't experienced it before.

@nelianiz_elize, we've had many questions about photos and this was a general guideline. It was not aimed at anybody. 🌸

Oh okay just making sure @preggie_usa it's good to know this info . 😊

All I'm saying is this is a mommy app, aka we are all females. Who all have a menstrual cycle every month through out our lifetime...which means we see blood every time we use the restroom for 5-7 days straight, I don't see how someone posting a picture of blood is offensive! Agree ladies!? @lc @fallwithautumn @firsttimemommy89 @queendavis @elenaj @summer2015 @lovelyadre @preggie_usa @nelianiz_elize @septson @martinasmall @kateferrera

yeah I do agree. I've seen some questionable things on here but honestly I've learned so much these last 8.5 months about my body nothing is surprising to me anymore lol @awn0710

@awn0710, this post is for general photo posting not aimed at that particular photo. And we would like the drama stopped rather than revisited.

I agree, I think a description in the post and picture in the comments is the best way to do it, if you really want an opinion on something that could gross someone else out. True, some things are just a fact of life, but that doesn't mean I want to have to see it full size on my screen as I'm trying to scroll past it. I don't think it's a big deal to put certain photos in the comments as a courtesy to others who may have weaker stomachs. Honestly, I mostly come on here for the food and baby pics.

I think rather than keep going about same thing whether it was wrong or right we should keep moving on. Like preggie_usa said this is not aimed at anyone. Same problem has been happened lots of times here. The point of this post is to make everyone happy. Even though something that might not disgust or gross me out doesnt mean it wont disgust someone else. ✌️

That's what I did. told mom's idk if it would be inappropriate to post a picture of my boobs.. they all wanted to see them

the mucus plug is a bit much. I think a description is enough.

Does preggie have an official policy allowing nursing photos? Because there's always the few that take the stance that it's gross to them, and many nursing moms like to share their beautiful photos.

@gamermommy83, we welcome all nursing photos. 😊
