It is not like it is yellow with pee dripping off it or anything. It is just a white piece of plastic. Totally not gross in the slightest.</p> <p>Ultrasound pics are so exciting for a first time parent so I don't know why those would bother someone either. It is a beautiful life growing INSIDE someone. It is amazing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-pictures-of-pregnancy-tests-or-ultrasounds-bother-you/page/2#post-425996 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 20:21:07 +0000 sarac 425996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: Same. There are lots of pics of me nursing around because I do it so frequently that it's ceased to be something people notice when taking a picture of me. I think it's tragic that people want it hidden away, as if there were something disgusting or overly personal about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-pictures-of-pregnancy-tests-or-ultrasounds-bother-you/page/2#post-425692 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 17:16:38 +0000 Springtime 425692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't see the big deal in either! Let ppl post what they want to post, if you don't like it, ignore it. There are some things I would never post but it doesn't bother me when others do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-pictures-of-pregnancy-tests-or-ultrasounds-bother-you#post-425677 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 17:08:59 +0000 MrsCastro 425677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not at all, i think its people wanting to share their happiness with their friends and family... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-pictures-of-pregnancy-tests-or-ultrasounds-bother-you#post-425675 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 17:07:37 +0000 PurplePumps 425675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It doesn't bother me, but I don't care for it either. I'm not going to ooh and ahh over u/s pictures and a peed on stick isn't share worthy in my opinion. There's other (better) ways to share the news! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-pictures-of-pregnancy-tests-or-ultrasounds-bother-you#post-425661 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 16:58:55 +0000 Bao 425661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: I love to see bfing pics too! But sadly, their isn't too many that post them!</p> <p>I don't mind seeing that kind of stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-pictures-of-pregnancy-tests-or-ultrasounds-bother-you#post-425658 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 16:56:27 +0000 Mrs. Blue 425658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't mind either, really, but choose not to post any u/s or pregnancy test photos on FB. On sites like HB, everyone is here for common interests and I think it's totally fine to post all of the above. I just don't want my babies on FB until they're here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-pictures-of-pregnancy-tests-or-ultrasounds-bother-you#post-425418 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 15:15:11 +0000 heffalump 425418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's fine to post those things. Personally I don't..... not because I think it's yucky but because I'm paranoid after having a miscarriage so it's hard for me to be excited about pregnancy and share with the world about my pregnancy. But it's not like there's a bucket of pee. You don't actually see the pee. You just see the stick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-pictures-of-pregnancy-tests-or-ultrasounds-bother-you#post-425336 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 14:46:40 +0000 autumnlove 425336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: yeah..lol. My friend's mom, sister and a lot of his friends corrected him and gave him crap about his post. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-pictures-of-pregnancy-tests-or-ultrasounds-bother-you#post-425183 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 13:42:58 +0000 maybebaby 425183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The 3d ultrasounds have always freaked me out, even yesterday when it was our own baby! I don't mind ultrasound pictures, but i do mind pee sticks--not on a forum like this, but I think it is a bit funny when someone posts them on facebook. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-pictures-of-pregnancy-tests-or-ultrasounds-bother-you#post-425180 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 13:41:28 +0000 cokiezombie 425180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>pee sticks on FB are just "meh" to me.. because they all look the same, faint line or what not. </p> <p>on HB of course it's different story. </p> <p>i don't have a strong opinion either way..to each their own.</p> <p>but baby pictures, on the other hand, are a whole other ballgame. I have personally blocked folks on my FB because they wouldn't stop posting photos of their kids every, single, day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-pictures-of-pregnancy-tests-or-ultrasounds-bother-you#post-425162 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 13:34:45 +0000 Mrs. Pen 425162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel the need to correct something... an ultrasound is NOT the picture of the inside of a woman's vagina... it's the inside of a woman's uterus. Two totally different things! You don't go up the vagina to take an ultrasound (except in extreme circumstances). </p> <p>If I see things I don't like on FB then I take that person off my newsfeed. If this guy was genuinely friends with people posting that stuff, you'd think he'd be more concerned with being happy for them than criticizing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-pictures-of-pregnancy-tests-or-ultrasounds-bother-you#post-425153 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 13:28:08 +0000 Adira 425153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh dear, I feel like I've committed some sort of faux pas! I posted both a pee-stick picture AND an ultrasound pic on Facebook (although I shared them only with close friends and family and only after 20 weeks). I thought it was okay at the time, but maybe I shouldn't have done it??</p> <p>My pee-stick picture is really a picture of me holding the pee-stick, not a close-up of the pee-stick. Does that make it any better? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-pictures-of-pregnancy-tests-or-ultrasounds-bother-you#post-425108 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 12:55:22 +0000 winniebee 425108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They don't bother me, but I'd never post one to FB! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-pictures-of-pregnancy-tests-or-ultrasounds-bother-you#post-425101 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 12:52:13 +0000 Alivoo01 425101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They don't bother me, but I think those are kind of personal to be blasting all over social media. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-pictures-of-pregnancy-tests-or-ultrasounds-bother-you#post-425073 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 12:40:52 +0000 Turd Ferguson 425073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't say it bothers me or I'm grossed out by it, but I wouldn't post a pregnancy test on facebook (HB is a different story). I don't have an issue at all with ultrasounds. I also deleted pretty much everyone on facebook, so I only have about 100 super close family/friends--so I guess I really don't think too much about what I post there, as I figure most people will actually want to see it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-pictures-of-pregnancy-tests-or-ultrasounds-bother-you#post-425041 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 12:21:39 +0000 birdofafeather 425041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>pregnancy tests on here don't bother me, but i don't like them on social media stuff. ultrasounds don't bother me anywhere! i love them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-pictures-of-pregnancy-tests-or-ultrasounds-bother-you#post-425027 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 12:12:03 +0000 shopaholic 425027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm guilty of posting u/s pics on FB, but I only select 1 or 2 from each u/s if there's somewhat of a good shot (i.e. last two had one 3D face image and the other one was a full body somersault in utero). I'm definitely aware of trying not to over-post pregnancy pics on FB since some people seem to get annoyed, but all of our true friends and family seem to like the updates (especially the ones you don't see often).<br /> Personally, I wouldn't post the pee part of the HPT stick, but I'm not grossed out by it when I've seen others do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-pictures-of-pregnancy-tests-or-ultrasounds-bother-you#post-425021 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 12:08:52 +0000 LazyLightning 425021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like to see pee sticks and I know my husband doesn't. He didnt even want to see *my* pee stick. ultrasounds I could take or leave. I like to see a friend's kid but I also recognize that many people have no clue what they're looking at, especially in an early U/S....so it just looks like a weird blobby black and white picture... </p> <p>Still though, facebook and all that is full of stuff you may or may not want to see. Like if someone posts a picture of everything they eat. Or someone posts a picture of a gross injury they got. Etc. I've even heard people don't want to see a pic of an engagement ring if you get engaged. Preference I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-pictures-of-pregnancy-tests-or-ultrasounds-bother-you#post-425011 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 12:03:05 +0000 photojane 425011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>neither bother me, and i don't understand why they would bother anyone else either. okay, if you post a pee-covered stick, that's kind of gross, but i've never seen one of those posted. there are 15-year-old girls posting pictures of themselves getting drunk in their bras and panties on facebook, but a picture of my baby on an ultrasound is bothersome? the ultrasound of my sweet baby girl's face is my cover photo on facebook and it is dang adorable! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-pictures-of-pregnancy-tests-or-ultrasounds-bother-you#post-424943 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 11:32:04 +0000 Honeybee 424943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol, I think I'm desensitized because those don't bother me at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-pictures-of-pregnancy-tests-or-ultrasounds-bother-you#post-424934 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 11:29:39 +0000 lomom 424934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah.. I don't understand the peestick on Facebook thing. I took a picture of mine, but it was just for me, for weird posterity I guess? I'd never show it to Facebook though! I did post on WB but I think HB and WB are acceptable. </p> <p>Ultrasounds definitely don't bother me on WB or HB but I do feel awkward when people don't black out their name and their doctor's name/practice name. </p> <p>Im not a huge fan of ultrasounds on Facebook though. I wouldn't do it.. But I understand why people would want to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-pictures-of-pregnancy-tests-or-ultrasounds-bother-you#post-424916 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 11:20:51 +0000 annie624 424916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pregnancy Tests on FB are gross, IMO. They are fine here though! </p> <p>I don't mind ultrasounds, though, in either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-pictures-of-pregnancy-tests-or-ultrasounds-bother-you#post-424905 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 11:17:00 +0000 Arden 424905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't mind pregnancy test (although I didn't post any myself) or ultrasound photos. I actually LIKE breastfeeding pictures (I think it normalizes it). </p> <p>I think people are way too judgmental about all things pregnancy/baby related. If you don't like the photos, hide them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-pictures-of-pregnancy-tests-or-ultrasounds-bother-you#post-424889 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 11:12:09 +0000 AprilK 424889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They don't really bother me. But posting them crack me up b.c they are all basically the same. </p> <p>Plus I feel like I can't make heads or tails of the u/s pics... The tech would be like "Oh look! It's the head!" and I was like... hmmm, i guess I'll just take your word for it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-pictures-of-pregnancy-tests-or-ultrasounds-bother-you#post-424888 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 11:11:38 +0000 rachiecakes 424888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sloaneandpuffy: seriously. dumbass. </p> <p>I like ultrasound pictures because I love seeing profiles and little hands/feet. Sometimes the profile even looks like the parents. </p> <p>Pregnancy tests are kinda gross. I wouldn't post pictures of any other kind of urine/blood test haha, so I wouldn't personally post that myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-pictures-of-pregnancy-tests-or-ultrasounds-bother-you#post-424886 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 11:10:39 +0000 littlek 424886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pee sticks on facebook are annoying.

I had a friend post one of her entire boob hanging out.</p> <p>I never posted a pee stick picture, although mine is just of the lines and not the whole stick. I did post u/s photos though, so that my family in the states could see them. FB is how they see pictures and stuff from me.</p> <p>Neither bother me. </p>
