I might be losing some FB friends today

Ewww lauren thats awful. I do not want to see vag goo on anything, thanks very much. What the hell are people thinking. I sometimes want to go back to the days when people didnt take pictures of freaking everything because film cost money and they didnt want to waste it.

[quote]I'm fb friends with a few other new moms[/quote] I just re-read this and it could be read to say that I am also a new mom. Which freaked me out. To clarify - I am absolutely NOT. No. Noway. Whew. I meant other new moms besides the ones you're talking about.

I don't think I've seen any poop statuses from people, but I've definitely seen the cm dilated statuses.  From my SIL/BIL.  Like, "She is 7 cm dilated now.  Almost time to push!"  It was actually okay since they're family, but if it was anyone else, it would have been weird.

I think about constantly updated your fb status is weird. especially if it's about you babies poop..that made no sence and I have no idea what I was thinking when I wrote that..that SHOULD say..I think constantly updating your facebook is weird, especially if its about your babies poop.

One update was something like "Nothing like the baby saying Good Morning by pooping all over you!"; another was something about fishing poop out of the bathtub; and the third was some random story about one kid pulling off the other's diaper so she went all over the floor.It's actually really amazing birth control.

OMG Lauren - I. would. die. THIS is the reason no one will be in the room with me except DH and MAYBE my sister.  Sorry FMIL, I know it will break your heart to not see your granddaughter being born, but giving birth is not a spectator sport.  Nor does it require up-to-the minute news coverage.

Lauren, good call.  That is just gross and way TMI.  Way.

SwedishChick2011

Also, a suggestion to FB people having babies - you don't have to post a picture of the baby right after it comes out - you know, when it still has junk on it.  Clean it off first!

Stackeye210

This is the exact reason I will never even explore the world of twitter - I'm sure it's FB status' TMI times 87 million!

laurenclaire1386

Yeah I got really thankful that my mom doesn't own a camera and never will and also has zero desire to take my picture ever, let alone while I'm giving birth.  It's my fault for looking at the pics, I guess, but the whole concept pissed me off.  Like, can some things still be kept sacred, please?

Coco - I plan on having the nurses clean the baby off before she ever gets to me.  If I have to spend 10+ hours pushing the thing out, the least they can do is not hand me a slippery goo-covered baby.

SwedishChick2011

If I ever have kids, the only relative allowed in the room will be my husband - MAYBE my mom if I need some motherly emotional support.  And NO ONE will be taking pictures of my vag unless they want to be thrown across the room.

but I don't have bookface so I wouldn't know.Vally, I've been calling it bookface ever since the Halloween episode.  Sadly I didn't get it at first because I'm a little slow.I have promised I wouldn't become an annoying married person that always referred to my "hubby" in status updates, and I haven't.   And when the time comes I will not be an annoying parent either.

SwedishChick2011

Good idea, tide!  Stick to your guns and don't let them hand you the baby before they clean it off, because I'm sure they'll try.  Why would anyone want their first moment with their baby to be all goo-covered?  Vom.

I think I'd rather see that than have a sermon everyday.....   I keep my religion to myself, or share more by example (and sadly, lack thereof).  I've got one HS friend who posts almost zealot-themed messages daily. She's on my next to be hidden list.  I've already hidden the freaky "Britney Spears is hot/ a good mom/ nice person; Michael Jackson is nice - I met him once" poster.But then again, I became used to talking about poop post-op. Not that I necessarily want to hear about yours, but....I've never deleted anyone before. I just hide them.

SwedishChick2011

Tide - I meant "she" not "it."  Sorry.

vicmo5

Missy, I agree the religious fanatics on fb are out of control.  I have hidden and deleted so many people because of it.

Pirata13

Friends who are no longer friends posted pics after their spawn's birth of the placenta and blood in a pan. Disgusting.  And they were in the middle of the other pics of the baby in it's little blanket and hat, them holding it etc then BAM!--disgusting stuff no one needs to see. What dbags.

SarahPLiz

Missy, my own little sister, who I love dearly, uses her FB status to evangelize for her current cause. I love that she is passionate about SOMEthing, just don't care for her current topic. I can't block her, but I do refrain from engaging her in arguments about the asinine gerneralizations she makes. I have warned her once about being viewed as a zealot, and that was enough. I just can't bring myself to delete my little sister, but I do ignore the heck out of her Fb statuses.

Missy, I agree the religious fanatics on fb are out of control.THIS.

I had a friend who was in labor and updating her facebook status. She was ticking off the cm dialated, with various talk about goo and contractions. When I posted, "Please stop updating your status while in labor. How about just posting when the baby is born?" a bunch of people posted about how mean I was and, "You must not have any kids because I bet it's taking her mind off the pain and we want to know what's going on." Look lady, I don't need a kid to know you're BSC and the epitome of all that is wrong with society if you're trolling facebook to read about goo and contractions.

SwedishChick2011

L&W - You're right, but it probably would have been best not to say anything.  You could have just blocked her.  That said, there's no way I'd be updating my FB status while in labor - mainly because I'd be concentrating on, you know, pushing out a baby.

Licia&Wayne

Yea, I'll admit, it was pretty rude of me to just be like "STFU. Now."But the facebook updates were in addition to these mass text messages...also about contractions and goo.Ugh...I just couldn't take goo updates anymore and lost control.

kiki, if you're still around---I got this update today from an old nursing teacher about her daughter's delivery---1215 and late decelerations with the pitocin. Dr. here checking; discussing potential need for section. She says she will wait a bit before making that decision. Check reveals Sarah is dilated to 3, lots of fluid visible.ummm, I was fine until the fluids were mentioned

janedoe1113a

Yea, that's just gross.

rebecca.shockey

Hey, I'm usually just a lurker on these boards, but when I read this I had to comment (even though i'm a little late). It's more about the married folks on facebok thing...I have a friend who postponed/called off her wedding and then finally got married in January. They weren't the happiest couple ever. Then it's as if getting married fixed EVERYTHING. They're super mushy and blah on fbook now. I constantly see things like "So glad to come home to a man like my hubby. Even when I have a crappy day, he lights up my evening." Gag me.
