    I agree with EVERYONE on this board! Let's also add in that no, I don't think little Timmy trying to squeeze one off at the dinner table is cute.. it's poop, I don't care how big the person it comes out of is, I don't need to hear about it, smell it, or see it in action WHEN I'M EATING... Yep, this happened, FI knows i'm not a kid person so while every one else was laughing he was trying not to laugh at the look or HORROR on my face.

    So far I've avoided too much craziness in my FB feed when it comes to weddings or any stupid "work from home" sales schemes. Here's hoping that will trickle down and the feed will remain sane when people start having kids.

    So on board with the idea that newborns are ugly. Serious question: does anyone actually think newborn babies are "beautiful"? Like, in that they honestly deserve the same descriptor we use for sunsets and nice bone structure and symphonies?

    Some I would say are beautiful. Most, no.  

    It helps to have a personal connection to the baby. If it's some rando's baby, I highly doubt I'd think that.

    I've seen one or two beautiful unicorn *infants.  But most of the time they're just small, wrinkly, and look very dissatisfied with their new non-womb world.

    I can honestly not tell babies apart until they're at least 6 months old. And even then, it's tricky. People will be all "He has his dad's nose right?" and I'm all...I can confirm he has a nose but it looks like all other baby noses.

    Toddlers I'm a little better with but lets give the kid time to grow into their looks before trying to decide who they look most like.

    Shit. I have a hard time telling people apart sometimes. And things like "You have your fathers nose?" Dude, it better be a pretty freaking distinctive nose, otherwise, you have a nose. Congrats.

    And when people try to do this with the 3D sonograms...
    Or when they try to do it with regular, 2D sonograms. Uh, WUT? That doesn't even look like a human, sooo...

    I confess:  All newborns look like shriveled potatoes to me.  And with the 3D sonograms, I don't need to see your baby's pre-birth eyelids or whatever, so maybe no need for that.  I'm really fascinated by reproductive biology, but for some reason those kind of give me the heebie jeebies.

    I saw a friend's pics with her legs in the stirrups with a sheet draped over her legs, but her legs were still showing.  It was obvioous they were waiting for the afterbirth, because the baby had just come out. I am  thinking... Damn... nobody needs to think about that. Just no.  There are reasons why animal eat the afterbirth.... probably so the rest of it's friends don't have to look at it or think about it, and all of the animals can pretend it never happened. Ew.

    I had a friend who ate the afterbirth. I was like "Why? You live in a magical world where vitamins exist and bears aren't coming for you."

    And then she dried out the cord into fucking birth-jerky and framed it.

    Lmao. That is so crazy. Double Ew

    ----boxes----

    There are many women who eat the placenta, often after having it made into pill form although some drink it in a smoothie. There are a lot of good nutrients in there, so I've heard, and some women say it helps with "baby blues" and post-partum depression.

    I don't know that I ever will do it (if I did, it woul probably be in pill form), but I have several friends who have.

    No, bloody babies on my newsfeed please! It wouldn't gross me out but I just think that's not something that should be on Facebook. But then, I'm not planning to ever take any naked pictures of my children. My parents never took any of me, and I like looking through photo albums and not finding naked pics of little me. There will also be zero pushing pics and zero pics below the waist when we have kids. I have already informed H and kids are still a few years down the road for us.

    The nurses when I delivered my son asked if they wanted me to adjust a mirror above the delivery bed so I could see what was going on while I pushed... Yeah, thanks but no thanks. I don't want to see that... sounds traumatizing, and is exactly why FI stood by my head. FI has one he snapped when baby was not completely cleaned up and was laying on my chest, but that's wasn't one for Facebook.

    I did briefly see my placenta, it was kinda cool but not something I'd be taking pictures of.

    I'm of course biased, but do think my son was a damn cute newborn.  He's probably a little over an hour old in these.

    My aunt actively thought her newborn son was ugly. She was very upset about how ugly her came out.

    She says he cuted up as the weeks passed.
    I'm afraid this will be me!  I keep having these weird thoughts.  Like what if this kid is a ginger?  (nothing wrong with that idk why it's in the back of my mind)  What if this kid comes out hairy like my H (sorry kid...no college fund.  It all went to your hair removal as a child).

    Stupid worries..wonder if it's just hormones?

    Some I would say are beautiful. Most, no.  

    It helps to have a personal connection to the baby. If it's some rando's baby, I highly doubt I'd think that. 
    I want to first say that I love my niece very much.  She will be 5 in March and is absolutely adorable.  But, when she was younger, she kind of resembled Gollum from Lord of the Ring.  Of course I only ever told this to H in which he said "that is horrible" all through tremendous laughter because he too agreed with me.  So even though I have a personal connection to my niece there were still sometimes while she was a baby and going through an awkward stage where she wasn't the cutest thing on the earth.
    Hahahahaha, YES! This is what I'm saying. It makes perfect sense to LOVE the newborn, even immediately. It makes sense to think its tiny wee fingers and toes are adorable, and that its soft little snuggly body is a delight. But beautiful? Nah, not in the physical sense! Because, GOLLUM, guys. GOLLUM.

     Definitely a beautiful feeling, though. I do not deny that one.

    This thread makes me really glad I'm not the only one who things 99% of newborns are ugly.

    But also, I still don't get the eating placenta thing. It came out of you. We don't drink our own blood if we cut open our hand by accident, or eat or own scabs, or try to drink our menstrual blood (at least, I sure hope you're not).  Regardless of nutritional value, it was inside you. 

    Also reminds me of cannibalism.

    Agreed, if we have kids I hope they're ginger. We're blonde, so it's not likely, but I think it does happen sometimes so I'd be hoping.

    Well...actually I do to the first bolded. I mean not like sit down with a shot glass but if I cut my finger, first thing I do is pop in my mouth. Not to enjoy the blood, but just...what I've always done.

    And dude, second bolded, people do. They totally do. I've seen a video. Don't google this, don't look it up on youtube, just believe me ok. They do.

    I was trying to come up with a reason and I was like "I don't have one...this is just my go to response..." I guess it's kind of soothing or something?
