How would you say it?

I don’t want to hear about how extra I’m about to be. If you don’t have any advice pertaining to the actual post, move along. Thanks.

I said all that, to say this:

I’m having my first baby (after several losses) I’m obviously very excited.

I would like to reserve sharing photos of my child when she’s born at least until we are home.

After all the photos I’ve seen from the girls in my husbands family giving birth & how they just share it with each other texting it around makes me feel like I’d have to say something. Last photo I saw was of my husbands cousin who had to get a c section. The photo was of her drugged up & looking exhausted & the baby being held by someone else, held to her face so she could see.

I was so sad for her. When we talked she’s like yea I wish my family didn’t get ahold of that picture, it’s not like they couldn’t wait to see the baby. & I totally agree.

What words would you use to express not wanting any photos taken?

The only person who will be taking photos after she’s born is my husband to send to his mother who lives far away. But I’d like to somehow let her know to keep the photos for herself & not text them to anyone.
