Is it appropriate to post a photo of your stillborn on a pregnancy app?

Question

pregnancy app?" /> 
I have seen 2 heartbreaking posts this week featuring actual photos of stillborn babies. It is more than disturbing to me to see these images. They haven't been marked as tmi so I had no opportunity to avoid seeing them. I'm 17 weeks pregnant now, but even if I wasn't this would still bother me deeply. 
We don't share photos of our passed relatives on social media, and please, do not misunderstand me: I think it is important to be informed about the unfortunate possibilities and its crucial to grieve properly by venting your thoughts/feelings. I am specifically referring to the photos. 
Do they bother you? Should we request that they at least be marked TMI? Is it appropriate to show your precious angel to a bunch of stranger pregnant ladies?

Answer

I don’t see why they shouldn’t be able to. This app isn’t just for pregnant women. Pictures of healthy babies (while I’m sure they’re very happy the babies are healthy) may be hard for a mama that has been through a miscarriage/stillbirth to see, but they don’t ask us not to post pictures of their children because it might bring painful emotions to them 🤷🏼‍♀️ Every mother deserves to be able to celebrate their child freely, and every child deserves to be remembered, whether they’re here on earth or in heaven. ❤️

Answer

I think it's ok. A miscarriage or still birth is an unbelievably hard thing to go through. Many women on apps like this have gone through that heartbreak. It can be a good place for support and understanding. But it can also be traumatic to see a picture of one without warning. Definitely needs to be marked TMI.

Answer

I think it’s up to the parent. I mean they are trying to heal and tell a story.
I’ve seen videos of births where the babies don’t make it. I’m okay with the awareness they are trying to bring.

Answer

If it’s posted in the correct group then yes they should be able to share

Answer

It is an app that is here to offer support for everyone not just the parents with babies that survived... Yes if the pictures are done tastefully I do not see a problem with it. Should they mark them TMI yea probably however I do not think it is really necessary.  I get that there is a TMI button for a reason however I feel that reason is more for body fluids and nudity.   If I am grieving - I am pretty sure the last thing on my mind is worrying if my loss if offending someone by forgetting to mark my post TMI!!! Just my opinion..

Answer

Not everyone uses Glow for pregnancy. If it's posted in the right group I don't see a problem with it? But I do think it should be marked at TMI so people know to avoid it if they are sensitive to the subject.

Answer

I think it's perfectly fine to post, but should have a tmi or other warning so people can avoid seeing if they need to.
