FB

I've been off for a good whopping 9 days.
Wow, even i think this is a loooong stretch.

Anyway, I just saw some pics of a friend's newborn + her labour pics on Facebook.
Yes, you read it right - her labour pics.
I dunno if anyone else applies some sort of self-censorship on FB, but much as i was happy for her, i was cringeing at the pics.
Why, oh why, does she post these personal moments on FB?
A woman can't get any worse than at her first labour experience.
And there it was, in all its glory for the whole world -- her in epidural, the baby's umbilical cord, her green/grey/purple baby(yes that's how newborns look like at birth), and she, bloated, drugged out and comatose.
For someone who's been there before, I find it highly disturbing that these pics are online.
It's hardly the type of holiday/party/birthday snapshots you wanna share with the world.
But, i guess, different strokes for diff folks.
