Why can't people tell you they are having a baby without showing you a grainy black and white picture of the inside of a womb? Do people actually want to see this?!?
lol, remember, this comment is coming from someone very anti-kid who will NEVER HAVE ONE........
...i always think they're gross n if i can actually make out what the little thing is supposed to be, it ends up looking like an alien every time to me. the worst tho is when its a super early one and you cant see shit on it anyways.
but uh yeah...ive had 2 shown to me in the past month, so ive seen my share for the whole year hopefully.
In defense of expecting parents, they are terribly proud and they consider that to be a picture of the baby. When I first got ultrasound photos, I stared at them for hours and showed them to EVERYBODY.
On the other hand, if you've seen the 3-D ultrasound photos, they seem kind of private and womb-ish.
I think ultrasounds are cool, whether it's of a baby or an organ. I don't consider photos of the inside of my body to be intimate in any way; they're medical or scientific and just interesting and cool. I like seeing MRI's and Xrays too. So, count me as one who likes to see the grainy pictures, not because "ooh, miracle of life" but "ooh, funky cool medical imaging!"
Actually I don't think its something 'too private' you don't want to share. Its kind of like the baby photos everyone shows off from their wallet. This is just another version.
My son's womb pic wasn't too interesting (well except for the penis part - yes that part is too private - you can't even get them to take a pic of that part) but my daughter's was really interesting because she has her father's nose and chin which were very apparent in the photo. Poor girl. I'm saving for a nose job for my teenager. :P
I hate these things because they're like those Magic Eye pictures. Everyone else says "Look! fingers! toes! clavicle! incipient birthmark!" ... while I squint and tilt my head and all I can see are grainy blobs of ... grainy blobs. Pfeh!

I have nothing against kids per se, but I just don't get what's up with the intimate details.

Hmm...if bats live in caves where the sun don't shine, what lives in wombs where the sun don't shine? Wombats?

Re: lol
