Why do people have to share EVERYTHING on the net including pics of dead baybees? I can see if there were a place on the net that is just for that and there must be. But I open yahoo and it is international news

If you think that's bad, go look at this site:


http://www.stillbirthday.com/gestational-age-of-your-baby/


There are "babies" on here from 5 weeks gestation and up.::brbl

If YOU are the "exception" to what I am saying, then why does my commentary bother you so much?
I don't hate your kids, I HATE YOU!

The Commode used to have a public section dedicated to miscarriages and stillbirths and all that where distraught Moos would post photos of their late periods and dead infants for all the world to see. But I think after they found out we were discussing their clumps and cadavers here, they made the section members-only.

Personally, I don't know how seeing the dead body of a loved one or wanted child could in any way be comforting, but that's just me. I'd just think that when a parent has this image of a pink, squishy LIVE baby built up in their minds, having to look at a purple lifeless infant body would just be rubbing salt in the wound. But I also fail to see how an embalmed corpse of a loved one in a wooden box is in any way comforting either.

Nonetheless, I don't think these cows understand that not everyone wants to see their dead kids. There are support forums everywhere for Moos and every stage of pignancy loss, so why they don't keep their mourning restricted to such sites is beyond me. I guess it doesn't occur to them that their dead loaves could be very disturbing to other people, or even other Moos who shat dead babies or bled out first-trimester clumps. But hey, it's not like Moos know how to think about anyone but themselves anyway. Besides that, you know the parents will be working on a replacement soon enough and the dead loaf will be nothing but a distant memory.

Ugh.

I get that these photos could be comforting to the parents (I guess?). I wouldn't want to see my dead grandmother in her casket, so I don't see the appeal of dead loaf pictures, but whatever. shrug

But come on, international news?! There are at least thousands of stillbirths every day. I guess even when the kyd is deceased the parents will still treat it like a speshul cznoflayke. :crz I agree, keep in on the Moo blogs and message boards. Most people (including others who've had stillbirths) don't want to innocently open Yahoo and have a dead baby staring them in the face.

I came across a woman who's been posting photos of her stillborn baby on Instagram for THREE WEEKS. She's a full-time professional yoga teacher fully immersed in that sort of lifestyle, was eating all the right things, still carrying on a very vigorous yoga practice right up until the baby was born. Then, he basically was born and died in less than two days. No warning, no discernable reason.

What's sort of disturbing is that she said she's gained many thousands of IG followers since the baby died and she started posting all of this...grief porn. Why are so many people so interested in watching this woman's grief like it's a TV show and looking at photos of her dead baby? She says all of the right inspiring, enlightend things about it, sprinkled with quotes from Rumi and whatnot. I know having a stillborn baby or a miscarriage still happens a lot, but far, far less so than in the past, so I doubt that all of the women who are newly following her are doing so because they've had the same experience and can relate. It all seems sort of voyeuristic.
