It doesn't bother me but I personally won't do it, just bc I'd like my profile pic to be of me when people are scrolling through the news feed. My last one was me and OH at the "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign and I even changed that bc you couldn't even tell it was us lol!! My u/s pic is my cover photo though, it actually looks really cool

I don't have any ultrasound pics on my Facebook at all, but my profile pic is of my three boys. It's over a year old, but I hate getting my picture taken and I am not photogenic. I'm not ugly, but I don't photograph well, so I have very few pictures of me and most of them are after I do something drastic with my hair, like completely change the color or cut off six inches.

I have my scan pic as my FB profile pic and very proud of it (and my baby). I don't see how B&B is different than FB. They are both social networking sites where people talk to each other, share news, and pics.

I do not accept every single person's FB friend request; if I know them (and like them) then I accept. If I don't know them then they get denied. I don't mind sharing personal pictures on FB because I know only my friends and family will see them. I wouldn't want every Tom, Dick and Harry to see pictures of my children or where I live or what I do on a daily basis. I can only guess that this is the reason why the OP doesn't like scan pictures as profile pics since a reason wasn't provided.

I only have friends and family on Facebook too! Its not about other people seeing I understand why people share, I posted my US pic to my wall so people could have a little nose. I just personally don't get why people set it as profile! I personally think B&b is different as its specifically about pregnancy and babies and we are all exited to see each others pics, but on facebook I can't see most people on my friends list wanting to see my scan pic 24/7

ah well, as they say "different strokes for different folks"

Well, we all have our own opinions so let's just mind our own business who has what as a profile pic

As I've said before, this wasn't meant to offend... I know its none of my business what people have as their profile picture, and as I have none of you ladies on my facebook it certainly wasn't personal. I completely understand and accept that people have different opinions to mine, but this is a forum for expressing your opinions and sharing and I felt like expressing my opinion on the matter to see if people agreed or disagreed, Sorry it upset you.

So your reasoning is you dont looking at 5 u/s pics at one time 24/7? That is the only reason you have stated. It personally wouldnt bother me seeing other peoples u/s on my news feed, Im happy for them.

yeh, I just think your profile picture should be of you, I love it when people post up their pics so I can have a look but I just don't see the purpose of it being set as profile. Alot of my friends do it, and I know lots of people like having it, it just annoys me

I don't expect people to stop or whatever and that's fine I honestly didn't expect this thread to upset anyone as its such a lighthearted matter but i'm starting to sense that it has so i'm sorry.

I guess it's each to their own really. I personally don't see it as a problem, many of my friends and myself have our baby's scan photos as our profile pics

It's just my way of showing how proud I am of my baby as others do in different ways.

I think despise is quite a strong word as it's everyone's personal choice

That's just my opinion though, don't mean to offend
