I don't get it. What about it is TMI?

But some warn that sharing fetal pictures could be oversharing — like posting drunken makeout photos — and fret about what happens if the pregnancy goes wrong.
She doesn't cite a single authority for that statement.
Over-sharing? Baby pictures are comparable to drunken makeout photos? Huh?
But are there potential dangers? With ultrasound photos, there is usually personal information written on the scan
Fair enough. I encountered that problem with my ultrasounds. That problem is easy to solve: just download a graphics editor and edit out the information. Pretty simple.
Also, when posting such a photo or other personal images onto a social networking site, you can easily forget who will see the photo and accidentally make your news known to the wrong people, such as an ex-boyfriend who didn't know you were pregnant.
But that's the same with any news of any kind. So what's so special about an ultrasound?
Many expectant mothers say they have taken advantage of privacy filters and other measures to make sure only designated readers can view the photos, and only certain photos.
Exactly.
And what if things don't go as planned? Bouffard says during the first trimester she only posted photos for friends and family to whom she knew she would feel comfortable delivering bad news, should the pregnancy not work out.
But that's the same thing as with any child. What if my child dies in an accident tomorrow?
Weird article.
