Well just take note someone who is jealous might flag your image on Facebook as nudity. It happened and read the story. A woman has been left outraged after she posted an arty photo of herself cradling her pregnant belly on Facebook only for it to be flagged with the social media site for nudity.
Erika Sepulveda, who is nine months pregnant with her first child, posted the photo on her private Facebook page on Saturday and was shocked when Facebook told her it was being reviewed because it contained nudity. The 31-year-old had photos professionally taken at Matt Ware Photography studio in Melbourne recently. She posed naked in some shots and was featured in others with her husband.
'I actually felt really excited to share such intimate and special photos of this sacred time. My profile is on private and only friends would have seen it,' Ms Sepulveda told Daily Mail Australia. The stylist posted three photos to her Facebook and was notified on Tuesday they had been flagged because of nudity.
'I was so shocked. It's sad to think we allow terrorist bloody photos, violence, crime, animals being punished and boobs and bums are showcased everywhere,' she said. 'But a photo of a pregnant woman ripe and ready to birth a child, which is so normal, is offensive? It's just crazy.'

Ms Sepulveda was contacted by Facebook via message saying she could fight the ban or just allow it to take the photo down. She argued there was nothing offensive about the photo and told them she wouldn't be deleting it. 'I have seen (pregnant) celebrity photos (in magazines) and thought how beautiful they are sharing the massive change their bodies are going through with the rest of the world,' she said. 'Those magazines inspired me to embrace the change in my body and this amazing time.
'It is actually a big thing to do at such an intimate time but I believe that the more women who feel okay to share these photos the better. 'We are always so critical of our bodies and our shape and this is the one time when you have no control as to how your body will change - so to embrace it publicly and be supported is great.' Ms Sepulveda says she received overwhelming support online when she spoke out and a number of women started sharing her photo.
Facebook contacted Ms Sepulveda on Wednesday and informed her the image had been reviewed and it was allowed to remain online.
