“Kim Kardashian is naked all over the internet – but Facebook banned a woman for this child birth photo.” BuzzFeed News spoke to the woman taking on the website.
Hill uploaded the photos onto the Positive Birth Movement Facebook page, an organisation she set-up that she describes as "grassroots movement offering positivity about childbirth."
The page has over 10,000 Facebook fans, and runs "positive birthing groups". She told BuzzFeed News that the groups are run by birth workers, doulas, midwives and women who are passionate about birth.
"They all run their groups for free which shows the level of passion for positive change that exists at the moment," she said "Most women have had enough of rising interventions, limited choices and the general imbalance of power in the birth room."
She has not received any comment from Facebook.
She said: "The timing was pretty ironic though as the Kim Kardashian pics were all over the internet, and when you put them side by side, as I did on twitter to make a point, it highlights nicely the way society (and Facebook - which simply reflects society) find women's bodies more readily acceptable when they are passive, airbrushed and sexualised than when they are powerful, active and real."
"At the end of the day, they are just two women's bottoms! But one is ok, and the other not, so it is interesting to think about why that might be," she added.
