- Unnamed woman delivered own child at Dianthus MFM Center in Taipei
- Image received 10,000 likes within hours of being posted
- It's thought the image was removed by Facebook's aumoated system
An incredible image of a mother delivering her own baby has been banned from Facebook for being 'pornographic' according to the doctor who posted it.
Obstetrician Lin Tzu-hung, who also goes by his English name Jason, shared the single photo on his personal Facebook account after witnessing the brave patient deliver her child at the Dianthus MFM Center in the Taiwanese capital Taipei.
The unique delivery was possible because of the clinic's pain-free procedures which use local anaesthetics.
The image which features blood and bodily fluids, but no visible genitalia, quickly amassed more than 10,000 likes after the mother gave her permission for him to make the image public.
However the photo, which Mail Online has pixellated, was banned by Facebook after being branded as pornography just hours later.

Doctor Jason Lin with two of the children he helped to deliver. The obstetrician was left disappointed when the image he'd shared to Facebook was taken down
The doctor said he was 'very upset' over the ban after sharing the image with the mother's permission
Doctor Lin took to Facebook a second time later in the day to express his disappointment saying: 'Facebook banned my heart-warming mum self-delivery photo as pornography. I'm very upset.'
It's thought the picture may have been removed by Facebook filter that automatically remove inappropriate content such as nudity.
In the past cancer patients have complained after images of mastectomies have been removed after they were shared to raise awareness.
The doctor re-posted the same picture to his Instagram account, where it is currently still up.
'Let's start following Instagram, then,' he wrote. 'I was planning to move to Instagram anyway,' he added.
Facebook has yet to respond to local reports asking for a more detailed explanation of how their anti-pornography regulation works.
But some social media users in Taiwan said they understood why the platform would seek to clamp down on similar images.
Netizen Tseng Ching-yuan wrote: 'Doctor, your photo was very beautiful; it was full of love. But it was definitely too shocking - not everybody can handle that.'
