maternity pics yay or nay?

I feel like I've waited too long and am too big now.  I just dont feel like that cute pregnant person anymore. 

I'm worried that I will really regret not getting them done though...

  • Most of the photogs I know do them anywhere from 32-36 weeks.  I'd suggest getting them in ASAP!

  • I'd get them done :)  I purposefully waited until I was 33/34 weeks - I wanted the biggest belly I could have before I dropped and things got ugly :)
  • yay! ?I did mine at 36 weeks. ?I thought it was a little silly right after we had it done but now that I miss my pg belly, I love looking at them!
  • Do it!  I didn't and I regret it.  I'd love to be able to show Tillman pictures now and say, "That's when you lived inside my tummy."

    TTC #2 for a million years: SA normal, CD 23 bloodwork shows nothing amiss, ovulation detected. Next step: ? maybe CD3 bloodwork to check eggs? All out of pocket, so limited IF tests/treatments.
  • I had mine done at 35 weeks. I have a friend whose photographer will do them as close to your due date as possible. She was like 39 weeks when she got them done...

    It's okay, you're still a cute pregnant person! :-) If you're worried you can't get them done by a nice place, I had mine done at JCPenney and they turned out much better than I expected.

  • I think it sort of depends on how into pg pics you are.  I wasn't and don't regret not doing pics but then again pg pics just aren't my thing.

  • I didn't do them, and I don't regret it, but I also did not enjoy pregnancy.
  • If I were thinner to begin with, I TOTALLY would've done it.  However, I'm not so happy with my weight so I didn't really want to document the extra poundage.  :)  I did have DH take a few pics throughout though.  I have seen some girls get them done with absolutely beautiful results!  I say do it!

  • There are quite a few aspects of pregnancy that aren't great (okay, who am I kidding, they suck sometimes), so my goal is to do as much fun stuff as possible, and that involves maternity pictures. There's no other time in my life that I can think of that I've loved my belly this much.

    So my two cents...talk to a photographer (or studio) and get a feel for it.

  • I got mine done around 35wks.  I never got them done w/DD cause I felt I was too far along and regretted it.  So I got them donew/#2.  I love them.  Spacystaci did a great job.  My favorites are on her blog...

  • I also vote Yay!   and I second having SpacyStaci take them, she did a great job on mine too =)
  • I vote Nay 'cause although I'm a huge photo-person, pro maternity pics are not something I would display in my home, so I skipped them. I have pleny of preggy photos I can show my son.
