Not wanting maternity pictures

lilcat18

Anyone else not wanting pictures of themself pregnant? I’m not just talking about professional ones, I mean pictures at all. Apparently I have relatives that want to see “my bump” and I don’t want that. Im currently 27w3d with my first and feel like I’m the only one that doesn’t want to commemorate this. My mom took pictures of me this weekend, even though I told her not to, because my grandmother wanted to see. My baby shower is in less than 2 weeks and I feel like I want to tell people not to take pictures. 
For anyone else that feels like this, how do you deal with it?

Hi! We have a whole intro post, weekly check ins etc. we try and avoid random one off posts, this would be super great for a weekly randoms, your check in rant, a UO type post. Just don’t be surprised if you don’t get a lot of feedback... we don’t know you and if looks like you just joined the Bump.

That’s fine. I’m not sure how to delete this. I’ve been a member for several months but don’t like posting things. Sorry.
