Re: HDBD 3/22
I'm only 13+5 but I feel like I got a giant bump (pre-lunch photo). It's much lower set than the bloating bump from before and never goes away, so I feel like it must be baby. After eating dinner, though, I swear I look 6 months pregnant! I thought it took much longer to get your bump, especially for your first pregnancy
@jennaverhaeghe Great idea to wear a dress in your pics, so you don’t have to worry about both a shirt and pants towards the end of your pregnancy! I like that you only took them every 4 weeks, too! That makes each new picture obviously different than the last! It’s probably much easier to keep up with them only every 4 weeks as well!
I took my baseline (“before”) pics in front of a white wall on February 12th at 7 weeks, intending to do the same outfit in front of the same wall every two weeks throughout pregnancy, but I wasn’t very happy with the pics. Here’s an example:
I didn’t like how I looked, and there was nothing at all in the picture except me to look at, which felt uncomfortable and boring. Also I needed that blank wall space where I had been standing, to put the changing table I bought on facebook marketplace! So I decided to scrap the whole project and just take the rest of my bump pics outside in front of a pretty tree or something.
we don’t have a great blank wall spot, so this spot has nice natural light and is what we used in 2019
