3rd Trimester

Anyone else not super into taking preggo pics?

Normally I love pictures. I am always the person who brings her camera everywhere and wants lots of pictures, but this pregnancy I just haven't felt like. I think it is because I spent over half of my pregnancy just looking fat versus pregnant. Now, I still think that depending on what I wear, you can't tell that I'm actually pregnant - I just look like I had one too many doughnuts.

Re: Anyone else not super into taking preggo pics?

  • Yeah, there's been very few pictures taken of me since I've been pg and I'm happy with that, LOL.  I'm not a big picture taker myself but I don't refuse to take pictures.  However, DH thought it would be a fun picture of me holding my bag 'o pee at the doc's office on Friday and took a pic with his phone.  Needless to say, I did not look very amused in that picture:)

  • i love the pictures documenting my belly growth and i WANT to love the rest of me...but yeah, no. my face is so fat that i don't want pictures of it. my shower images showed me just how big i've gotten. i'll stick to belly shots sans face :)

  • I was REALLY into it till I hit 30 weeks. I even canceled getting my professional maternity photos twice. I just got around to taking a few for today just so I had something in between 30 and the "after" photos.

  • me, didnt really keep up on it with DS, and with this one I have only taken a couple.  I will take one on the day i go into the hospital.  LOVE that one from the first pregnancy.  i was so huge!

     

  • I haven't taken a single weekly pregnancy photo either time.  I am not opposed to taking photos, just haven't.  I have a few from the holidays and from a shower, but mainly because it's dd and I in them.
  • I'm a ham in front of a camera but I'm not too happy about taking pictures these days. We have VERY few pictures of me pregnant and I'm ok with that. The less documentation of my wideness...the better.
  • I'm not way into photos normally. Now that I feel enormous, I'm especially not into it. I figure if I have a little girl, I will take weekly photos. My little boy probably won't be all that into pictures of his mom while she was pregnant. At least, my hubby couldn't care less about his mom's pregnant photos.

  • See, I think part of it for me is that *if* I am going to have my picture taken then DH gets impatient because I want the picture to show my bump - but at the right angle so my legs, arms, face, etc don't look fat. He ends up taking a dozen or so pictures of me from different angles just to get one good one. That is likely why I haven't had week to week shots - I don't want to drive him crazy with my obsessive need to not look fat in the photos Smile

  • It's funny because DH and I are both really into photography, and before I got pregnant we would talk about how we should take a picture of me every day during my pregnancy because it would be so cool at the end.... Yeah. We've taken exactly 3 belly shots, and all because my mom asked for them (lives far away). I guess I didn't anticipate just feeling like a fat cow for so many months! I refused to let him take a single picture until it was clear that I was pregnant, and not just chubby!

  • I have not been into pics at all. Not so much because of my huge belly, I like that. I just feel like I gained 100 lbs in my face. Not photogenic at all. I have a few pics and I will suffer through those taken at my shower. Plan do do one on my due date but thats about it.
  • haven't done it. I know myself and I know its not something I"ll charish or go back and look at. Just NMS.
  • i haven't had many pictures taken of me at all. seems like the majority of them were taken around week 27/28, which was when i was visiting relatives for thanksgiving/showers. otherwise i just haven't been photographed much, and i haven't been doing any of these weekly progress self portraits at all. oh well.

  • THe only pictures taken of me pregnant were at Christmas.  Everyone says I will feel guilty for not having any bump pics in the future but I don't even really have a bump!  So, no I am not into taking pregnancy pics at this point.
  • I haven't been good about it lately.  I don't think we've taken a picture since 30 weeks and it's coming up on 34w.  I haven't had any desire to bump in a while, either.  I think I'm just over the excitement of being pregnant and I'm ready to get it over with.  I don't feel like talking about it or taking pictures of it anymore, lol.

  • I have exactly two - one from Thanksgiving and one from Christmas and those were only because my mom made me when we were home for the holidays (we live out of state).  I had every intention of taking weekly pictures, but just had no desire to once I started to show.  Most days, I just feel fat rather than pregnant.  Some part of me feels guilty, but really, I can't imagine anyone else caring or wanting to see them later on, and I don't think I'll miss the reminder of gaining 40+ pounds!
  • I take them like every month or so. But, I hate it. I am huge and only getting bigger. I dont want to document it.
