I do mine every other week on the weekend. Any more than that is too much work since that is the only time I actually put on make up and do my hair. I look like a hot mess every other day.
I also do them weekly...it's fun to see the progression:) Plus it gives me a reason to get dressed in normal clothes and do my hair at least once a week (i work from a home office so I dont often wear anything other than jeans and a sweatshirt)
I do them when we start a new month. It's frightening to see how much bigger I get in a month. I'll probably regret that I've got this documented one day now that I think about it...
One of my friends at work has been taking them weekly and posting them on facebook. I thought it was silly at first and was kind of embarrassed, but my friends and family who live out of town really love seeing them. Plus another friend said they'll be great to print and put in a scrapbook for the baby, which I do think is a cute idea.
I've taken one at least every few weeks. I didn't have many from being pg w/ DD b/c it generally didn't occur to me to take pics and I regretted not having many.

I took them monthly until about 20 weeks and now take them weekly. I have a small scrapbook for my pregnancy (I'm big into scrapbooking) that shows the progression along with copies of the ultrasound pictures and any other milestones.
i take them weekly also, hair done or not..i must admit though looking back to the begining of pregnancy to where i am now makes me wonder why i want all of these 'growing' pictures, but i guess its cool to be able to look back on.
I didn't start taking bump pics until 20 weeks. Now I'm not on a schedule, I just have them taken when there is an opportunity. I've been able to get pictures two weeks in a row now.

This. I take one every 5 weeks (I started at 15 weeks when I started to show). I only took a couple when pregnant with DS and did not think of it being a way to track his growth (or mine!). Looking back, I really wish I had taken more.
I take one every Sunday, on the day I complete another week... I have them posted to photo bucket in a scrapbook type thing so my family/friends can see the progression I also have been printing them off and putting them in my baby book.

Before being put on bedrest, I would take them weekly starting at week 13. I've taken two in the last month (shh, don't tell my docs). I never know which will be the last opportunity to take a pic, so I try whenever I get dressed (which isn't often as only one of those two in the last month was when I was wearing clothes).
In the beginning I only took a few, MAYBE every 4 weeks or so. Once it started to actually look like I could be pregnant (between 16-18 weeks) I started doing them every week.
I honestly love them and love looking at them. I post the best two of the week (usually a front-facing picture and a profile picture) to our shutterfly page so my sister and other family and friends who don't see me regularly can check them out.
Re: Do you take a bump pic every month?
I take one (just in the bathroom mirror) every week and post it to Facebook. I can scroll through real fast and it's like a flip book.

lol, I thought I was the only one who did that
I have yet to take a single bump picture. I have pictures of me at Thanksgiving but I wasn't really showing then.
I am not about documenting my trek into whaledom.
