1st Trimester

Are you taking / planning to take belly pictures?

If so, how often do you plan to do it and do you have any neat ideas about it?With baby #1, I took a picture of my belly every two weeks start 10 weeks (I think). I want to take pictures this time around for comparison. I want to do something different though, but cannot think of much. The picture below is what I did first time around up to 30 weeks, I don't have it uploaded until fullterm on photobucket though.

    I plan on starting tomorrow at 6 weeks. I have an app on my phone that keeps track of the photos each week so you can flip through like a slide show and see the changes.

    I'll probably start around 8-10 weeks.

  • Yes- I'm taking them but I'm not sure how often I will do it. I took one when I first found out and then another one at 12weeks.... I'm not really showing yet so when I start showing I'll take them much more regularly.

    The only difference between mine and yours is that my husband takes them with my smiling face showing so it is a full profile and not just my stomach...

  • I took one at 6 weeks to have record of the insane bloat, lol... I took 1 at 10 weeks, because it's actually getting harder (and it looks better than my 6 week... I didn't get a good "before" picture, so I needed to redeem my 6 week, haha).. I think I'll take another at 12 and then do every 2 weeks.

  • I'm going to do them, but I wish I would've taken one when I first got my BFP for comparison.  I'll probably start around 12/13 weeks.  Right now I'm "showing" only bloating and I can't bring myself to take pictures of the bloating!  lol!

  • I have been... its interesting to see the bloat go up & down & then go into a more real shape that may be forming a bump. :)

  • Yes. I did them every week. I'm happy I did.

  • For comparison sake, I'll take them once a month. I plan on having "professional" ones done in Oct during my DD's 2 year photo shoot. We have a friend that does photography, and I had 3 informal photo shoots when I was pregnant with #1, but don't think I'll go all out this time.
  • Unfortunately, being plus-sized, there is not likely to be a noticeable difference for a bit.  I hear women 5-6 weeks saying they can tell a little bump is there, but not me. 

    Maybe when I get to that point I will.  This will be the last baby.

     This, exactly.  We found out at 10dpiui, so I was still nice and flat.  Now I just feel like I look like a girl who needs a bigger shirt to hide her belly fat, so I can't force myself to take a pic.

    P.S. Sorry about the double.  Sometimes my computer just likes to be an a**ho!e.

  • I have a few pic of me pregnant from my first but I did not take "belly" pictures I think mainly because I did not start with a cute little flat belly.  I was thinking of taking them in a tank top when I get my ultrasounds to compare and making sure I have lots of pics when I am big because this may be my last too.  Also we always take family pics around christmas and I will be 8+ months pregnant so I will get a prof. pic of me pregnant but I will be with my family not on my own.
  • for a second I thought about taking them this time holding the fruit they say the baby is the size of in front of my belly.  thought it was a cute idea but i probably won't do it myself

     

  • I never took belly pics with #1, and I don't plan on it with #2 as well. To be honest, I just don't get it. I don't want to track the size of my growing uterus.

  • Like pp my DH took full shots of me.  We always took them in front of the fireplace.  I might stand in front of something else for this baby.

    I have The Belly Book where there is a spot for a photo every week. I'm a little behind this time (only taken 2 so far) but I have the same book filled for my pg with #1.

  • WIth dd I started the day I got my +hpt, I wanted to remember how flat my tummy was, lol. I did the same for this pregnancy.

    I try to do them every week or so.

  • I did with DD. I don't know if I will with this one though. Since I'm still covered in stretch marks they wouldn't be so cute.

  • I havn't decided.  I have been taking them for my own use  but I'm not sure about professional ones or sharing.   I'm pretty self concious about my body and to have people pay attention makes me even more nervous.

  • I'm taking one everyone every week in my iphone app, but I think I will start taking one every week with the real camera around week 10. Anyone seen the "9 months gestation in 20 seconds" on you tube? it is the coolest thing ever.

    Right there with ya!  It makes me sad to see all the pictures of the changing bellies and their ability to watch their babies grow.  I could probably get to 6 or 7 months and no one would know the difference.  Wish I could take the weekly pics but for me, there is no point.

    This. 

    I started when we found out at 4weeks (took a pic of my BFP), and I've taken one pretty much every week after that. I try to take one on the same day each week for continuity's sake. It's cool to see the really subtle differences in each picture. Although in the first 4-6 weeks it was mostly boob ;)
