Has anyone else taken NO bump pics?

Madringal · September 2011

I have maybe 3 pics of my bump when I was PG with DD and still none with this PG. I am sure I will be roped into some family pics on Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas, but I have no desire to take them. I think I might regret it later, but for some reason I just can't stand to see myself PG in pics. Anyone else?

I took a few early on, but none since about week 15 or so. I feel like a cow, so the less it is documented, the better.

I don't really have much of a choice, my family is on the opposite side of the country so if they dont get pictures every week I get harassed.

I have maybe one or two accidental pics from last time and none that I know of from this time. I'm not big into having my pic taken, so it's all good.

Nope. I'm the opposite. I only have 2 or 3 pictures of my pregnancy with DD, mainly from family functions, and it makes me so sad. I started taking weekly pics with this one as soon as I got my BFP.

I don't take the pics to stick in a photo album for other people's enjoyment. They could be buried in my nightable drawer in an envelope for 15 years for all I care. But, I know I'll always have them to look back on when I'm old and have an empty house and the time to reminisce.

I don't have many from my first pregnancy and I don't think I have any from this one. I don't have a problem with them, I just never think to take them.

robynlynn83 · September 2011

I have three total pictures from my pregnancies with the girls... I have been better about it this time around just because it is my last and I want some documentation.

jordanmd89 · September 2011

I don't have any. The last time I took a picture at all was about 15 weeks. We are planning on taking our Christmas card pics soon and that will be enough for me.

xxmiyaxx · September 2011

I took some bathroom pics once I found out I was pregnant LoL ...nothing I would share with the public or my family though! (seriously...who wants bare-belly bathroom pics of the side of me in a sports bra and yoga pants? NO ONE!)

I have taken a few mirror pics recently...only because my outfit was cute. For the most part, I forget most weeks! Crying

My hubby is pushing me to do some maternity pics with him (I'm not really into taking pictures, esp professional pics)...he's into the whole pregnancy thing maybe more than me! LOL It's kind of cute though...

SaraTF · September 2011

There are some from a wedding I was in, but other than that there aren't any. It's really not important to me to take pictures every week or month like it is for some people.

kymberleyd22 · September 2011

I've only done monthly pics(starting with the BFP). I figure these will suffice. I have no energy or deisre to to weekly ones. What if I end up with 4 kids? That'd be a LOT of weekly pregnancy photos.

KtotheYtotheM · September 2011

I only have one or two of my last pregnancy, one after I really popped and ones from my baby shower. This time around I haven't taken any but I still kind of look round all over instead of pregnant. I will probably take some later if I ever do look pregnant. For the moment I'm enjoying the ease of picking objects up and stomach sleeping...totally worth just looking chunky!

helloshannon · September 2011

i only have a couple that aren't taken with my cell phone in a bathroom for HDBD. I did do a maternity shoot last weekend and am waiting to see if any of those came out great or not. I intended to do weekly shots but never got into the groove of it.

This! If I don't update our blog at least once a week and include pictures than I start to get harrassed by family & friends. Especially my parents... they'll call just to remind me that I didn't update the blog this week... Tongue Tied . But I'm kind of glad because I know I'll love looking back at these pictures when it is all said and done.

Even now when I look back at week 20 and remember feeling HUGE, I barely even look pregnant compared to now.. so it is nice to have that comparison I think.

jmd22 · September 2011

There have only been a few taken of me so far. My mom took some a few months ago when the bump was just starting to pop, even though I didn't want to, cause I really just looked bloated then, haha. I have taken a few bathroom cell phone pics along the way (cause those are always super flattering) and that's about it.

I do want to take some more now that I actually look pregnant. My baby shower is next weekend, so I know that there will be some taken there, and, my best friend is a photographer, so I may have her do some maternity photos as well....I figure it really is something that I want documented, and I want some nice pics for the baby book too

Mustardseed2007 · September 2011

No bump pics for me. My MIL tried to get me to do it, but I just don't really feel the need to document this time. I'm more interested in after the baby is born and getting good pics of him.

DiademChi · September 2011

I haven't gone out of my way for pictures of the bump. I've been photographed at outings with family and friends this pregnancy, and that's enough for me. I think I'll take only one classic maternity/bump shot late in the third trimester.

Happily Overwhelmed · September 2011

I have taken ZERO! DH keeps asking to do it but he hasn't forced the subject so I haven't caved.

I do don't think it's quite the time I want to be documented. However, at the same time I remember being little and my mom had ZERO photos of being pregnant with me. I wondered forever if I was adopted because of it. lol. For this reason I'll probably try and get one when the nursery is done. Besides that this is our first and who knows what other pictures will show up with other children (me pregnant at their birthday parties, etc). I don't want this child to be horribly left out. But I'm not one to take weekly photos by any means!

JennyLiz75 · September 2011

I only have one that I can find from my son. I kinda bummed about it. I didn't think anything of it then but now I wish I would have documented it better. I felt like a cow with him (gained about 55lbs) but looking back at the one picture it really wasn't bad at all. I actually looked pretty damn awesome!!

silivren · September 2011

I have no pics of my bump EVER - this is my 4th kid. I'm hoping to get some this time around

lilwildthing · September 2011

At this rate this child will think they were adopted. I took several with my first, but with this one I blew up right away and have been pretty self conscious about it. I have a few random shots from different family occasions. I guess I need to get on the ball.

pdstewart1969 · September 2011

ME ME ME....my father recently married (he was a widower) and I was in 1 picture...only because it was him and my nieces (I don't care for his new wife). It was the last day I could wear normal pants.... Stick out tongue

uncharch7 · September 2011

mine will never be shared with the public; they are all in a sports bra and my running shorts, i take them every monday morning before i go on my run. i'm thinking of having DH take a picture this weekend of me; just to have for my pregnancy journal. i have some pics of us together from when i was about 15 weeks PG too but i definitely wasn't obviously showing yet.
