When are you going to start your bump pics? Then how often will you take them?

    Ahhhh I'm struggling with this this time around.  The first 2 times I started taking them at 4 weeks and did them monthly.  I want to do them again but I recently found one from one of the earlier pregnancies and it hurt.  But I would hate for this pg to progress and not have them.  So I think I plan on doing them monthly.  I've seen some really awesome ways to display them on pinterest :)

    Some do it before the bloat hits, I didn't. So I'll wait until about 8 weeks, then every four until later on.

    I started at 5w and do weekly pics. I did the same for pregnancy #1. There might be no "bump" to show for a few weeks, but it's still fun to have the record of how you looked throughout pregnancy. I like to post a photo on my blog baby book for each of my weekly updates.

    I am starting the same as with baby #1- 6 weeks. I do them weekly, in the same dress. It was awesome to see the growth!

    I started the day we found out 3w6d.  And then took another the next day at 4w and have taken them weekly.  I have a black maternity tank that I wear with black leggings.  There was already a big difference (yes, it's bloat) between 4w and 5w. 

    It all depends on what you want to do.  I'm keeping a journal with how I'm feeling and with letters to the baby.  So I'm including the pics in that.

    i took my first "before" bump pic the day i peed my first positive pregnancy test.  i then took them weekly with my first pregnancy.

    i haven't taken any so far with this pregnancy, and i'm just about 7 weeks now.  i should start soon, though, because i'm already noticing a specific change in the shape of my belly that i suspect isn't 100% bloat.

    With my first pregnancy I did not take any pictures except for some at 36 weeks.  But with this pregnancy I found a monthly picture journal at Hallmark so I took one at 4 weeks and then every 4 weeks after that.  It comes with a cute little prop that says the weeks and then on the back of the card it asks you different questions and you put all of this in your album that it comes with.
