  I do a weekly progress post on my blog and I include a photo.  I always wear the same outfit (my first pregnancy I BARELY fit in the clothes by the end). 
  I've also seen some where you hold a chalkboard each time telling how many weeks and some other stats, like how you're feeling or milestones you reached.

  I did this with a chalkboard my last pg I did not start until 13 weeks though due to my loss history. TB IS LAME AND WONT LET ME POST THEM. I will try to do a few through tiny pic later. I am on mobile right now and don't have any of the photos with me.

  I'm happy you asked this because I was wondering when to start. I was thinking after our appointment to hear the heartbeat next week, which for me will be week 7. I love the fruit idea!

  I took one, too, and I was thinking "is that breakfast or bloat or a baby"?! This is my 3rd so I'm sure i'll show sooner, and I've lost 50 pounds since my last pregnancy so there's a lot less room to hide a baby belly.. but still! Surely I'm not showing already?!

  I'm a size 16 girl so I'm thinking I probably won't start showing til 16ish weeks. That's when I'll start taking pics.

  TB app has a place to add weekly photos...so I have actually taken the 4th and 5th pics...but the belly I have right now is definitely not baby belly. I won't take "real" bump pics until I know it's not what I'm currently just carrying around. I LOVE the fruit idea though. I'm totes stealing that for this pregnancy. I was going to just use the wooden ABC/number blocks...heck, maybe I'll do both!

  I was "too cool" for weekly shots last time.  I regret it and will be doing it this time. I haven't started yet.

  I did weekly belly pics starting from 20 weeks (I didn't really start showing until 24-25 weeks). So I'm still trying to decide if I'll start taking pics this time at 20 weeks again or start sooner since I know I'll start showing earlier.

  Last time I planned to take weekly shots but felt so incredibly horrible for the first half of my pregnancy that I never thought I was picture worthy.  I hate myself for that now.  My first belly shot wasn't until 18 weeks last time.  Then I have one at 31weeks, 34 weeks, and the day I went to the hospital.  That's it .  
  
  This time I plan to do better.

  Thanks ladies! I feel so much better...my little meltdown was definitely hormonal...I looked at and edited the pics a little later and they weren't as bad as my pregnancy brain was telling me....

  We are our own worst critics. I try to keep in mind that pictures of me are important for my kids because one day that is all they will have of me. (I lost my mom at 18).

  I love, love, love looking at my old bump pics!  I'll probably take a picture at the end of each month and edit/frame them like I did with DS (he was born early so I'm holding him in the Month 9 picture).  I'll do weekly photos just for me after the first U/S.

  I am doing the chalkboard but the fruit veggie idea is adorable. I started at 4 weeks. Which was nothing. My 5 weeks was terribly bloated and now I've evened back out. Will take my 6 week Friday. I'm doing it early so I can send to my mom who lives far away.

  The bump said hey you can take them early if you want so I did my 4 week and 5 week, definitely BLOATING more last week for sure! Maybe next week I'll show diff between my 4th and 6th

  I like my bump pictures through second trimester. Then it physically hurts me to look at pictures in the last few weeks. How did I have enough room for him in there?

  Took my first bump (bloat) pic today! DH had some fun playing photographer I think. I'm writing a weekly letter/diary to baby to put on each week's photo of what we did and how I felt and how big baby is getting. Check out week 5!

  I just realized that I am painting the wall I took my picture in front of last week, so I think I am going to start over again as of week 6.  I am kind of particular like that.

  
  Me, too. I am debating the right outfit because IT MUST BE THE SAME in all pictures. It must!

  That was my attitude last time around. I wish I had taken some pictures. No matter how awful I looked, it was still special. I don't look like that now, and after this pregnancy I plan on losing weight again. It makes me really sad that I don't have those concrete memories to look back on. I think we have 3 bump pictures total. This time, I'm taking photos every week. Even if they are just cell phone shots. Something. It's better to look back and dislike how you look than it is to have regrets and no way to change them.

  Exactly

  Any tips on outfit? How do you pick something that is tight enough for start, but can fit the bulge later? I thought about buying two sizes of the same stretchy maxi dress? Or buying a maternity top now? Haha, oh dear, if I can't even pick a progression photo outfit, me and bubs are in trouble!
  
  Any experienced mums got any advice?
