Weekly Bump Photos

P&Slove · December 2013

Has anyone actually been doing this week by week? I have a couple of friends who are also pregnant and they keep asking me why I haven't been taking pictures of my tummy. I took a picture at the beginning of the week but I was thinking of doing it every 5 weeks or more. Do you really see a difference each week in your photos?

pandadair · December 2013

I have been, but I don't post them anywhere. I don't really notice a difference, but my husband gets all excited about it and it's cute.

busterbeagle · December 2013

I do, although I forgot twice because we were OOT on two Fridays. I see a change but I'm a STM and have grown a lot since 10w. My major motivation was being sad about the lack of pregnant photos I have from the first time around.

hfooter · December 2013

We were going to. But then I got the all day sickness and it seemed like too much work. Now that I am out of the all day sickness I still don't feel like doing it anymore, so I'm not lol.

Mamazon2014 · December 2013

I just look fatter and stil not pregnant so I'm not doing it

stinamarie412 · December 2013

I do them. And the cheesey chalkboard thing that goes along with it. I have missed two, but life gets pretty busy.

MeredithElese · December 2013

I see a change in my baby book from DD. They're all lined up next to each other and it's kinda cool. You might not notice if they aren't like 4 in a row

ecinereb · December 2013

I'm doing them, with a little whiteboard with the weeks on it. I don't notice change week to week but I do over a couple weeks.

lauralou3x3 · December 2013

I'm doing it every 4 weeks so I can tell the changes. I started at 12 weeks when I started changing.

Katemr1146 · December 2013

I had big plans to...we still haven't taken a single one. Oh well.

busterbeagle · December 2013

I just threw mine together quickly to be an AW. They might be slightly out of order because it's not quite as obvious as it feels to me how I've grown from week to week now that I see them all together.

momo214 · December 2013

I wanted too then the ms kicked in. I'm trying to do monthly at best but they're not like exactly I month apart. It's whenever I feel like I look cute and have the stamina to convince DH to take a pic of me.

AugustGlass · December 2013

I haven't taken any. I felt so bad for so many weeks and still don't really have the energy (or desire) to take a weekly picture. I might start doing one a month.

Nmooney1 · December 2013

I have, but nothing fancy. Just quick bathroom mirror shots.

Still think you have the cutest bathroom of all time.

I've always liked the idea of weekly bump pics- but honestly I'm sufficiently overweight that I'm probably not going to really bump out until third tri. I look cute in maternity, and I totally rock it when I want to feel cute and pregnant- but it's all the same belly I had before baby.

I'll make it a point to get lots of pictures when I'm actually rocking a baby belly. I really enjoyed looking at my mom's pictures of her pregnant with me. She was one of those stick thin ladies with the beach ball sized bump though- super cute.

ckandi007 · December 2013

I've been taking weekly photos since week 4. I see more of a change in the length of my hair more than anything, but it's fun to look back to see how the belly changed, too.

Helmink0804 · December 2013

I've been doing them. I put on a dry erase board the week, how many days left, what fruit the baby is and a fun fact. My family loves it. Espically my sister in law since they're in Florida and we're in Ohio.

munsterdani · December 2013

We did with our first pregnancy but not with this one. This poor kid has 2nd child syndrome already! I just took my first bump picture earlier this week to send to my friend who has been begging me for a bump picture. Otherwise, I pretty much suck at life when it comes to capturing this pregnancy!

This. I post them in a shared album on my iPhone for my mom and sisters since they are out of state. Not a huge difference week over week though.

Chellbell20 · December 2013

I do when I get ready for work, just bathroom selfies that I post in the mobile bump album. I see the difference some weeks, others I see nada.

P&Slove · December 2013

Well I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who hasn't been doing it. I do want to take pictures of this pregnancy but I look mostly fat. DH loves the one pic I took and made it his phone background (lol!!) so I guess I'll stick with doing it every 5 weeks or so!

We also did the cheapest bathroom makeover of all time. It used to have floral grandma wallpaper and pink and blue tile. And we still have a badass pink tub.

christieep · December 2013

We just do it every four weeks.

sammy.k · December 2013

Nope. I'm 17 weeks and I've taken one.

Peaceb0ne · December 2013

I'm doing special ones every 4 weeks. I've also been doing weekly HDBD pics, but those are just selfie bathroom pics.

Bootsie327 · December 2013

I started doing it after the bloat started to go down, like week 11ish. It's mostly for my own wanting to see the progress, but I do add the pics to my pregnancy album on FB where I have my ultrasound pics and such. I had friends and fam who were hounding me for bump pics!

awknyc · December 2013

DH & I started at Wk 5 to show the progress. It's funny because week 8 looks bigger than week 9 because of the bloat. The progression week to week is minimal but it's nice to see how things are growing and also pinpoint the week that I popped, which would happen to be this week!

sparklingdiamond · December 2013

I do them weekly. Nothing fancy, just a quick picture. I don't notice a difference until I compare them next to each other!

Christinaruth74 · December 2013

I've done a few, but at 13wks is when I really felt as though I had "popped" a bit, so I need to get my arse in gear and just do 'em. Problem is, there is not a single mirror in my apartment that can easily accommodate the selfie-bump shot, and I always feel awkward having DH take the pic.
He just doesn't know how to properly work my angles. psh.

P&Slove · December 2013

Does anyone wear the same top for their photos? I was thinking of doing that so that I'll definitely see a difference when I do take photos. All my tops tend to make me look different.

I started doing this, but slacked off. I want to again so I can compare at least month to month- every 4 weeks. I missed weeks 11-14 lol so I better get in gear.

mrstengallonhat1 · December 2013

I take them but don't really do anything with them. It's cool to see the transformation in progress, and it'll be nice to remember that I once had a relatively flat stomach when I can no longer see my feet.

Before I was pg, I was convinced that I would have a chalkboard wall and write all this cute crap on it for my weekly pics. Yeah. That didn't happen.

RedInLove · December 2013

DH wanted to, and he's taken 2 pictures.

DaisyTortilla · December 2013

With dd i did them about every 2 weeks. But now I am just way too busy. I usually get one in about every 4 weeks or so if I remember. I wanted to do the whole chalkboard thing...but I never got a chance.

Oh well.

This. I started doing it week 12 and then again week 16. I also take pictures for myself when I feel especially fat; I was taking pictures while I was losing weight and it is interesting seeing the difference between fat self and pregnant self.

I didn't do it while pregnant with DS and I sort of regret it.

hbird0723 · December 2013

I'm so awful at it. I will tell myself don't forget to take one today and then the week will go by. I was good about it at first and now not so much and I feel bad. I'll probably look back and say why didn't you do that. Right now I'm just too tired and not very good at taking pictures in general.
