Don't have a blump/bump much yet ik but I love progression photo ideas, It's so much fun to document the change. This time I'm doing the count down shirt with numbers ( so much easier). Last time I did foods but that got tricky at the end to find the right foods and do you really want to buy it if you have no interest in eating it I've seen some people do objects too, that would be a good alternative to the food option. If not a blump/bump yet maybe share progression photo ideas?... ( Ordered this off Amazon )
@juliebird6 yes it is. It has ruched sides, although I'm a little concerned about the length to be honest. Thought it would be longer, if it gets too short I might just put an under shirt for the photos. But so much easier to keep up with this time so I'm happy with it so far.
@livinthesunnylife I'm holding the shirt against my body a bit so it's a bit deceiving, it's too wide on me now and bulges out in a weird way with the ruches. Not something I would wear on public but good for the purpose.
In my last BMB we had a rule that in HDBD pics you had to be clothed, no bare belly/ naked pics! Thoughts?
I support this 100%

Yay genetics giving me a floppy pooch pre-pregnancy, that with PCOS, has been impossible to lose. So I'll probably be able to hide the fact I'm pregnant for quite some time before I start showing and then I'll probably just look fatter.
@ecwk so glad someone brought this up! In my last group there were a few 'ladies' who posted in only their undergarments?! I just couldn't understand... I don't gif but someone please feel free to add one with a puzzled gasp for me. Lol thanks
I'm just here to say everyone is looking fab. my blump is full of Panera bread so I'm out this week. Also I agree on the clothed bumps only. Naked bumps can go back to Instagram AH posts where they came from.
@derbysquirrel for now it's for pictures of the bumps. Once the littles are born, it's for pictures of them! Which is sooooo much cuter! My other group is still going strong with the weekly (not-so) baby pics!
@rosalie0208 That's true for all of us FTMs, haha. I don't expect an actual baby bump until 15 weeks + and I don't think anyone here has hit 13w yet. Mine is spaghetti and waffles

I'm a third time mom and I don't expect an actual baby bump for a long time either. Mine is absolutely bloat and holiday weight.
I don't know, it seems like it has to be bloat, but my stomach is way hard? I don't mean in an in-shape way, I mean in like a full of water way. And it's much higher than my first.
Mines total bloat food and pooch but it's definitely getting noticeable to me cknpared to even Christmas time. I didn't show with my first obviously until after 20 weeks. Right now my stomach look so how it did around 16 weeks last time!
This is my mom clothes. I’m not even sorry. And I’m still 99% sure this is pizza and mac n cheese. But I love seeing the pics. So I tried to take one. And it is a bumpy bump. I’ll allow it. Lol. 11w5d.
All you ladies in your form fitting clothes, and I’m literally in my hugest sweatpants and sweatshirt possible. Next Wednesday, I’ll try to pick my tight, “sexy” sweatpants.
It’s amazing how even this eatly how differently our bodies grow!
This is us baby 4 and preg 6, and the last 2 losses being so recent contributed to showing faster... but honestly I was similar for 1-3 too. And at all different weights too.
These 2 weeks since I started working I’ve only been wearing those big drapey scarf sweaters pulled/draped over. Basically... I’m wearing blankets. Anything else and they’ll all know
