1st Trimester

When did you start taking belly pictures?

I am starting at week 9, but I think I should of started earlier since my bloatness is shining through.

Re: When did you start taking belly pictures?

  • Probably week 12 but I wasn't showing until week 14.

    This time, I will start around 14 again. Unless I show sooner...

    I don't want pics of my bloated belly!

  • I haven't yet.   I never really got bloat - I just got "thicker".

  • I started taking 1 every week when I first found out (at 4 weeks) because my mom made me.. But no point because I still look the same in the pictures.. Well exept week 8 and 9 because of bloat!! lol

    Yay! Very cool!

  • I started at 4wks, but did 4w, 8w, 12w and then started doing every week.  I always show early though.
  • i started at 8 but i don't do them every week

  • I started this past week when I hit week 7. And I am glad I did b/c I can feel the bloat starting to set in!
  • Since I am still bloated I think I will start around week 10 or 12.

  • So far I've only taken a 4 & 8 wk pic.  Plan on taking the next this weekend at 12.  I don't have much to take pics of yet.

  • I just wanted to add that I won't be taking more pics till I feel like I am actually showing. But I wanted to see the difference from early on and then once I am showing.
  • I have the belly book so I started at week 6 and I want to take them every two weeks.

    I have the belly book too but it still seems silly to me to take pics that early. One pic while you are still flat to compare later makes sense but otherwise it's just cruel... "And here I am at 7 weeks, totally fat and bloated!" No one says, "Aww! Look at your bloat growing! I am so happy for you." LOL

  • I did the same as kryssy - first pic at 4 weeks (mostly so I could remember how flat my stomach was before getting PG). I plan on doing them at 8 and 12 weeks, then see how big I'm getting and if I want to do it more often after that.

  • I took one at 4weeks just to sort of see how I looked pre preg. but I will continue to do them every four weeks until I start to show.
  • I had DH take my pic at 4 wks (litterly the day after I found out) because my SIL bought me a memory book and it asks for a belly pic every 4 wks.
