I had my baby at 36 weeks!! So you might try to squeeze your shoot in a few weeks prior!!<br /> ETA: I did mine at 33 weeks, and it was perfect timing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-36-weeks-too-late-for-maternity-photos#post-697006 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 23:45:16 +0000 tlcbaby 697006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: I think that is what I am worried about - if I start feeling contractions I guess I'll put on a dress and tell my husband to get the camera and take some pictures! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-36-weeks-too-late-for-maternity-photos#post-696663 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 18:46:53 +0000 Ginger333 696663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had mine taken at 38 weeks :) I'm with @lemondrop, as long as you're still pregnant, it's not too late :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-36-weeks-too-late-for-maternity-photos#post-696077 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 10:35:34 +0000 lemondrop 696077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's only too late if you deliver the day before :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-36-weeks-too-late-for-maternity-photos#post-696048 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 10:23:03 +0000 sarac 696048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did mine at 28 weeks, and my bump isn't that big. I wish it had been later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-36-weeks-too-late-for-maternity-photos#post-695927 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 09:13:19 +0000 shopaholic 695927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did mine at 36 or 37 weeks! If you're up for it do it! I will say that I did start getting tired the last 45 min. I'd bring some water and snacks if you can. We couldn't bring a lot of stuff to our location and I wish I did because I was losing steam at the end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-36-weeks-too-late-for-maternity-photos#post-695873 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 08:32:03 +0000 lolabee 695873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think if you're comfortable go for it! I did mine at 35+6 I wish I could have waited longer because my tummy wasn't very big...it was a good thing I didn't though as I went into labour at 37+5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-36-weeks-too-late-for-maternity-photos#post-695732 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 07:00:02 +0000 anbanan15 695732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had mine 37/38. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-36-weeks-too-late-for-maternity-photos#post-695652 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 02:10:25 +0000 tlcbaby 695652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks ladies! That makes me feel better. I've usually heard people do them earlier so I was a little nervous about it, but I feel great still and I am getting around pretty well. Lets hope that sticks around for a few more weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-36-weeks-too-late-for-maternity-photos#post-692991 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 20:15:08 +0000 MrsStar 692991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you're comfortable enough then definitely go for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-36-weeks-too-late-for-maternity-photos#post-692968 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 20:06:33 +0000 sslm 692968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's around the time I did mine! I would go for it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-36-weeks-too-late-for-maternity-photos#post-692948 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 19:54:46 +0000 mrsjyw 692948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Go for it!!, if you're feeling good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-36-weeks-too-late-for-maternity-photos#post-692880 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 19:24:19 +0000 littlecasita1122 692880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had mine done at 36 weeks - it was perfect timing for me as my bump was definitely large enough and my feet and face didn't start to really swell until the week after. I felt pretty comfortable at 36 weeks, just waddled around a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-36-weeks-too-late-for-maternity-photos#post-692879 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 19:24:15 +0000 Lindsay05 692879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think if you are comfortable then I say do it! I think it fully depicts the whole maternity aspect. </p> <p>I took some at around that time and it was the first time I really seen myself pregnant. I never let anyone ever see those pictures! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-36-weeks-too-late-for-maternity-photos#post-692834 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 19:04:08 +0000 birdofafeather 692834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just did them for a gal at 38 weeks. She looked great! Go for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-36-weeks-too-late-for-maternity-photos#post-692773 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:46:44 +0000 prettylizy 692773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say go for it. As long as you feel comfortable I think the later the better :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-36-weeks-too-late-for-maternity-photos#post-692766 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:44:56 +0000 MsMini 692766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did mine at 37 weeks, and despite a bit of swelling, I am happy I did, they really showed my bump in its full glory! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-36-weeks-too-late-for-maternity-photos#post-692749 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:38:49 +0000 Alivoo01 692749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you're up for it, go for it! My photographer said she prefers weeks 32-35 because the belly is still "perky" aka the baby hasn't dropped yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-36-weeks-too-late-for-maternity-photos#post-692720 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:25:46 +0000 allison 692720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did mine at 40, actually. I didn't have very much swelling, though. I say if you feel comfortable with it, go for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-36-weeks-too-late-for-maternity-photos#post-692642 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 17:56:40 +0000 Arden 692642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did mine at 37, after they were postponed when my photographer got sick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-36-weeks-too-late-for-maternity-photos#post-692640 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 17:55:33 +0000 tlcbaby 692640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend agreed to take our maternity photos, but she would like to wait until May so we can get past Ky Derby time and she'll be done with school for the semester. </p> <p>I'll be 36 weeks by then - do you think that is too late? Did anyone else have theirs done this late or did you have them done earlier? </p>
