That was enough for me. But a lot of people take them weekly or biweekly, too. I started at 12 weeks (when I felt like I was showing), but I wish I had've done one right when I found out I was pregnant, so I could see the total progression. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-for-your-bump-progress-photos#post-497610 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 10:30:11 +0000 lawbee11 497610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took my first one last week at 8 weeks. I think I'll take them every 2 weeks (8, 10, 12, 14, etc.) until I start really showing then maybe every week. I am just using an iPhone app to write the number of weeks on the picture, and I plan to wear the same shirt every week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-for-your-bump-progress-photos#post-497600 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 10:27:41 +0000 Mrs squirreld 497600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks Ladies... I'm thinking I'll start at 6 weeks after I have the doctors confirmation unless I have a super skinny day before then. lol</p> <p>Still don't know how often though...@Foodnerd81: I think I like the idea of every 4 weeks.... or maybe every 2...arghh I dunno. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-for-your-bump-progress-photos#post-497586 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 10:23:22 +0000 Alivoo01 497586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took one the week we found out then one the following week then didn't get a chance to the past few weeks, and took one today for week 10. I'm hoping to do them weekly. I just take them on my iPhone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-for-your-bump-progress-photos#post-497428 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 09:37:16 +0000 Foodnerd81 497428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took my first one at around 5 weeks as a baseline (I was having a skinny day so I wanted that to be my starting photo!) My plan is to do them about every 4 weeks but I've been slightly off-- we did 5 weeks, 9 weeks, and will do 12 weeks this weekend. I do think there is a little something starting to show beyond just the regular bloat now.<br /> I got a little chalkboard that I write the weeks on, so I don't forget to go back and label and not know which week I was. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-for-your-bump-progress-photos#post-497153 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 07:54:53 +0000 JoJoGirl 497153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started right away! My first official pic is at 5 weeks, I think, after I had a doctor's appointment confirming it by blood. I also have a "5 day" photo that I took as a "before" pic for crossfit when I didn't know I was pregnant. It's now officially my "kiss that body goodbye" pic. ha ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-for-your-bump-progress-photos#post-497151 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 07:54:48 +0000 Smurfette 497151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found out at 4 weeks I was pregnant. I started weekly pictures at week 5. We take them every week. I am going to print them off and put in my belly book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-for-your-bump-progress-photos#post-497149 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 07:53:59 +0000 hellobeeboston 497149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started at 17 weeks - just did them on my iPhone and used the LabelBox app to label them.... Haven't done anything with them yet... Not sure if I will print them but love having them for sure!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-for-your-bump-progress-photos#post-497144 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 07:50:57 +0000 lulibee 497144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to do them bi-weekly, though not always on the same day each week. </p> <p>I started about 12 weeks, when I actually started having something to show! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-for-your-bump-progress-photos#post-497131 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 07:18:55 +0000 Mrs squirreld 497131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: what week did you start? :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-for-your-bump-progress-photos#post-497125 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 06:58:59 +0000 Bao 497125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did them weekly but just in front of a mirror. Not very creative, but I love looking back on them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-for-your-bump-progress-photos#post-497124 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 06:57:41 +0000 Mrs squirreld 497124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@char54: hahahahahaha... i totally do this too! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-for-your-bump-progress-photos#post-497122 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 06:54:57 +0000 Charm54 497122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lol I'm curious too!! I push out my belly all the time and pretend it's a bump. Can't wait until I don't have to 'suck it in' anymore!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-for-your-bump-progress-photos#post-497113 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 06:30:38 +0000 evenstar982 497113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>subscribing as I'm also interested in this! I have taken one pic, just as a total 'before with nothing but pooch to show" shot... but I am thinking I'll wait now until probably at least 10 weeks / first appt before I start taking more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-for-your-bump-progress-photos#post-497107 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 06:01:44 +0000 Mrs squirreld 497107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I know I definitely want to do bump progress photos. I'm a professional photographer so have lots of ideas... but not really sure on where to start....I'm 4 weeks today and obviously there isn't anything to show apart from unflattering major bloating! (URGH!) Should I just bite the bullet and start now or should I start at 6 weeks after my first OB appt? Or should I just wait til there is something to see?<br /> and to those who have done them... would you suggest doing them weekly? or every second week? or monthly?<br /> Thanks Ladies... :-) </p>
