One at 20 weeks and another one at 30. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-taking-weekly-bump-pictures#post-67825 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 09:50:53 +0000 bushelandapeck 67825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started at 6 weeks. I don't see much of a difference in the photos between 6-11 but now that I'm 14 weeks I can definitely see a small bump growing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-taking-weekly-bump-pictures#post-67675 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 18:27:40 +0000 PennyLainne 67675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started right away too. I wanted a before picture to look at :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-taking-weekly-bump-pictures#post-67673 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 17:50:40 +0000 mamabolt 67673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started right away but got upset because I didn't really like looking at pictures of myself looking chubby instead of pregnant. Plus then I dropped my camera on the stone floor in our house and broke it. Now at 20 weeks I am just getting a bump and had DH take a pic this week...we'll see if I can keep it up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-taking-weekly-bump-pictures#post-67667 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 17:26:41 +0000 twinmama 67667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started at 12 weeks. I originally wanted to start sooner, but I was just so nervous in the first tri that I didn't. Looking back, I wish I had one earlier in the pregnancy so I could remember how much skinner I was. But I had IVF bloat, so it probably wouldn't be that great ;) But 12 weeks was when I actually started showing, so it was a good starting point for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-taking-weekly-bump-pictures#post-67655 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 15:48:21 +0000 ohapostrophe 67655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: oh don't worry...it will happen! And if you're like me you'll miss the smaller version ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-taking-weekly-bump-pictures#post-67650 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 15:41:10 +0000 sorrycharlie 67650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ohapostrophe: I am waiting so patiently for boob changes!! (as is DH..). I lost 20 lbs after our wedding (more accurately - I put ON 20 lbs stress eating before the wedding) so I lost a cup size! I haven't had any boob pain yet. hmpf. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-taking-weekly-bump-pictures#post-67640 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 15:13:53 +0000 ohapostrophe 67640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started right away at 4 weeks...you need a before! And although there were no bump changes that early, I could see boob changes- ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-taking-weekly-bump-pictures#post-67582 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 12:35:27 +0000 tlcbaby 67582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started at 7 weeks. Even if there isn't a huge change at first fro week to week, I still think it will be fun to look back on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-taking-weekly-bump-pictures#post-67513 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 09:56:10 +0000 pastemoo 67513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cvbee: :P mine look the same from 4-7 weeks and 8-16 weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-taking-weekly-bump-pictures#post-67507 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 09:33:12 +0000 cvbee 67507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started right away, and then I noticed they all looked the same. I really started my 'official' collection at 16 weeks and I only took them every 2 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-taking-weekly-bump-pictures#post-67503 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 09:25:30 +0000 looch 67503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awww, I wish I did every week, but I was afraid of jinxing the pregnancy, so I took the first one at around 7 weeks, after the first doctor visit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-taking-weekly-bump-pictures#post-67457 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 23:43:54 +0000 sera_87 67457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i probably won't be taking any bump pictures at all. I already have a bump - its called my belly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-taking-weekly-bump-pictures#post-67452 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 23:32:02 +0000 Kemma 67452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 5 weeks at the moment and I took my first picture this morning. My weeks roll over on a Sunday so I'm going to try and weigh myself, take a pic and take a few notes every Sunday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-taking-weekly-bump-pictures#post-67435 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 22:12:37 +0000 tequiero21 67435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: eek, sorry! hope i didn't bring back bad memories =(.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-taking-weekly-bump-pictures#post-67372 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 19:52:32 +0000 pastemoo 67372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Aww. Mine when through some ugly periods. And.... so did my face. It's a hilarious documentary.</p> <p>@tequiero21: No, actually had a miscarriage the first time and so I have a lot of extra photos that I deleted because I was bummed. Although I got pregnant again 6 weeks later, so I guess I'm extremely lucky in that. Actually, that cycle I documented a million things so I could figure out what was going on. I figured the photos might help? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-taking-weekly-bump-pictures#post-67364 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 19:45:52 +0000 tequiero21 67364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: haha! that's crazy! did you get pregnant the first time or did you have to take a handful of pictures? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-taking-weekly-bump-pictures#post-67355 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 19:40:24 +0000 chopsuey 67355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started super early but stopped because my bump wasn't very cute. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-taking-weekly-bump-pictures#post-67348 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 19:31:08 +0000 pastemoo 67348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: it's totally fun to see the difference! :) Yay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-taking-weekly-bump-pictures#post-67339 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 19:22:57 +0000 sorrycharlie 67339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL @Pastemoo, you're not a weirdo.</p> <p>@mediagirl: thank you!! :)</p> <p>@Rubies: @cheesetomywhine: I think I'll start taking them.

I am not the norm... I took when I was charting, soo.... 0 weeks.

I felt silly since there wasn't much of one but that's okay. I had my DH start taking them for me when I hit 16 weeks, the others are all with me holding my phone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-taking-weekly-bump-pictures#post-67306 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 17:58:34 +0000 sorrycharlie 67306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hmm, food for thought. I'm thinking about starting when I complete 7 weeks. So, in my 8th week? the whole thing confuses me.</p> <p>I figure I can always delete them later, right, if they are silly? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-taking-weekly-bump-pictures#post-67304 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 17:56:28 +0000 lovehoneybee 67304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started at 12 weeks. Still pretty much bloat (although I can feel a tiny bump when I'm laying down). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-taking-weekly-bump-pictures#post-67235 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 14:25:08 +0000 roccoandkirby 67235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started at 6 weeks. I'll be 9 on Monday. My husband is the photographer and he laughs at me every week because there's nothing there yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-taking-weekly-bump-pictures#post-67222 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 14:03:36 +0000 cascademom 67222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't taken any at 11 weeks. I won't until I get a bump. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-taking-weekly-bump-pictures#post-67200 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 13:17:44 +0000 yin 67200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recommend starting right away. I took my first bump picture at 12 weeks, and I wasn't consistent with taking pictures every week. I felt like I was so big, and I was very camera shy with my new body. I wish I had gotten over that because I would have loved to document my pregnancy better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-taking-weekly-bump-pictures#post-67181 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 11:40:03 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 67181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to start right away. </p>
