I figure a picture of a baby bump can be sorta deceiving, so I think measuring my bump every time I take a picture might be a better way to see my bump grow.
I'm at 92 cm at 14w2d and pregnant with twins. I'll be curious to see my bump grow when I take another picture in 1-2 weeks.

I did, but it wasn't until I was late 20 something weeks when the OB started measuring fundal height, and I was interested on the circumference.

No, but my OB did. Since I was at the dr so often (at least once/month, went to every other week around 24 weeks, I think), it was frequent enough to see the growth. It got scary (because I was huge) fast, though, so she stopped telling me at a certain point!

No way. The number is too concrete and would have freaked me out. Plus, I don't think I had tape measure long enough.

Nope, i have zero desire to know how big i am getting, provided it is normal! And provided it goes back to normal, LOL!

I wasn't happy with my waist circumference before I was pregnant, so I didn't want a concrete reminder of that! So no, just bump pics and even though I never did very regularly. Maybe this time I'll be better.

Nope!
At my first baby shower we played a game with toilet paper where guests had to unroll toilet paper and each chose the number of squares they thought would correspond with the girth of my bump. If you don't want to be writing down the concrete cm measurement, measuring in a unit like that which is a bit more abstract could be fun!
For example, if you found out you were having boys and measured in matchbox cars or something? Thought I guess you'd need to get a number and convert anyway, so that might be silly.

Ha! I'm sure right now it's a cute bump and I don't mind the size. I'll probably regret it later. Let's see how long this lasts. LOL!

No, but I can see why you would want to. It just sounds like a lot of work to me. Taking a regular picture is arduous enough for me.
