Most of my bump pics were taken in the bathroom at work or home...messy counters, mirror water spots, etc.
@mrstiz had the best bump photos....I want to do something cute for a future pregnancy!
-
No, I barely took any, wasn't interested. But I do have pro pics of both pregnancies.
-
um. no. My bump pics were in my office washrooms!
-
I was so good about it with the first, very sporadic with the second.
-
DH always took them for me, but I didn't have a cute board like @mrstiz: !
-
yes, I took them outside along our fence in the same outfit once a month. I made a little framed sign that I changed with each month. I am so glad I did, both as a keepsake and so that when I am preggo with #2 (fingers crossed that happens) I can use it as a reference! I know I will want to compare LOL.
-
I did cute ones when I was pregnant with Liam. I can't believe I actually did them every week! I've done one like those so far this pregnancy, and a few of the bump from above looking down at Liam. Poor second child!
-
most of mine are in the bathroom with a spotted mirror, I take them last minute (usually when I'm having a decent hair day ha)
-
Not monthly photos, but I did do a maternity shoot at 34 weeks.
I also have a cute pic of me and my sister (we were both pregnant at the same time)
-
Kind of? My husband took a series of them, they're not numerically significant, just kind of when we felt like it. I did manage to wear the same thing in each photo though, and I did one after my son was born.
-
I took a few cute ones at the beginning of my pregnancy with LO 1 but DH sucks at picture taking so so far with both, most are messy counter bathroom photos.
-
i made a chalkboard but i've only taken 2 so far. i didn't start showing until like 17-18 weeks... so my first is 18 weeks and my second is 20 weeks. i'll be taking another one this thursday. they're just iphone photos but i think i'll be glad to have them one day. although my bump looks enormous in them! i feel like it's much smaller in real life!
-
I have been doing weekly photos from 12 weeks on. Usually on Saturday. If someone is around they take it of both of us. It's been fun to document our travels. I wear different outfits. I'm putting together a book. But I'm a photographer so this was really important to me since we have the skill and gear to pull it off. Attached is a recent shot on film.
-
My office bathroom is well documented.
I was in a friend's wedding at 32 weeks last time and thought those pro pics would suffice because we had to cancel my maternity session.... they didn't. I looked like a cow.
I have no interest in documenting my fatness this time around.
-
My husband took weekly pictures of me for my first pregnancy, and I wore the same two outfits each week. This time I still take weekly pictures, but they are just bathroom selfies for the most part.
-
yep!
-
I took weekly photos for my IG and blog!
-
I do bathroom selfies just like I did with LO.
-
We took weekly pics in the same spot with E. But I haven't done anything with them and he's 2.5 now... oops
-
@youboots: beautiful! I love the look of film shoots.
I had my husband take my photos. Started with weekly but then got lazy and did monthly. Got quite a few in before she was born, though! All of them were under the same tree so we got to see it go from Fall to Winter to Spring.
-
Yes but I only take them every now and again. I don't think I've taken but one during the third trimester thus far...yikes lol
-
I've been doing them with my tripod and dslr every 4 weeks or so. Last time DH took them more often but with an iPhone. This time, quality over quantity.
-
Mine were kind of plain but I made a point to do them in front of a wall or door for a clean setting
-
I am trying to take a standard outfit one (fitted black tank that says "Due in April" from Motherhood Maternity, with black leggings) whenever the mood strikes - which has only been once so far, but will probably be again this weekend. My bump progression hasn't been very dramatic, even now at 23 weeks, as I'm pretty thin with a long torso. I've been getting some flak from my mom for not taking more pictures.
We did take a bunch on our our babymoon this month, so I guess those count, too.
-
I didnt with my others, I had maternity photos with my daughter but rarely documented either. I will for my last Can you link Mrs Tizs photos Id love to see!
-
I didn't with LO #1 and I haven't, really, with #2. I know it's terrible but I HATE how I look while pregnant and just really don't care to have a forever reminder of it.
-
We did. My husband and I are photographers, and love documenting life ... Documenting the pregnancy was important to us. Here's a photo from this week last year. I love going back through the weekly posts on our personal blog.
-
I didn't really... I wasn't even consistent with taking them every week!
-
I don't feel the need for a photo every week. I'm aiming to do 4-5 for the whole pregnancy, and do them well - nice outfit, makeup, chalkboard, good lighting.
-
Nope! Just a bunch of sad selfies
-
@HLK208: haha same here!
-
@littlejoy: Beautiful bump shot!
I did the chalkboard/weekly bump pic with self-timer.
-
@shopaholic: Cute! One of my friends did a chalkboard each week. I loved keeping up with her pregnancy.
-
I think I took one at 16 weeks when I thought I had "popped" - one at 34 weeks when I was huge, and one at 40+4 when I was a whale.
-
We did a mini photo shoot at 28 weeks for holiday/maternity pics.
I'm also taking monthly(ish) bump photos - just a side shot in front of a dark wall that I'm hoping to use in a pregnancy/baby book. -
@autumnlove: She did have the best pictures!!
Mine were the same as yours, messy counters, water spots on the mirror, bad lighting! I did do one every week though! -
Yes, for both kids!
I was really over it with baby #2, but felt like I had to to be fair!
-
@littlejoy: your bump shot is beautiful!
-
Yes, I worked hard to keep it up and while I'm not a pro photographer it was fun.
-
@kjpugs: I remember following along with these photos!! I loved the shirt idea.
