I did not, and I do regret it. I took maybe 6-7 pics my whole pregnancy, I wished I had more, espeically whole body pics.

Something I'm really looking forward to with my next.

I have been. Just phone pics since my DSLR is not working right now *cries*

They're nothing fancy, just in my bathroom at work ! LOL but I like looking back at them every once in a while.

Nope. There are pics here and there of me at different stages but I did not document it. I don't regret it either (at least not yet). I have gained a ton of weight, I look like crap, I feel like crap, I do not need to be worried about weekly pics, that's for sure!! We also didn't do a maternity session. I was told I'll regret that, too, but honestly, what would i do with those photos? I sure as heck won't be hanging them up anywhere in my house.

@FutureMrsMcK: Oh I hear you on the candid's. I went out this weekend and there were a few pics taken and I REALLY tried to get my belleh out there. LOL. We'll see if it worked once they get posted on FB! haha

@grizz: you're doing better than I am!

I have 4 weeks, 6 weeks, 12 or so, 16, 22ish, 29 (baby shower), and 31 or so (easter), and I think that's it so far. I'm at 34 now so I should probably take one at some point. They're all just random mirror shots, not even in the same mirror.

@LazyLightning: I feel the same way about maternity sessions - definitely not displaying those!

I've been taking them sort of kind of regularly-- I was aiming for every 2-4 weeks at least, and I've managed that so far. it's enough to see progression at least. I'm trying to get better about it towards the end though since I think things will change a little faster. I'm also really happy with my pregnant body- it sounds dumb, but since my belly is the area I have always been self conscious about, I feel really good about the way things have been going. It's just genetic luck so I'm celebrating it while I can-- since i have a feeling it's also going to be where it's hardest to lose later!

I don't need maternity pics though. I'd like a couple of me and DH but nothing professional. Hopefully a friend will just take a few with my DSLR, maybe the weekend of my shower when I'll be almost 35 weeks.

@LazyLightning: lol, i felt the same way!

i have a few candids throughout the pregnancy, and we stopped to take a picture of me before leaving for the hospital. that one made it into the baby book.

I have taken a fair few but they're not weekly be any means. We don't have a full length mirror at home and DH is a terrible photographer so the only time I get a shot is if I stay in a hotel for work and can use the full length mirror in the room! I've got 3, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 22 and 25 weeks so far. I love looking at them for comparison!

I took one every week!

Yes but honestly I hate every minute of it. I need to find a way to make this easier for baby #2 in a few years. I just (literally minutes ago) did mine. I think if DH and I had the same schedule it might be easier- and just do it on a weekend or something. But he works PM and I work 8-5 from home. I never shower until night because our bathroom and bedroom are kind of connected (doorway but no closing door) so he sometimes wakes up. So I have to wait til he's up, shower, put on makeup (stuff I normally do almost never) make sure I remembered to update my shirt (It's a 40-# "calendar" that I cross off weekly, I forgot today so I was blow-drying it and taking pictures while it was still wet!) then have him take the picture before he walks out the door around 12:30 (so he's always in a rush) then HOPE I have a good picture, so I can then PHOTOSHOP it to post that night on the blog. THERE IS NOTHING FUN ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW! But at 15 weeks I'm not showing much, maybe it will be more fun when I am!

i took them every week, but they were just phone camera in mirror shots, nothing special! now that i have a dslr with the next pregnancy i want to take some fancy tripod pics

I took at least one a week! My mom and MIL would ask for one a lot and I wanted to make sure I had a lot. I do agree with others though that I wish there were more candid pregnancy photos of me with DH.

i took about three. while it would be nice to have more, i'm okay without them. the ones i do have are from the end of my pregnancy, which is the time i wanted to remember most because of the big belly!

I started taking them at 9 weeks. Wish I took a before shot! I try to take them once a week, but lately it's been every other week. I have scheduling problems with my DH... I get a shower after work and he gets home after me. So, once he's home, I'm usually not camera ready! (He takes all my pictures for me).

I did every other week, but next time I'd like to do weekly.

i took two the entire time i was pregnant with #1...i don't regret it. so far i've taken 1 while pregnant with #2.

I'm 12 weeks today and I took one photo at 6 weeks but I haven't taken any since! I just keep forgetting; even though I'm not showing yet I still want to document it.
