Just curious how far along you were if you chose to do a maternity shoot? Were you comfortable at that point in time? Any advice?

Great to hear - was thinking that would be the week we'd do ours. Exactly the feeling I want to avoid for pics. Thanks!

I just did them at 31 weeks. I would say not after 34 weeks as well.

I did mine at 35 weeks . I didn't have too much trouble moving around, although I was really tired the next day. I wasn't swollen, but I've only seen a sneak peak since they were last weekend. It was the only date our photographer had open that also worked for our schedule.

32-33 weeks and that was a good time for me. i'm starting to feel puffy now at 34 weeks.

@lolabee: Thanks for posting this question! I would have had to ask it too! Meeting w/my photog next weekend and I'm going to aim for 32-34 weeks!

I did them at 37 weeks, I was just a little puffy at that point, and I am glad my belly was at its full potential, I love looking at those pictures!

Thanks for the responses! I was wondering if 34 would be pushing the limits. I don't feel like my bump is near big enough yet but I don't want to feel even more uncomfortable in front of the camera. Guessing game really!

@lolabee: judging on your bump photos, I think 34 weeks would be great for you! I totally feel you on wanting the bump to be more prominent and I think that you'd look great at that point!

@birdofafeather: thank you for the reassurance! For some reason December is scaring me with all the holidays (aka eating delicious things, find the self control!!) that I'll blow up or something lol. At this point the choices are early 32 or mid 34, I think I'll stick with the latter for now. Did you post any of your maternity photos? I bet they are to die for!

@Rainbow Sprinkles: I can't imagine you looking like a heifer! Maybe feeling like one tho

@lolabee: we haven't gotten them back yet, but I'll definitely post some when we do! Hopefully in time to send Christmas cards but my photographer friend did it as a gift and I told her not to worry if she had to take care of other weddings first.

I don't have my pics back yet. Hopefully I can post one when I get them.
