Probably around 18/19 weeks I started getting a noticeable bump. I started taking my bump photos at 5 weeks though. You may want to take one now so you have a before photo to compare to.

You should take them now or soon because when you get a big belly, you will look back on those early "bump" pics and, first of all, marvel at how much the baby has grown, and then tell yourself what a fool you were for really thinking at the time you had a bump- ha! That's what I do when I look at first tri photos - but I thought I was SOOOOO huge-lol....But the coolest thing is to look at like an 8 or 10 week pic, and then at my 24 week pic, and I'm just in awe of how big my baby girl is growing:)

JHO is right! take them early and if you take one each week in the same outfit you can even do an animation of all the shots. I started my shots around 8 weeks and i am so happy and its so funny to compare.

I started taking them at 8 weeks (once we’d heard the baby’s heartbeat) and I thought I had a little bit of something. Now I can look back and realize that I had no change in my stomach at all but I’m glad to have the pictures! I think my bump was noticeable at around 19 weeks but didn’t truly pop until around 24 weeks.

JHoller (and everyone agreeing with her) is right! I felt so large at 10 weeks when I took my first bump picture. Now I look at the pic and don't even see a pudge. Even my 20 week pics I thought I looked big at the time, and now I'm like - look at that tiny little bump on there.

I started taking pictures the day I peed on a stick! Even though being 4 weeks pregnant might not look like anything, seeing a weekly progression from week 4/5 until week 40 is soooo cool!

@Running Elley: "Now I can look back and realize that I had no change in my stomach at all but I’m glad to have the pictures! " Lol!

I'd say my first pic that actually showed anything was at 14w. I texted it to my best friend to tell her I was pregnant! and she got it from the picture alone.
people didn't notice until about 19-21w though.
And now at 32w, people think I am "ready to pop any day"..little do they know.

i'm 15 weeks and just starting my pump pictures this week because i feel like my bump looks like a bump and not excess donuts. i wanted to start earlier, actually... but i'm lazy.

I started at 7 weeks and wish I'd started earlier... while it was likely more bloat that anything in the beginning, I definitely could tell by week 11. By 12 weeks friends and coworkers were noticing!

Here's are some (terribly unflattering) photos from the first few weeks... unfortuntely I was using a crappy camera and they are all grainy! I was holding fruit the size of the baby until I got lazy and stopped doing that!

ETA: Lol, I'm noticing that my boobs & butt grew as much or more than my belly!

I took my first one at 5/6 weeks, but didn't start the weekly ones until almost 9 weeks when I started feeling more bloated

This is the first trimester roundup:

I started taking pics at 10 weeks even though I knew I wasn't really showing yet. But like others have said, it is really fun in the moment to see even the slightest of changes, and then later on, you can go back and look at some of the early photos and laugh because you really thought you were showing at that point when you weren't really showing that much at all. Case in point:

@jholler25: Yup, this. I started taking photos at 7 weeks, I think. I didn't really have anything noticeable until about 13 or 14 weeks, and then at 17 weeks it was like "Oh, hello!" The funniest was at 10 weeks, I took a picture in the morning, before I ate or drank anything, and then another picture right before bed - I wanted to show how bloated I got by the end of the day! In the morning there was nothing, but by bedtime, I looked 17 weeks pregnant. It was ridiculous!

I started to take at 20 weeks, that is when I really "popped" and didn't look like I had a gut.

i think my first bump picture was at 14 weeks. i was too lazy to get started before then. i took another one at 16 weeks, but it didn't turn out very well. now that i'm at 17 weeks, maybe i'll try to be more dedicated about it.
