am i the only one who doesnt take belly pics?

I feel like such a bad mommy.. I wasnt on LIF until the last month of my last pregnancy so didnt even think of doing the whole belly pic thing..

I feel guilty if i did this pregnancy since i didnt do last. I took pics of my belly the last month but with my shirt over.. im belly shy..

Re: am i the only one who doesnt take belly pics?

I am the same way! and this is my first! I have taken some, but not every week.

Re: am i the only one who doesnt take belly pics?

I haven't taken any belly pics, I started off with a big belly and I'm sure I'm not showing yet. Maybe when I have a pregnant belly I will, but in the meantime, I'll spare everyone my natural fluff!

Re: am i the only one who doesnt take belly pics?

I probably wouldn't have thought of it without this site.

Even after seeing people do it I wasn't planning to take pics, because I am heavy and didn't think I'd want to look back on the pics, but after 5 months of seeing so many really cute belly pics I changed my mind. This could be my only pregnancy I definately want to remember this

Re: am i the only one who doesnt take belly pics?

I haven't taken any yet & I am almost 23 weeks. I want to but I always forget to ask Dh to take them for me. I don't have a decent mirror in my apt to take them myself.

Re: am i the only one who doesnt take belly pics?

I am not as dilligent about it as most people, but I am trying to take them every few weeks.

Re: am i the only one who doesnt take belly pics?

I've only taken a few to send to my parents who live out of state, other than that, no I haven't really taken any. Maybe I'll take one at the very end to remember what I looked like.

Re: am i the only one who doesnt take belly pics?

I don't have any desire to take pics. I'm sure there will naturally be pics of me PG since I'll be about 8 months at Christmas! I can wait until then!

I'm also the type that is going to start a baby book and then forget to do any updates and what not. Bad mommy! I told my mom she has to take over the baby book responsibility!

Re: am i the only one who doesnt take belly pics?

I havent taken any.

Re: am i the only one who doesnt take belly pics?

we've taken a few.... but only something like 8... definitely not every week.

DH wants to take them more regularly now that Scone is inflating so quickly....

Re: am i the only one who doesnt take belly pics?

I did last time but with a toddler now, I haven't had any time.

Re: am i the only one who doesnt take belly pics?

I've taken some and think I'm finally ready to share. Our computer at home is not hooked up to the internet right now but when it is I'm going to post some. I'm HUGE but I don't care. I love my big belly!

Re: am i the only one who doesnt take belly pics?

I didnt with AJ and wont with this baby either. It just isnt me.

Re: am i the only one who doesnt take belly pics?

I try to take them every 2 weeks--mostly out of guilt because we took them at Week 16 and then not again until Week 20 and the difference was

Re: am i the only one who doesnt take belly pics?

I only took one b/c I was away. But other than that, it's not something I do either.

Re: am i the only one who doesnt take belly pics?

I take them every week. This is the first time in my life that I feel proud to have no waistline.

Re: am i the only one who doesnt take belly pics?

I havent taken any belly pics with any of my pregnancys..Thats just the type of person I am I dont think it makes you a bad mommy.

Re: am i the only one who doesnt take belly pics?

I'm not comfortable in my body to do it. I want to and may at 20 wks once my belly actually looks like a preggo belly

Re: am i the only one who doesnt take belly pics?

I have not taken any because I am larger in the middle to begin with and IMO, I don't look pregnant, just "chubby"!

Maybe as my belly begins to look more like a pregnant belly I will...we'll see.

Re: am i the only one who doesnt take belly pics?

DH wants to so bad, but i'm just not into it...not now anyway. I don't look pregnant yet, I just look...thick. Maybe when I have more of an actual belly I'll change my mind.

Re: am i the only one who doesnt take belly pics?

I take pictures standing to the side so you can see my belly, but with my shirt down. When I was pregnant with my DS I think I took one or two with my shirt up. I do not take pics every week, but I take some each month.

ETA: You should not feel like a bad mommy.

Re: am i the only one who doesnt take belly pics?

I only started taking pics at 37 weeks - I thought it would be nice to have some since I finally feel very pregnant

I always have a shirt on - no need to see all the stretch marks

Re: am i the only one who doesnt take belly pics?

I am not as regimented this time as last. I forget a lot. But I really try.

With Andrew I took them every month on the same day. I love looking back and seeing how big I was then compared to now.

I really have to be more on top of it now.

Re: am i the only one who doesnt take belly pics?

NO NO your not a bad mommy. I havent taken pics cuz im so ashamed of my fat butt. And LIF is just the beginning for you, im sure you will be here to join in on conversations on the parenting board

Re: am i the only one who doesnt take belly pics?

I only took one belly pic last time. I have not done it this time but I think I might have Pregnancy Pics done.
