Everyone keeps asking to see belly pics...

but I don't really take any? Am I the only one? I notice you girls taking these cute professional belly pics or progresstion pics and I only have a few from when I was on vacation... Maybe I'll regret it later, but right now the less pics of me the better. Not that I'm huge and I love seeing all of your belly pics, but just not that into taking of mine.

Am I the only one not taking lots of pics? Now...when I (hopefully) get back into shape then I'll take the pics of me and the baby. Chat Icon

Re: Everyone keeps asking to see belly pics...

i have taken exactly 3 photos and they were all at 20 weeks. i do NOT have a pronounced belly at ALL...i was plus sized prior to pregnancy and have been on the GD diet for 12 weeks now and have lost just about 14 pounds total.

i was actually at a baby shower yesterday and NO ONE believed I was almost 7 months pregnant....which actually makes me sad. i see all these girls with HUGE bellies and i honestly get jealous! Chat Icon

Re: Everyone keeps asking to see belly pics...

I don't have any either - I took a few in the mirror but didn't keep up w/ it ........

I don't like seeing WEDDING pics of myself in a $5k designer gown w/ professional hair and makeup Chat Icon Chat Icon
The LAST thing I want for all to see are pics of myself 9 months PG !!!
And the professional ones ?? I'd rather die than POSE for them !!! Chat Icon

I Chat Icon those who feel that great about themselves and are loving the way they look -
I personally don't think I look awful, but I don't want to pose for pictures either !

Yup... ITA with everything you said. I totally applaud those girls that take the professional pics, but I couldn't do it myself.

I've taken maybe 4 or 5 different weeks and I'm 25 weeks! I had intentions of doing the every week thing but I just can't/don't. As long as you have a good full belly pic in the end to show LO look, you were in mommy's belly, that will be fine! Chat Icon

Re: Everyone keeps asking to see belly pics...

I try to take them weekly but like Wendy said, I am sending them to my mom & SIL who live OOS & want to see. On the other hand, I know that down the line I will want to look back at my home photos of me pregnant & remember especially with all we went through to get pregnant. I am still in the air though if I will do a professional shoot just bc DH is not really into them

I think it's so cute when I see the pics.


I attempted a pic of myself the other day, I HATED it. I thought I just looked huge, not all cute and pregnant. So I may be skipping the belly shots. I'm not a big fan of pics of myself.

Re: Everyone keeps asking to see belly pics...

The only "belly" pics I have are actually just pics I took on vacation... I keep meaning to take them but by the time I remember I'm usually at home and in my pajamas..

Re: Everyone keeps asking to see belly pics...

I haven't and I am kind of sad I didn't. I wanted to do professional ones but it was costing me to much money to dish out.

Re: Everyone keeps asking to see belly pics...

I take pics to show my mom (who I still see every other day...) and my friends upstate... I dont post many of them here.. but I am proud of my belly.. I hate my chubby face, and my acne, and everything else..It took until week 28-30 to actually have a belly.. and now at 37.. its getting VERY large!!! I only like pics if they are strictly belly pics.. without my face or anything else.. I hate the other ones.. because I look so large!!!

Re: Everyone keeps asking to see belly pics...

I think the photos that other girls take are so cute. But personally I just feel too self conscious to take or post them. I was a size 14 before I got pregnant and I don't have a cute pronounced belly at all. I wonder if it will ever be?

I hate pictures normally, so I have none of the pregnancy-and I am totally ok with it :)

Re: Everyone keeps asking to see belly pics...

I'm not one for taking belly pics. I think the only pics I have are when we were at a birthday party and they happen to be just candid shots, no real belly shots.
