My husband took pictures of my stomach every month. I really thought it was a stupid idea but when I look back at all those pictures 22 years ago each picture brings a good memory to mind so I would say go for it. Congratulations!

Why don't you explain how you feel to your boyfriend. Make a deal .....let him take the pictures. Maybe when the pictures are done, you can put them in a seperate box. Then later on if you feel like you really dont want them you can throw them. You never know........you have many different feelings going on when you are pregnant. So don't say no just because of what you feel at the moment.....you could regret not doing it. So take the pictures and stick them in a box till after you have the baby and you decide if your really don't want them.

I felt the same way with my first daughter. But after I had her i looked back trying to remember how big I got at what point and I had no pictures. The second baby I took lots of pictures. Also If you have friends that don't have kids they can't believe that your belly actually gets that big and believe me they want to see. So try to set aside your insecurity and take some pics. You can hide them until a later date if ya want but at least you will have them!

Pregnancy is a wonderful thing. It's an experience that many people would love to have and can't. You are blessed to be carrying a child and even more blessed to have the father of your child by your side with excitement. Take the pictures. It's something that can be shared just between you and the father. I took pictures every month and I'm so glad I did. I don't have them in a photo album on my coffee table for everyone to view, but I'm definitely not ashamed of them. Pregnancy is a beautiful experience..........embrace it.

you shouldn't be ashamed of your body's natural changes during pregnancy but I do have that same feeling about people's feet, but i think that you are lucky to have a boyfriend that stuck with you, and is excited about having a baby! instead of not talking to you or leaving you because of something that (both) of you did! it's nice to finally hear that there is a success story out there! I guess I wouldn't complain! any who! if you don't want your monthly pic's taken do something like a monthly pic of yourself and then see how you've changed in them months but it doesn't necessarily have to be just a pic of your belly you can be wearing a tight shirt or something for the pic and then go change right away lol! that's what I would do! dress up then go change lol! have fun whiole you can before you cant have fun!

I felt the exact same way, but I now regret not doing it! I wish I would have been able to see the changes in my belly and really watch it grow. You shouldn't think about how insecure you are but rather how beautiful a pregnant belly is! It's a good keepsake and memory for the 3 (you, baby and dad) to share! You should think it over and reconsider! Good Luck!!!

Youtube.com has a whole section to women taken pics every week of pregnancy and its the coolest thing. I felt the same way but now I really wish I had pics of my pregnant belly, just because you have them doesn't' mean you have to show them to people. If your self-conscious now just wait till you have 9 months and spread eagle in a room full of strangers, then it won't seem so bad to have pics of your belly. :) Wouldn't you like to have pics of your mom pregnant with you? I know I would.

If you are too insecure try cropping your face out. I take mine laying on my back and only get the belly, butt and breasts in the shot. You don't have to look at them later if you don't want to, but I have a feeling that once the baby is out and body is back, you will want to.
Good Luck.

I felt the same way at first..i was so scared of getting bigger but now im pretty excited to get the bump. I figure do it! then after you have all the pix and you really hate them then just throw them away or something I know that if you don't do it your probably going to regret not doing it.

i know how you feel you can feel very insercure, but it is a nice idea, maybe you could take the pics and look at them and if you feel comfortable enough then put them in a book, if not hide them somewhere, or throw them. but after you have the baby you might want those memories. personally i cant remember what i looked like and i wish i would have take pics!
