Sherii - I normally try to. I did with my DD religiously, but I was really unhappy with myself and the way I looked with DS that I took them, but very rarely.

I plan to take them this time too, but I usually dont start until 12w. I am 7w today though. Maybe I should start today?

I have bought some maternity clothes that were on a really good sale. Thankfully I don't need them yet, but they were too good to pass up.

My DH let me sleep in this morning. I slept til just after 8 but he took the kids to visit a family friend, so I lazed in bed til after 9. Now im headed to the gym before it gets too hot.
 
Anyone else having an uncomfortable pain on their left side? It's not sharp, just a dull kinda pain, I had it with my last two also but had to get them ruled out as ectopic around this time... I don't want to go in for a third time for the same pain haha last time they put it down to a small cyst!
 
buffy: I'm eager to start taking the pictures, but I'm kinda chunky to begin with (size 12), so I figure I'll probably just look fatter for like three months before there's a questionably lump. I'm actually unsure whether to start now, or wait a few more weeks. Are you pleased that you have the DD pics? Or is it something that you don't really think about or ever look at now that it's over?

ameeann: I'm having a lot of aching and pressure in my tummy, too. But if it's on a side, it's usually the right. It's quite mild, so I suspect it's just the normal cramping that goes along with being in the early weeks. It's possible your eggie implanted on the left, or that your body is just feeling it more on one side than another. If they've ruled out ectopic and the cramping is mild, I wouldn't worry too much unless you have bleeding. At least that's how I'm rolling with it
 
I’m totally taking bump shots starting at 5w! I have two now. It’s really just photos of my bloat at the moment lol. But I think it will be cool to look back and see small changes.

I spoke too soon earlier. I’ve felt pretty nauseous all day long! But I’ve done nothing but watch movies so I can’t complain. I should help my husband tidy and make meals but he’s being lovely and doing all that himself.

They haven't ruled it out this time as I've not been with it yet... Going to see how the next day or so plays out I think, no point in rushing in for some mild annoying pain :haha: thanks xx

I got pregnant with my DS when DD was 4 months old. Now my DS is 14m and Im pregnant again. To be honest, I havent had much time to look at the pics I took :haha:

I think when they are older it will be something Im glad I have. I have a baby box for each child with scan photos, pee sticks, photos, first little hat etc. So I will get them printed up for their baby boxes I think. It's a nice keepsake :flower:

PS size 12 is hardly chunky!!

Alli - maybe youve inspired me to start taking my pics now :haha:
 
buffy: Alongside belly pics I've been wondering how I want to document this process and the, I guess, life of the baby... (that still sounds so crazy omg). I thought about journals or baby books, but I like the idea of a box. It would take so much less time, which will be very sparse this time next year. After the pee sticks sitting on the counter in the bathroom for a week DH was kinda like "you gunna get rid of those?" and when I was hesitant he was like "..... are you going to keep them forever?" and I felt a little silly and guilty so I tossed them. But I will have pictures of them forever!! In conclusion: I will be on the prowl for a lovely memory box :D

I maybe should clarify that my chunky I just mean a little chubby. I am, I may as well admit it. I'm not really big, but big enough that I feel like I would just be taking pictures of my chubby belly for like three months :haha::happydance: but I think I want them anyway!

alli: you've convinced me! I'm totally gunna start taking them early. Twist my rubber arm, amirite
 
Haha Sherii. I dont actually have my pee stick from DD, but I have this one and the one from DS.

I think the box is awesome! This way you can keep whatever you want, and it wont just be restricted to *just* paper. I have their birth announcements, baptism outfits, hospital bracelet, first drawing etc. Actually so fun to look through every so often. It makes me very emotional.
 
yea, I suspect it would be hard to look through with dry eyes. And I like that you can keep more than paper, as you said. You can keep things, instead of pictures of things.
 
I have always thought it would be fun to do the weekly photos with the corresponding fruit for that week. I should check to see if all fruits will be available to me to purchase here before starting though..

Like today I could take a pic with a blueberry.
 
This is an example one that I found..

I took way less bump photos with my DD than with my DS. I don't really regret it, but we'll see how it goes this time around. I wonder if I could incorporate my other two into the pictures somehow to see how they grow and change while their sibling is!

Anyone listen to Taylor Swift's new album? I can't get the songs out of my head :haha: random I know.
 
I guess I shouldn't have mentioned yesterday about not feeling much by the way of physical symptoms because today all I've been doing is cramping. No blood, just lots of stretching. I personally think that stretching pains are more painful the more pregnancies you have because I've never had them like this before. It isn't the same kind of pain when I miscarried, nor is it like AF cramps... hard to explain. Feels like someone is tugging my uterus from both sides :wacko:
 
Livvy - no, I have only heard her couple of songs that are on the radio. I'm actually not that thrilled by her new stuff. I looooove her old stuff though.

Lilmiss - stretching is always good :)
 
Buffy, same! I miss the old Taylor so much. But, her new stuff is catchy too. I hated 1984 when it came out and then it grew on me... it helps if I think of it as a different person, not my high school and college role model :haha:

Lilmiss - sorry if it's painful! Signs that things are happening though :)
 
Took my first weekly "bump" shot today. Obviously that is not my face :haha:

I’ve taken two side shots so far on the baby bump app. I took them every week with both my pregnancies, with my son I had a little bump at 16 weeks and with my daughter the earliest picture I could find was 18 weeks. I can’t wait to start feeling movements, it’s the best :cloud9:

Is anyone going to be buying a doppler? I had the sonoline B and it was amazing, heard my daughters HB at 8 weeks!

No I won't use a Doppler. I never used one before. I think it would be awesome to have, but I also think I would become obsessed!
