4.5 week belly shot

Anyone else feeling slightly awkward? I don't know what to do with my hands....this experience is so new for me, taking it one step at a time. 

 

I just gotta rock the hands on the belly pose, Right? Too cliche?

I did the same thing, I wanted to show how my body started out before my bump arrives :-) and yea it was totally awkward. Most of them were embarrassing but my winner was one hand on hip and the other at my side just standing like a semi-normal person.

Yeah, why do you need a 4.5 week shot? You can start at 8 weeks and still look the same. I did my first one at 13 weeks and my stomach still looked completely flat. All you'd be holding in a 4 week picture is last nights dinner.

I understand! I know a girl that took pics like every 4-8 wks from 4 weeks on...it's neat to see the progression, no matter how small it may be.

Bah, I've been taking them every week too.  I just stand straight with my hands to my side.

omg, relax.

With DD I started early (7 weeks). Of course it's bloat. But it is cool to see where you started and how the pregnancy progresses. The change is so gradual at first.

4.5 weeks to way to early, 7 plus weeks is good.

I did one at 4 week just to have a good "before" picture.  I've been too lazy to do one since, and as far as I can tell, my body hasn't really changed yet, so I don't feel too bad about it.  I figure I'll start weekly pictures for real around 12 weeks.

I took one at 9 weeks with my first, then waited until 17 weeks to do them weekly. You could see no bump until 20 weeks for me with my first. I might start a little earlier this time if I notice anything.

I say do what you want, I have a friend who took a photo every day of her pregnancy, stood in the same place in the same pose with generally the same outfit (balck yoga pants, white tank top) and then at the end they did a video of them rapidly changing.....it was really awesome.

Well okay, since you say so.  Confused

I took a 4week picture too and also didn't know what to do with my hands/arms. Ha! yeah, it's early, but I want to have a good before picture to compare to. Plus I've been waiting years for this, so I just couldn't resist. I don't see the big deal with taking pictures early. We know there's nothing there yet, but it's just fun to anticipate the difference we're going to see in a few months! That's how I see it anyway :
