Pictures while pregnant

[bowies]

Oh man.  I'm definitely showing...in my face.  And my midsection - though not in the cute belly way.  Can I just avoid cameras for the next few months?   Please tell me I'm not alone in this.

I am right there with you. I'm hoping I will round out a little more soon. Although usually when people complain about how puffy their face is I wouldn't have even noticed. You are your own worst critic and all of that.

I've got pregnant face

A couple of nights ago my H snapped a pic of me (unbeknownst to me) eating a bowl of ice cream - he thought it was funny that I was resting it on my belly. OMG, I could have killed him. Apparently I have several chins right now. :/

[bowies]

Yeah, my chins are already out in force. I was hoping that part would hold off for a little while. Now I just look like I need to step it up at the gym.

You'll avoid cameras like the plague and then someone will take a picture and you'll see it and go OH! look! I'm pregnant! and it'll be cute. It kind of happens all of a sudden.

This is exactly what happened with me! I felt like I was totally in that awkward "fat or pregnant?" phase, until I saw an actually cute picture of myself. 

Also, practice your Princess Kate pose! That goes a long way to making your midsection area look intentional rather than accidental.

Oh, and bowies, I totally don't believe you. I'm sure you look great!

Yeah, but for taking weekly pics of my bump for preservation, I pretty much avoid cameras when I'm pregnant (and for a while after). My first pregnancy, I thought I was super cute -- until I looked back on the pics and realized otherwise. The second pregnancy, I knew better and just avoided the camera. I told my H we can do a family picture this summer when I've hopefully lost this baby weight, but until then, I'm in hiding.

A friend of mine (with 4 kids) said to be sure to take a couple of pics because your kids will be so excited to see you when they were still inside. I never thought about it like that. These pictures, however, do not need to go on Facebook!

I know there are a bunch of pics of my mom pregnant with my little sister, but I don't know if I've ever seen a pic of her pregnant with me.

I need Kate's hair to hide my chins too! Cutting bangs was not a wise decision.

I've watched a ton of YouTube videos on face contouring..lol. It helps some, at least that's what I tell myself.

I have my shower this weekend and I have been swelling like crazy. I know my face is huge. I had a cute dress that was going to cover a lot of me and was dark, but now it's going to be like 80 degrees so that will be too hot. I know I'm going to look awful. I'm praying no one takes pictures.

A CWer told me my face got fat in the 3rd tri. I gained a lot of water weight. 2 weeks PP and I am 6ibs away from my pre-pg weight so yeah def wasn't "fat"

I feel you. I had to retake my drivers license picture when I changed my name on my license. I liked my old picture and asked if I could keep it since I have fat pregnant lady face. They said no
