I like the idea of having one thread to post all the belly photos. With my last pregnancy I took a picture almost every week (CLICK HERE TO SEE MY LAST PICS). While I'm not sure that I will take a picture every week this time, I'm going to try to keep up with it as much as possible.
Feel free to post your belly pics and we can all share our growing bellies!
6w4d - My stomach started out flat, so I'm feeling HUGE already!
Here's my 27w picture. I've been totally slacking off with the belly photos this time around. I'm up 25+lbs and right on track otherwise. I'm always amazed at how differently each woman carries a similarly sized baby.
Me too! My friends keep telling me that their bellies looked like mine at 15 weeks. But I think it's because I am much taller than most of them. Their babies had nowhere to go but out, but with my height there's lots of room to hide.
Im tall! No fair! Haha. I ran into a lady a few days ago who was technically due before me (Im measuring big, she is measuring small) and I felt like a whale sitting next to her.

They're right, that's about what I looked like at 15w!

Thanks, but it's true! I did start off very thin, so I'm just an average weight of 152lbs now. My good friend told me the other day that I am huge and this is what she looks like at full term. Peoples perceptions on pregnancy are all so different, it's almost amusing. In one day, while pregnant with #2 I had one person tell me that I, "looked like I was going to pop" and another say, "you're so tiny for 7mo". Ha ha.. Who knows?

You do NOT look like you're full-term (your friend must have been itty-bitty!) I think we all look "just right". Everyone's different! My neighbors sometimes tell me I look huge, and I just say "nah, I have a LONG way to go!"

I've had a few people ask me in the last day or two if I was due soon. I really think that people have no idea what a full term pregnant person actually looks like.

OMG! Sarah! I LOVE your picture! HAHAHA Not only do you have a cute bump, but your daughter holding an unwilling cat under the armpits is just SOOO hysterical!
That picture is so adorable! lol I was like "oh look at her beautiful belly!" and almost closed the thread and then I thought waaaaaait a minute....haha too cute!
Here's a belly shot take at 29/30 weeks, last week. I henna'ed it for an art event I was going to be at.
Sure is a large pic, lol. You can see my poor stretch marks under the henna! I am bad about taking belly shots. This was only the second one for the whole pregnancy. I will have DH or someone take some cool artsy pics outside once I'm closer to November. Maybe twilight-on-halloween!
This is today at the beginning of week 31. I thought it might be fun to compare my expanding bump with my 7lb dog. He does not like posing next to the potential usurper...
I agree, I couldn't imagine jogging at 30w! I had to stop walking long distances by 15w because of psd. Now I'm lucky if I can walk a mile before I'm really sore. Ah well, I'll get back in shape as soon as the baby come.

I don't go very far - maybe a mile with TONS of walk breaks. I was an avid runner pre-pregnancy and I miss going those long distances SO much. But the anxiety of leaving the house for my walks/jogs is too great, cause there's not a bathroom every hundred feet or so!
Not being able to run took a little toll on my mood, because I had nothing for that endorphin booster except for crying. lol So, needless to say, I can't wait until I can run a routine 4 miles 5 days a week.
