So i was excited to get some maternity pics done but as i gain more weight Im unsure because my confidence is starting to go down. Mainly I dont care where I gain anywhere but my face. And I have a very round face that is getting rounder and Im starting to get a double chin. :( Ive only gained 16 lbs but I feel like I look like Ive gained twice that.   Im afraid ill pay to get these cute pics done and I wont like them bcof how i look. What should I do? Or what would you do? I just started my third trimester, Im about to gain more obviously. I dont know if I should just hold out for cute pics after the baby is born.

I'm A Photographer And I Typically Do Them At 32 Weeks So You're Not Too Uncomfortable. I Just Did Someones Last Minute Thursday Night Because She Felt Like You Do And She Ended Up Delivering 6 Weeks Early The Next Day And Said She Was So Thankful She Did It. I Think Itll Be Better To Hate Them Than Wish You Did And It Be Too Late. But I Think You'll Love Them If You Find The Right Photographer!! :)

I just had mine done today, ( 38w3d ),  and I've been feeling unattractive lately too, I've gained just over 50 ish pounds... but actually today was the first time in awhileI felt like I looked good, I think it was the new outfit and doing my hair and makeup nicely... so I say do them!  It was a nice confidence boost for me, and I'm sure it will be for you too!  And I think in the long run you would regret not having them done more than you would regret having them done.

My doc has those awesome baby emphasizing shots on black background everywhere and they look great and you can tell the women are real woman beautiful. But a good photog will make you look fantastic!

Mil pics NEVER count! Mother in laws have a talent for taking the most unflattering pics. And I've seen the pics of your shower! I think you look beautiful in those pics!

Thats true to. All the pics my mil took at my baby shower made me lose alot of confidence. I got a haircut which made me feel Good at least. Maybe ill do it anyways.
