Why I Did

My experience has been great. The prize at the end is even better.

How I Commemorated My Pregnant Belly

This is my first time posting a picture, this pregnancy has really been different from my first two. I definitely haven't gained the weight like I did with my first two pregnancies. A lot of people think that this is my first child. I just look and laugh and tell them no. I like to take pictures as I gradually get farther along so I can add them to my baby book that I am making for my daughter that I so much can't wait to meet.

Tips and Tricks

  • I use cocoa butter for my belly this time around.

Robin Elise Weiss, LCCE, Pregnancy & Childbirth Guide, says:

It's funny to look back over the course of other pregnancies to see the differences in your pregnant belly. I think pregnancy pictures that span a pregnancy is a great way to commemorate your pregnant belly for your baby. You'll both be glad you did it!
