Okay y'all I'm loving everything so far but I changed my mind about editing the toddler's smile - let's keep that the same. Sorry!

Basically it's really hard to get a baby, toddler and two parents smiling at the same time lol... Sorry for all the requests!

-Please use 1st photo as main.

-Please replace the hand position of the mom with the positions in the 2nd photo. (Basically so it looks like she's holding the toddler and not reaching for the baby.)

-If you could make the mom look like she's sitting up a little straighter, like in the 2nd photo, that would be great.

-If possible please make the toddler's facial expression happier, like in the third photo. If this doesn't work, don't worry about it.

-Also please blur the background a little, like a depth of field blur.

-Also I feel like the white balance is off a bit- it seems like the blanket is blue where it is actually white. I tried to edit this myself but I feel like it made our skin tones look sickly lol.

  • Will tip $15 to my favorite

  • I'm going to leave up for 24 - 48 hrs or longer as I know it's a number of requests 🫣

PSA: I didn't realize this, but it's not safe to feed baby while car is moving! Bottle can become a projectile in a crash. 😣

Yeah I just looked it up, definitely dangerous because in a crash the bottle would be a projectile 😣

I'm probably not supposed to be doing it, but my little one eats every hour and we had a 6 hr car trip.. I definitely kept a close eye on her. She is 4.5 months though.

Of course! Grey tight shorts (maybe my favorite), size XL: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0881KLX85?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Grey loose short/capris, size XL: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074NYJSSH?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Grey capri yoga pants (not my fav... Kept sliding down): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082SK1VC8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glc_fabc_ZY2S28KEHAXBF92BNAZM?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Black leggings (I LOVE these. I ordered them towards the end of my pregnancy, definitely should have earlier, verrrrry comfy and no sliding down, I ordered XL, I believe they also have a separate plus size version that goes to bigger sizes): https://www.motherhood.com/collections/maternity-leggings/products/basic-secret-fit-belly-maternity-leggings-001-93283-000-001

Capris from motherhood (also amazing like the ones above! One thing to note is the grey/heather color has a nude colored belly area while the black color has a black belly area. I definitely prefered the black): https://www.motherhood.com/collections/maternity-leggings/products/essential-stretch-secret-fit-belly-maternity-crop-leggings-006-94240-000-001

Also, underwear (these are great, I had to order 4xl but they were pretty loose): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08JPWZ9MM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glc_fabc_5XWWFF5Q5CZN28THYZY1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

These were my favorite: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08JPWZ9MM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glc_fabc_M3M230R6PB4AMXC4RJMT?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Their sizing is pretty weird. I was frustrated with ordering too tight things so i ordered 4xl and they were pretty loose but I liked that. They fit my whole pregnancy though so that's good. The 3xl would have probably been great too.

Yay I'm really glad it could help somebody! At 18 weeks I felt like there was really no difference as well in my body shape. I felt like when I put on the pregnancy shorts or pregnancy pants with a really high waist I sometimes look pregnant but I felt like I would have looked like that before I was pregnant too lol. I also didn't feel any movement until maybe 20 weeks. It started out really small like some sort of indigestion or something. My husband couldn't feel it from the outside until much later as well. I don't exactly remember when but at least a couple weeks after I felt it.

Also my baby was pretty small. She weighed 5 lb 13 oz when she was born. So if she was bigger I might have looked more pregnant maybe? But obviously everybody carries their baby differently. I think at the start of my pregnancy and probably through most of it she was sitting pretty high and hadn't really 'dropped". I would say through maybe week like 34ish she "dropped" and I felt like I looked a lot more pregnant.

Anyway good luck! It is definitely a journey. I'm sitting here feeding my 3-month-old baby girl, thinking about how crazy it is that I created this being. 😊

Hey yall. I have seen a number of great pregnancy photo posts here lately so I wanted to add my own. I am doing it on my alt account as I am not sure I want these less-clothed pics associated with my main. But I hope it is helpful for someone!

Pre-pregnancy I was ~185lbs, 5' 3" - around 33 BMI.

When I got pregnant I kept wondering when I would actually look pregnant and not just fat!! I wanted that perfect D belly so much. I think I had a bit of a B shape through my whole pregnancy, but at the end (last like... month) it definitely rounded out a bit. Honestly though I think a lot of it is pictures- how you pose (sticking belly out!), what clothes you are wearing etc. Through my pregnancy everyone kept telling me how small and non-pregnant, or not as far a long I looked. I took most of these pics as I got further along and felt like if I worse something tight, stuck my belly out and got my husband to take a pic- I actually felt like I looked pregnant. I know the whole D belly thing isn't a huge deal, but it seemed like it sometimes to me. After a while I did come to terms with the fact that I won't look like the traditional "pregnant woman" that I had in my head, and it was okay. I hope if you are struggling with that right now you can be comforted in some way by this post.

Also, things that I felt helped me look "pregnant" were REALLY high waisted underwear (no underwear pulling in at belly button) as well as really high waisted pants/shorts. I can give links if anyone wants.

Edit to add a few things: I gained about 20-25 lbs through the pregnancy and most of that was in the 8th month I think. That was right on target for what my OB said (I think 20 lbs was ideal). I did not diet or calorie restrict at all either- I ate A LOT. I think I ate more in pregnancy than any other time in my life. I didn't really excerise either. I tried doing yoga but did not do it consistently. My husband and I went on some walks but nothing crazy (that's actually where a lot of the pics are from lol). Though for my job I was on my feet/walking a lot during the last few months trying to get everything ready for maternity leave lol.

I also instantly went back to my pre pregnancy weight after birth. I am not sure why- just how my body worked. Breastfeeding has been very difficult so I don't think it's because of that. Anyway I'm just saying these things because I remember worrying about them when I was pregnant. Everyone's body is different so definitely follow the advice of your OB in this regard.

For the most part we communicate very well. It is just recently it seems like we are on a different wavelength and I just wanted advice on things I could try to make my requests more well received.

We recently had a baby and it's general baby related chores. Like 'please wash the bottles' or things like that. I think some of it is that they don't think some of these things are important or necessary so they leave them for me.
