You’re pregnant! Now what? Photos of course!<\/p>\n

Sure, we realise there are a lot of super important things to think about when you’re pregnant, but\u00a0arranging maternity photos is not only a lot of fun – it can also give you a moment to pause and reflect.<\/p>\n

So be sure to add it to your list of things to do!<\/p>\n

Whether you’ve just found out or you’re in your third\u00a0trimester, these pregnancy photo ideas will be a delight\u00a0to look back on in years to come and a joy, straight away, to share with your friends and family.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0Take a photo of your feet<\/h2>\n

Take a picture of your belly that shows how little of your legs and feet you can see. This idea is super fun in the third\u00a0trimester, but if you take a photo like this each month from the day you find out you’re pregnant, you can build an awesome collage once the full picture is complete.\u00a0If you’re keen for some creative ways to print collages, check out these\u00a0baby shower gift ideas<\/a>.<\/p>\n
