Pregnancy Photos

So a mother of four, who I get the impression does not enjoy being pregnant asked this particular question, maybe something other women who are pregnant or have been pregnant who may or may not share her thoughts are wondering too.

Question:

Why do some women pregnant women

post selfies of how big they are getting?

So I can't speak for every pregnant woman. This is just my thoughts on taking pregnancy photos and why I do it.

Guilty! I just posted one maybe an hour ago of my 3rd pregnancy. So maybe this friend was talking about me or someone like me. I am one of those moms who takes tons of photos during pregnancy to document everything. It's amazing to go back and look at how your body has changed to create life and then bring it into the world if you document your birth. Things you don't always reflect on in the moment of discomforts, challenges, busy life...

Then when my children are born, I take tons of photos of them. All of these things happen so fast and last just a short season. I suppose it's also that I overall enjoy being pregnant. I find baby kicks, hearing the heartbeat on the doppler, seeing that the first positive pregnancy test reflects that result you've been trying for outweigh the acid reflux, sleeping with a fortress of pillows, nausea, and/or vomiting.

And it might help that trying to conceive, pregnancy, breastfeeding, motherhood are topics I love to talk (and blog) about, and hopefully, sometime soon I will be helping other women make these dreams come true when I have finished my education, so another generation of moms can do the same. 😊

Clear Blue Plus Pregnancy Test (Blue Dye)

Clear Blue Plus Pregnancy Test with Blue Dye (+ / - ) This is what a negative looks like: Side Note: Blue dyes are often said to more frequently give false positives than pink dye. Some online boards that will tweak (alter) a pregnancy test photo to help individuals identify if the test is a faint positive or indeed negative, often will not do blue dyes.

Frida Mom for Post Laparoscopy Care

My Frida Mom Basket for Post-Laparoscopy Care. Why I Love the Frida Mom Line (Even Beyond Motherhood) One of the things I’ve really come to appreciate is how versatile the Frida Mom line is—not just for new moms, but for anyone recovering from abdominal surgeries, such as laparoscopies for endometriosis. After surgery, comfort and gentle care are everything. That’s where the C-section recovery underwear comes in. Even if you haven’t had a baby, the design makes sense—when you have incisions on your abdomen, you need something soft, high-waisted, and non-restrictive. These disposable underwears are a lifesaver compared to standard disposable Depends. The big difference? You can build your own pad system . Start with the underwear. Add a menstrual pad. Layer on a witch hazel perineal liner, perineal cream, or both. Attach an optional heating pad for cramping. It’s completely customizable depending on what your body needs that day. I also want to mention the liners pack...

My Laparoscopy Recovery Essentials: What’s Actually Helping Me Heal

Skin sensitivity may impact your experiences with these products. Recovering from my laparoscopy has been a journey, and honestly, some days are more uncomfortable than others. Over the past week, I’ve found a few products that have made a huge difference in how I feel—both physically and mentally. Here’s what’s been helping me get through it: 1. Body Wash That Feels Safe Before and after surgery, I wanted something gentle that still felt clean. I’ve been using Dove Antibacterial Body Wash , and it’s been perfect. It keeps the incision area clean without stinging or irritating my skin, which is such a relief. 2. Underwear That Actually Works I never thought I’d get excited about disposable underwear, but Frida Mom Disposable C-Section Underwear has been a game-changer. They’re soft, supportive, and don’t press on my stomach—exactly what ...
