I'll weigh in on the bare bump. I'm fine with it in bathing suit pictures but I find it tacky to pull your shirt up for one, and underwear photos are an absolute no go. As they say, opinions are like assholes, everyone's got one. But that is mine. All the same, welcome to the board @countrymama. The last time someone posted a bare bump photo here it was a prank, which may have contributed to a few of us commenting on it.

mrskblack11 - you should totally start an AW your maternity photos thread. I'd love to see more of yours, and to see everyone else's as they come out! I should have some soon, too...
@thepalindromicone - I saw another month do a before(or early) bump pic compared with a recent bump pic thread. I may start one in a couple weeks when I'm full term, since I'm at the front of the pack!
RE: Bare belly pics, I'm actually totally for them, but have conformed to the culture of the board. I like seeing everyone's cute outfits anyway
Regarding bare bump pics, I completely agree with tatersalad. I find a certain tackiness to it as well. I can barely look at my own haha. I'm also the type of person that is very careful on what I post on social media, so maybe my opinion is skewed a bit to the more conservative side.
I'm also with carolyngrace, I love seeing how everyone "wears" their baby bumps in cute clothes.
Welcome to the board countrymama05 ! Looking forward to getting to know our newest June 2015 mama .
I'm with tatersalad and txngrl31 I'm actually cool with bikini pics if you're at the pool/beach, but I just don't understand why one would lift up her shirt to show us her belly. I also think it was a little odd as someone who has only made a handful of posts on this forum to intro with that pic, especially after seeing everyone else's posts where not a single person showed a bare bump! At least it wasn't a nearly nude/only covered by a sheet blowing in the wind picture lol.
Regardless, welcome to the board countrymama05 and congrats on your pregnancy!

mcp6286 I'm really surprised they changed your due date this late in the game- even if baby is measuring bigger. Are they going off US or fundal height?

I was surprised too. She measured fundal height then did another U/S to confirm. Since I'm having a scheduled c-section, it ends up that now my c will be at 40 weeks instead of 39, so I guess it doesn't make that much difference...

Ah ok. USs can be off 2 lbs in either direction glad they aren't moving your CS date up another week just bc of US

Nope, she said I could schedule earlier if I wanted to, but it was up to me. I told her that if this baby comes on or before June 12 (my last day of school) it won't be my doing! I'm perfectly happy with the 15th...no reason not to give her a few extra days to bake if she wants 'em!
Good! (Other than not being pregnant...) I'm super excited to see all these little squishes next month. I still can't believe it's next month for you guys!

I'm on CAL and GKU... hopefully another BMB at some point! Because I was almost 16 weeks in, the recovery and waiting time to start TTC again was significant. It was necessary for emotional healing though! You guys will always be my oldest buds around these parts, though. =)

I ask because it will be nice to keep up and keep in touch! It is so necessary to take the time to heal emotionally and I hope your journey has been as kind as possible!

Missed yesterday because I always change into comfy clothes when I get home and forgot to take my pic in the ugly work bathroom, so you ladies get an ugly bedroom mirror instead lol. 36 weeks today! Only 4 weeks to go... I got a little lightheaded thinking about it earlier today. Anyone else getting nervous?
