Will I regret not having maternity photos?
I'm on the fence about having a few maternity photos done. We may be "one and done" (we'll see!) and I'm just not sure if I want to document my largesse or not 
Am I going to regret it if I don't?
Also, I haven't gotten Christmas cards out. Sheer unmotivation. I was thinking maybe if I get a few shots done with DH and our dog, we could send out cards saying "hope you had a happy holiday season, and have a great new year!" or something like that.
Thoughts? Thanks for any input!
Re: Will I regret not having maternity photos?
Take this advice from someone who has never been pg with a grain of salt. I would say that if you think that there is any chance you might regret not getting them then you should. It is less likely that you will regret doing them.
Laziness and not wanting to spend money on overly frivolous items. :-) DH probably thinks they are silly, but I'm not sure.
(Coming from another non-mother) I agree with this. I still have never seen a photo of my sister when she was pregnant, and to be honest, it's like it never happened (other than the fact that she now has a son, of course).
Do you have any friends who own a nice camera and take decent photos? Maybe just schedule a day where you can do a mini "photo session" to capture some images of you.
I never had photos taken, pro ones, but I did make a point to take a picture of my growing belly throughout the pregnancy. I have other pics too, of me out and about and at the shower and stuff. I'm glad I have pics but I don't regret not having pro ones.
IMO it's not necessary.
Same here. I took pictures throughout with both pregnancies, and I'm glad I did. I wouldn't say I have any that are too "glamorous" or anything, but I'm alright with that. I like looking at other people's maternity pictures and think they usually turn out really cute, but it wasn't something we wanted to spend the money on.
