[quote=Anonymous]I’m sure you have good reasons for your preferences, and I support you in having them.

A couple thoughts:  rethink having any pictures taken if you while pregnant. Not a vanity photo shoot, but just a couple simple selfies taken in front of a mirror or by your partner when you feel particularly happy about the baby. Maybe when you feel them move or have the hiccups. Something that is a nice memory you can share later with your child. It won’t be about you but about the bond with and love for your child. But I’m with you about hospital pictures. I’m so glad there’s no record of how I looked. I was in heaven with the new baby but I looked like hell. No thank you.

Also, if you feel like you are getting pressure for a baby shower or other baby celebrations, think about hosting a fundraiser for a local women’s shelter or gather supplies for refugees or low-income mothers. Culturally, we love to celebrate and support mothers-to-be and having an outlet away from you, might help relieve the pressure others are putting on you.

Congrats on the baby, OP and all the best. [/quote]
