If you are pregnant you'll want to take these gorgeous pictures

Sure, we love the typical stand-sideways and flash the belly pic -- but there are so many other creative ways to chronicle the next nine months. Take a peek at these amazing ways mums have posed and steal their ideas!

Fun For the Whole Family

It's like baby's getting in on the fun before she's even born. Just be sure to use washable markers!
All Hands on Deck

We love the message with this one -- all these hands show baby just how many people loved him even before he was born.
Sand Art

Turn a day at the beach into an easy-breezy photo opp. Sketch baby's due date into the sand with a stick and snap away!
Bikini Bump

No beach? No worries. Put your beautiful curves on full display in a teeny bikini in your very own backyard. We love how the kiddy pool and the big floopy hat completes the pose!
Siblings-To-Be

A black and white snap of your first kid's genuine I'm-gonna-be-a-big-sister excitement makes this photo absolutely golden.
Go Goddess

A simple robe or sheet draped over this mum's lower half changes this shot from every day to other-worldly. A carefully placed arm keeps it G-rated.
Natural Woman

Green grass makes a strikingly beautiful backdrop. Take advantage and lay down on a lush lawn
I Hear a Heartbeat!

Take a sweet photo of big brother giving baby her first hug.
Sleepy Solace

Setting up in front of a light-flooded window, puts the focus on your gorgeous silhouette.
Look, Mummy!
So much of the excitment of a new baby is documenting the emotions of your first child.
Little Miss Doctor

Capture an intimate and candid moment between big sis and the new baby. Black and white helps focus on the emotion of the moment.
