We are all unique and that goes for our pregnancy experience too. For inspiration, I reached out to 30 women from around the world for a picture of them at 30 weeks pregnant. I wanted to show how different we can all look (and feel) at the exact same time in pregnancy. I rounded up 30 baby bumps at 30 weeks and the comparisons are wonderful and unique!
Every bump and every body is different. There is no right or wrong way to look during these important 9 months of your life and these photos are here to serve as inspiration. We are all beautiful!
Big thanks to all these gorgeous moms for helping with this post (make sure to read the captions on what they said about their bumps). We rock…and so do our baby bumps!
