Pregnancy is a journey... a very, very long journey. As exhausting as it might be, it’s also an incredibly special time in your life, and no one can blame you for wanting to capture all of the extra moments and pregnancy milestones in photos. Sharing them on your social media account with friends and family can make them feel even more exciting. There are so many photo options out there, and to make them even better, you’ll need some great pregnancy milestone Instagram captions to use. From the first time you post your bump to the day you are officially 100% over being pregnant, here are some ideas.

You might not share bump update photos every week, but you’ll probably want to share some of the bigger moments, like the first time you feel those little fluttery kicks in your stomach or the moment you realize you’ve finally endured the last of the first trimester. From there, you’ll move on to sharing sweet photos from your baby shower and maybe even some professional shots from your maternity shoot. As you progress through your third trimester and things get a little more uncomfortable, you might want to share photos from the moment you started to feel like your pregnancy has lasted years instead of months. And if you meet your due date and your little one isn’t here yet? That deserves a photo, too.

Check out the Instagram caption ideas below and get ready for the heart emoji comments to roll in.
