Photo calendar ideas

Make a Pregnancy Photo Calendar

Nine months of waiting, one lifetime of wondering how it went so fast. Keep every stage of the bump.

Pregnancy is the strangest timeline there is: nine months that crawl and fly at the same time. A pregnancy photo calendar captures each stage — the announcement, the growing bump, the nursery coming together — so you can hold onto a journey that's over before you know it.

Yearlify makes it simple: add a photo for each month of the journey, arrange them your way, and export a high-resolution keepsake to print or share. Free, no signup, and everything stays private on your device — including the months before you've announced.

Here are twelve prompts to carry you from the positive test all the way to those first days home.

Why make one?

The bump timeline you'll treasure

Month-by-month bump photos side by side are the single best way to see the journey — and you can't recreate them later.

Private until you announce

Photos are processed entirely in your browser, so you can document the early weeks long before anyone knows.

A beautiful announcement

The finished calendar doubles as a pregnancy announcement or a nursery wall piece once baby arrives.

Pairs with the first-year calendar

Make this one for the bump, then start a baby's first year calendar the month they arrive — the full story, in two frames.

12 pregnancy photo ideas, from test to home

Start wherever your story starts. One idea for each stage of the journey:

Month 1

The positive test — the moment everything changed.

Month 2

Your secret-keeping era: a selfie only the two of you understand yet.

Month 3

The first ultrasound photo, tiny and impossible.

Month 4

The announcement — however you told the world.

Month 5

First bump photo where it's officially, undeniably a bump.

Month 6

The gender reveal, the name shortlist, or the first kick reaction.

Month 7

The nursery in progress — paint swatches and crib instructions.

Month 8

The baby shower and the mountain of impossibly small clothes.

Month 9

Full term: the final bump photo and the packed hospital bag.

Birth day

The first photo of your baby — the one you'll never stop looking at.

Coming home

The going-home outfit and the world's most careful car ride.

First weeks

Sleepy newborn days: tiny fingers, big yawns, no sleep, all love.

Tips for great photos

Take bump photos in the same spot, same outfit, same angle — the progression becomes striking.
Photograph the small stuff too: the test, the ultrasound printouts, the hospital bracelet.
Get in the photos even when you don't feel like it — you'll be so glad later.
Note the week number in a small caption on each month.

Frequently asked questions

Pregnancy is nine months — how does a 12-month calendar work?+

Use these as photo prompts rather than custom month labels. Add photos to their calendar months, combine several stages in one month, or export individual recaps. The whole-year layout stays January–December.

Can I keep it private before we announce?+

Yearlify does not upload your photos. Use a private device or browser profile, since autosaved work and downloaded files may be visible to anyone who shares it.

What about after the baby arrives?+

Save a project backup before starting a new collage for your baby's first year. Add photos to their calendar months and use captions to record ages and milestones.

Your photos stay on your device. Yearlify processes them in your browser without uploading them to a server. You choose whether to share your finished collage.
