Fotos of Alexandra's pregnancies?

I have not yet seen any pictures where Alexandra is pregnant with one of her children. I know that the fashion in this time were enshrouding the body, but aren't there any fotos of her like of Natalia Brassova (wife of Grand Duke Mikhail)? Would be nice, if you could help me... :-)

In this one she was pregnant with Grand Duchess Maria.

Wow!!! New for me. I never thought that there were photos of Alexandra pregnant
Are there more??

There is one of her too, pregnant with GD Maria, from Sokolov's book investigation.



They were in mourning dress in 1899, due to sudden death of GD Gregory Alexandrovich  at Abass - Tuman, Alix is wearing black. 

Georgiy died after Maria was born, didn´t he?

As far as I know - Marie was born in June, and he died in August...

Edit: I think someone (can't remember who it was right now) once said that the pic posted in reply #1 was taken on May 5th, 1899. *undecided*

Second edit: I'm not sure about the year of this one, but still:

This photo about pregnant Alexandra is very interesting, well because there aren’t too much photos of her in that condition, how many months of pregnancy had she in that photo? Are there more about her other pregnancies of Olga, Tatiana, Anastasia and Alexei? Thank you for start that topic is very interesting.

Indeed. Anyway, she did wear black in 1899. My mistake, sorry to everybody. I have never seen any photo of her pregnancies with OTAA. Or at least, I can't recognize well.

There was a thread about this some time ago - maybe one of the Moderators can link this one to the original pregnancy photo thread.

Yeah.I thought that too, but yerterday i looked for it using the search engine and i couldnt find it. Maybe it was merged with another one?

Thank you very much for the information :-) Is new for me, again, interesting topic

You are welcome, Your Imperial Highness Alzbeta 

During "spring cleaning"  a lot of photos were merged into other threads.

At the time it seemed a wise thing to do.

The problem was that so many pictures were being duplicated in thread after thread but being called by another title.  Alix - pregnant or Alix smiling or Alix with Rasputin or Alix with

But the photos were all the same and took up too much space.

Take some time and look through the threads of photos and if you find any that can be identified, let me know and I will title them were they are.

Thanks,Alixz

Just very generally, in those days pregnancy was something to be hidden, not shown - it is surprising that there still exist any photos of Alexandra visibly pregnant.  Queen Victoria wouldn't have dreamt of going out in public at such a time - it is one of the major reasons why she became so dependent on Prince Albert who effectively took over the functions of sovereign due to her frequent pregnancies.  And the fashions of 1890-1904 were in fact not very condusive to hiding pregnancy, with their emphasis on tight waists - even tea gowns were gathered in the middle, and anyway you couldn't wear them except in the late afternoon.

As soon as pregnancy began to "show" the woman "stopped going out" and if she did receive any visitors, she would cover her stomach with a blanket or afghan.

While I am not saying that I would go back to this type of behavior, I would like to see a little less stomach on the women in the mall.  It is almost a badge of honor to show your stomach these days and many women don't even buy maternity clothing.  They simply wear bigger shirts or the same size and let it all "hang out".

I am sorry but I think that is disgusting.  A little common sense and decency would go a long way.
