Pregnancy journals

Dishylo · May 2013

Has anybody got one or thinking of starting a pregnancy journal? I can't seem to find any anywhere but I'm keen to start one so LO can read it and see what I went through if he/she ever has kids etc. Also, I loved hearing my Moms stories from when she was pg with me (the rare ones where she wasn't throwing up!) and would like to record my 9 months too.

I'm hesitant to get one until I know this one is successful. PgAL screws with you!!

I keep one. You don't need a special pregnancy journal - I'm just using a new (well, not new, but I've had it for a while and never used it) lined journal with a silver cover. I sometimes I write right to the baby, like a letter, and sometimes I just journal how I'm feeling and what's coming up appointment-wise. I've also copied and pasted (literally, not like you do on the computer!) both of our ultrasound pictures in it.

ditto. Any journal will do to just write in or tape pictures in. If your looking for a specific baby journal, I got a Carter's one at my shower. It was bigger like a photo album would be. I preferred my regular journal I had been using.

I started to blog about my progress here on The bump with the blogging feature.

I started a journal right away. I didn't want to go as public as a blog, but I wanted to share with certain people (our moms, close friends, etc.), so I'm writing it in Google docs. I have a rough template I'm using as a guide to write an update each week:

Date: Weight: Baby food size: In General: Midwives appointments: Cravings: How I feel: Running: Other Exercises:Dreams: Childbirth classes:

I figure even if the pregnancy doesn't work out, it'd be good to record the information for next time.

I just am very early along about 5 and a half weeks and I just started one last night. It's not anything special just a notebook. I was going to wait till I was out of my first trimester but then I thought I would miss out on writing about the early stuff.

I kept one in just a word doc during my first pregnancy. I just put in bump pics, symptoms, stuff we'd prepared like nursery photos. I'm glad I did it.

I like this. Thanks for all the comments ladies. I might just try and find a cute regular journal, hopefully one that doesn't look too much like the ones I have at the office!!
