Keeping a pregnancy journal....

[Shanti]

What did you use? That is, if you kept a journal of your pregnancy?

Since finding out we're expecting, I've been writing down a few things about dates etc and thought it would be nice to be able to record important milestones, symptoms etc and how i'm feeling in general over the next 8mths.....

After a book like an Anne Geddes book or something..... can anyone recommend one? I'm not interested in keeping a blog on the net but instead a written journal.

TIA

I just had a document I saved on the computer. Just added the date as I thought of something to write. Then when I finished my pregnany scrapbook I printed it our and added it to the various trimester or weeks it applied to.

They sell pregnancy calendars at the chemist. It is like a normal calendar except has the pregnancy months and is the size of a normal calendar. Each month tells you about where your baby is at, it comes with little stickers for you to mark special events (first time you feel baby kick, first blood test...) It also has room for you to write special notes... go to the chemist and have a look. They are cute and the you can keep it as a nice keep sake!

Hey renstar!
Congrads on the very exciting news. I have also seen pregnancy calanders in spotlight stores. I know you can get an anne geddes on but they are hard to find. Maybe online?

Thanks girls! I'll check out the chemists near me and i've been looking in the newsagencies but no luck so far... well, i haven't really looked in many places yet anyway

I've seen an Anne Geddes 'pregnancy journal' on ebay that a lady was selling she never used it so was selling it. Looks nice but it's hard over the net, it's good to be able to see it IRL before buying it iykwim?

I'm going to look in a few bookstores tomorrow night and on the weekend see if i have any luck

In the meantime, i've just been typing out things each day on the computer and saving to a word doc (like Kym).

Cherene - wow you are 14wks!!! Love the pic! beautiful!
