Keeping a pregnancy diary

Hi ladies, I'm just curious. Who keeps a pregnancy journal? This is my third one, and I find it really nice to read through it again sometimes.

Do you also keep a journal?

    Hi Evelien,

    Not really, I actually picked up a 40-week pregnancy journal but have only written in it twice so far. It really is a moment-by-moment record... I think this is really nice...

    Where do you keep such a journal? Online? That’s really impressive, you definitely need discipline for that...

    Kind regards, Ju

    Yes, me too! I had one for my oldest daughter and still keep it nice and tidy. Now I’ve made a second one for our second little one...

    I got the pregnancy planner at Jumbo and I’ll keep it up (for now, anyway).
    I saw some really nice ones at Prenatal but I didn’t dare to buy them, they’re 3 months overdue but....

    @ju... I got it myself online. Gotta say, I really like it... Otherwise I wouldn't remember certain things so clearly... I put all the milestones in there, like when to go to the doctor, when to do the CB, when to turn the baby for the first time... You name it...
    And now with our second kid too... I've kept it nice and tidy up to now

    I kept Pauline Oud's pregnancy journal. Really nice book because it has different questions each time, so it doesn't get boring.

    I was already 2 months into it in a notebook, until I got the 9-month diary by Marianne Amelink from my sister-in-law, I love it!!!

    Write in it every day and weigh yourself every week, also take monthly belly photos which go in, ultrasound pictures and monthly measurements of your circumference..
    And weekly information and good tips!
    Nice that your husband also gets tips and can read how you feel..
    It's a daily ritual!!

    Yes, I just bought one and I'm keeping it. Had to put some effort into it too But I really like it. It's my first baby, so I just found it so fun to do something like that!

    Do it too, it's really important for a second or third pregnancy because it goes by so fast! It's also really nice to read back later And it's nice to keep in the box with all the important stuff from the kids, like their first outfit, birth announcement, etc.
