A little help with a pregnancy diary….?
At 12 weeks and 6 days, I’ve decided to start writing a pregnancy diary for my baby but i would love some ideas of what to write down!
I’m sure once i get into it i will be fine but right now i have no idea =S
Thank you =)
I started a Pregnancy Journal the day I found out (I was 4 Weeks and 1 Day)
I am now 5 Weeks and 5 Days
I usually write how I feel, what I ate (or for that matter, couldn’t eat without puking) LOL
What I did for the day or upcoming plans
Things Me and DP talk about concerning our little one on the way
(Like Planning a Nursery, Our Annual Holiday Trip)
And
Sometimes I talk about people
Like last weekend we visited both of his or her Future Grandma’s
So I wrote down , how surprised they will be when they find out about you.
(since we decided to wait until my 2nd Trimester before telling anyone)
My biggest suggestion would be write whatever you feel.
It will be great to reflect back on!
Congrats New Mommy To Be!
write down how you are feeling right now, your hopes for the baby and pregnancy and how much you want the baby and are excited. u will be glad you did later.
i wrote down, how I was feeling, how much I loved my little one and so on.
It was few and far between writings as It was always the same way. The milestones would be the Doctors appointments and such.
First time you feel her/him. So on…
It was way too hard for me but I hope it is easier writing for you congrats on your lil one!!
I just bought a ‘lifetime’ diary for my little bump as its a bit late to start a pregnancy diary! Should have thought of it before 38 weeks lol
Add things like how you feel, how you feel when you see other mums to be with bigger bumps. Add any pics from magazines you see of things you may want to get baby. Put things in that make you smile, even small things like a lovely sunset. Anything that family or friends say.
Im sure you will have more than enough to write once you get going
good luck
I wrote a pregnancy diary but did it online. I went to http://www.babycrowd.com and started up the online journal on there. I found you could easily add pictures and there were questions to answers at the end of every month that detailed your feelings at that time.
At the end of the pregnancy I printed it out and keep it in my memory box.
I used to write about the appointments i was attending, how i was feeling, if i had bought anything etc.
It will come to you!
I have a pregnancy journal, well more like a scrap book,lol. This is my third pregnancy and I have two little girls and i still write in there baby book and they are 10-6,lol.
But any way….. i write each appointment i go to…any Milestone, such as if i had heartburn things i crave, if i am moody or emotional or just plain happy, what the babys heart rate was when i went for instance like 143 BPM….. I AM FURTHER ALONG THEN YOU SO WRITE DOWN THE DAYS HE HIS ACTIVE OR WHEN I PLAY CERTAIN KINDS OF MUSIC HOW HE RESPONDS…I also write my feelings and my hubby;s feelings of having our first son….. I write down everything that is important to me.I also write down world news,lol. Not alot just major things that took place…. I also add ultrasound picture and each week take pictures of my growing belly to see how much i have grown…. My last page is going to be pics of him at the hospital when he is born with his new family! I hope that helps….Have fun and good luck . Just have fun with it and be creative… It is your baby and your book
I wrote one for my little girl I wrote about weird dreams I had how active the baby was and at the end of every entry wrote a 1/10 for tiredness. Write about fears etc you’ll laugh about them together one day its a lovely gift good for you!!
i starred writing to my baby since six weeks pregnant, i wrote my feelings about how special he is and about his dad and how the pregnancy is going.
