Pregnancy diary: why keep it and which one to buy

Keeping a pregnancy diary is quite simple but also very personal. In fact, every woman experiences different things and feels different sensations that are worth capturing and remembering. In addition it can also be a very useful tool to monitor changes from week to week. How to do it?

Pregnancy is probably the period in which we experience the most changes, both physically and emotionally.

Our body changes rapidly and so does our way of thinking and seeing life. Things that didn’t matter before become relevant, and things that we thought were essential are no longer so.

However, nine months pass quickly (even if at first it may seem the opposite) and to remember and capture this magical and extraordinary period forever, keeping a pregnancy diary is certainly a good idea.

How to keep a pregnancy diary

Keeping a pregnancy diary is quite simple but also very personal. In fact, every woman experiences different things and feels different sensations that are worth capturing and remembering. In addition it can also be a very useful tool to monitor changes from week to week. But how to do it? It is possible with:

• simple diaries or notebooks, even the simple ones that are all white or just with the days of the week. The important thing is to write and tell about your adventures and misadventures during pregnancy and if you have imagination, decorate with post-it drawings and whatever else comes to mind;
• pre-printed pregnancy diaries if you want something more structured and cute (these are the ones I’ll tell you about later);
• photos and videos , in case writing is not for you or you want it to be oral.
  For further information: photograph the belly month by month with pregnancy stickers .
• a blog, if you like to write and share your experience;
• specialized sites, such as Fertile period where you can find a service such as the pregnancy diary active where, once registered you will have a sort of completely private and personal digital diary available to consult as the pregnancy progresses.

Pregnancy diary: here is our selection

If you have decided to keep a pregnancy diary and have opted to buy one online, here are the ones I have identified for you. They are all very useful and beautiful and can be purchased with a simple click.

Sweet waiting

Sweet wait is more than a pregnancy diary done very well both in terms of graphics and content. In fact, in addition to being a real diary-diary to be filled in and personalized with notes, notes, questions, memories, week after week, it is also a valuable information volume. It is divided into sections where you can read news, memos and useful advice on nutrition, health, physical activity, medical tests to be done, preparations for childbirth.

And as well as understanding what is happening to you and your baby, it will also help you choose items for the newborns and organize the baby’s arrival at home.

My pregnancy diary. With DVDs

My pregnancy diary is one of the most popular diaries. It is a colorful and cheerful personal agenda, with very captivating graphics and which will follow you throughout your pregnancy until the birth of the baby. Week after week, the diary will show you simple suggestions for your diet, easy exercises and natural remedies to keep you in good physical shape, all the checkups and medical tests to do and many other curiosities. It also contains a DVD with yoga and relaxation exercises.

But alongside the practical information, the agenda also offers many sections and tables that you can fill in as you do with an agenda/diary: things to do, appointments, thoughts, worries, dreams, photos, ultrasounds.

Emotions for 9 Months of Waiting

Emotions for 9 months of waiting   is a very nice and well done pregnancy diary. The graphics and colors are delicate and romantic and it also contains a small family tree to fill in. It is divided into weeks and is a real diary where you can write sensations, emotions, memories, events and personalize with photos and ultrasounds.

If compiled well and with care (perhaps even with the help of the father) it will be a wonderful memory to leaf through with the child when he is older. It also continues for a few weeks even after the baby is born, so that details and memories relating to the first months of life can also be noted.

The diary of my nine months

“My 9 Month Diary” is a creation by the Parisian graphic studio Mesdemoiselles (known for its collaborations with Christian Dior). This diary allows you to keep the memories and emotions of the whole pregnancy from the moment “I knew”, to the first time “I felt you move”, to the announcement to family and friends and so on.

Inside, the volume is well illustrated and full of animations, pop ups, colored sachets and useful pockets where you can keep photos, ultrasound scans and little secrets.

Baby B pregnancy diary

The Baby B pregnancy diary is very beautiful, simple and intuitive with beautiful drawings and pretty and well-finished graphics. It looks like in the photo and is perfect for recording all the annotations of an expecting mother.

It is divided week by week, small, simple to use and easy to compile and keep updated.

However, I would like to point out that the internal writings (which are not many) are only in English, therefore rather stylish and trendy especially for those who know English.

The pregnancy diary day by day

The day by day pregnancy diary is a diary to fill in and personalize and is ideal for recording the stages of pregnancy (measurements, circumference, weight, mood, sensations).
Especially useful for a first pregnancy when you have more time to devote to these moments of study and relaxation.

However, it is also a useful manual that gives indications for understanding what happens to our body, day after day, providing curiosities and information.

Pregnancy diary

Pregnancy diary is a sort of agenda/organizer perfect for those who want to start a pregnancy diary but need a guide to know what to write. In its basic form of mots, you can track your energy level, mood and appetite day by day.

It is also possible to write down appointments and you can have fun attaching photos of your baby bump , recording notes of your travels, inviting siblings, grandparents or various friends and relatives to write down their thoughts and feelings. This way the diary will become a special gift for your child years later.

Diary of a Belly

Finally, I could not conclude without talking to you and recommending a very special pregnancy diary like that of Burabacio (well-known artist and illustrator).

Her ” DIARY OF A BELLY” is an extremely original and beautiful diary , full of drawings, writings and imaginative motifs in the midst of which memories, photos and all the annotations of the most important moments of your PREGNANCY will find their place .
