My Pregnancy Journal (Interactive Journals)

The pregnancy journal is a really lovely book and is divided into various sections like preparing for pregnancy a week by week diary and choosing your babies name. It also has three great sections divided into trimesters.

The quality of the book is excellent and the pictures inside are all really lovely. There is enough space to write in all the things you need to as well as a section to record how both you and your partner felt when you found out you were pregnant.

Some parts of the book might not be revelant to everyone and I found them to be slightly over the top. For example there was a section to attach materials for the nursery and to record your design plan. This is purely down to personal taste though and some people might find this a really nice addition to the journal.

You can also record your pregnancy from week one; although most people wont find out they are pregnant until two weeks after this it could be very useful for couples going through IVF for example.

There are a few pages to attach your scan photos which I think is an excellent idea but the book could have done with more spaces to stick general photos (of your growing bump etc!), however there is adequate room on the pages to put pictures in.

All in all I think the book is really beautiful, well laid out and excellent quality for money. It gives dads/partners the opportunity to record their thoughts and feelings too which is great as they usually get forgotten about.

I requested review copies of most pregnancy journals available in the UK, and this was the only one provided. Not only do I think, therefore, that these publishers are nice people, their book is thoroughly professional, attractive, and wholly practical.

It is perhaps a tad on the over-long side (over 150 pages), but that makes it all the more comprehensive. There are eight different sections separated by labeled dividers, ranging from "preparing for pregnancy" to "the new arrival", with "care and classes", "preparing for baby", and the three trimesters in between.

The commentary is helpful and encouraging. The photos are heartwarming. There is lots of space for writing your own thoughts as well as pages for putting your own pictures, and uniquely, the dividers contain pockets for sliding in mementos and cards.

I don't see how you can go wrong with this as a record of your pregnancy. At the very least, you'll get your money's worth!

Absolutely stunning and heartwarming book!
This is a really lovely way to remember those special nine months. This diary style book has spaces for pictures, week by week feelings and all those little things which you don't want to forget happening. Also provides snippets of good advice and thought provoking quotes! I couldn't wait to start writing in mine!!
