Hey there, mama-to-be. Congratulations on embarking on one of the most transformative journeys of your life. As you prepare to welcome your little bundle of joy into the world, it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement and forget some of the precious moments and emotions you experience along the way.
That’s why a pregnancy journal can be an invaluable companion for capturing every milestone, from the first fluttery kicks to the anxieties and joys of nesting.
Whether you prefer a beautifully blank notebook to fill with your own thoughts and reflections or a guided journal with prompts and checklists, the options are endless. I’m so glad I took the time to write in my journal, as now I read it with my child and we relive the journey together.
