I loved this journal during my pregnancy! I buy it for all of my friends when they get pregnant. It asks you everything you could possibly imagine during this special time. I can look back and see photos of my belly growing each month, the baby's development, and all of the special moments!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! (via pregnancygram.com)

Enjoy each and every day of your pregnancy with this pregnancy journal by your side.

Thought-provoking questions help you capture your thoughts and feelings,

while helping you to take care of yourself each and every day.

We love how organized and well-planned this 180-page journal is. It really makes you think of everything that goes along with your pregnancy. Having all your thoughts and feeling down on paper (with questions to guide you) really helps to organize your thoughts. Looking at your journal with your child years later is always a special, bonding time. And, with another pregnancy, it will be fun to compare your thoughts and see how they are different.

Here are some sample questions from Butterflies & Hiccups: A Guided Pregnancy Journal:

* Describe how you felt the moment you found out you were pregnant. Who was the first person you told that you were pregnant?
* Are you remembering to take your prenatal vitamins regularly? What is your favorite food this month?
* If you've experienced morning sickness, is it starting to subside? Who do you regularly talk to and share all your pregnancy details with?
* What are you wearing this month? (i.e. maternity clothes, oversized clothes, etc.) What specific worries or concerns do you have related to the pregnancy?
* Is your baby moving around yet? If so, what was your first reaction? Will you find out the sex of the baby? Why or why not?
* Have you felt the baby hiccup yet? Have you and your husband decided on a baby name yet?
* How often do you experience Braxton-Hicks contractions? What are your favorite pregnancy/childbirth books at the moment?
* How many times have strangers touched your belly? How are you and your husband preparing for childbirth? (i.e. exercise, perineal massage, childbirth classes, etc.)
* How is your husband feeling now that you are almost ready to deliver? Have you been "nesting"? If so, what have you done to prepare for the baby's arrival?

Other chapters in the journal include:

* Practitioner Visits
* Baby's Development
* Pregnancy Symptoms
* Birth: Welcome to Motherhood
* Bringing the Baby Home
* Bed Rest
* Hospital Bag Checklist
* Birth Plan
* Holidays
* Fun Ideas to Pamper Yourself

Illustrations are beautiful...very comprehensive and you do not have to write in it everyday. Room for ultrasounds and photos, doctor visits, holidays, baby shower, labor, bringing the baby home, etc etc etc...it covers it all! (via pregnancyjournal.com)
