Maintain a Written Journal during Your Pregnancy



There is nothing like your first moments during your pregnancy.   Feelings and thoughts that will soon be forgotten can easily be remembered once written.  Having a journal for your baby will bring a lot of new firsts into your life. Moments from the first time you found out you are pregnant, to the first time you held your baby in your arms.  Not everything can be captured on a camera so writing about what you are feelings is a great idea.

Make it a habit of writing in your journal daily to capture your feelings, emotions and thoughts. Just write what you feel and don’t worry about format or what other people is going to think because these will be your memories.  Describe in your journal the feeling you get when moments like finding out you are pregnant for the first time, wearing your maternity clothes for the first time, the moment you felt your baby kick, When you realize the baby in the hospital bassinet is going home…with you or when you discover daddy and junior napping together, in identical sleeping positions.

Memory of theses moments will fade over time but written words will hold your emotions on paper for you remember.   If in the future you decide to make a scrapbook your journal with come in handy.
