Why write a pregnancy journal?
Ready to change your life, you are starting to experience the first months of your pregnancy. Whether alone or accompanied, you don't have to be afraid of the moments to come. Every moment of this period is magical. And indeed, you will discover it little by little. So, don't you think it's the best time to start a pregnancy journal? There's nothing better to record these 9 emotionally rich months. From the beginning of the adventure, you can create memories and record them every day. You'll see that in the end, you did the right thing.
Your pregnancy journal helps you refocus on yourself.
This bulletin is an effective way to take stock of the progress of your pregnancy. Every day, you realize that your life is changing. A little being is growing inside you. It keeps growing. And at every moment, it shows you its presence.
Its existence depends on you. So, it is important that you refocus on yourself, your priorities, and especially on your desires and the lifestyle you want to maintain. Don't let yourself be overwhelmed by external influences and negative comments around you. Write in your journal your desires, your future projects, and the steps to take to achieve them. This way, you will manage to focus on the essential: YOU and your child.
Your pregnancy journal soothes your mind and helps you find the way.
All your feelings, the baby feels too. If you are happy during the nine months, the baby is too. It senses your stress, it tends to affect it more than you think. You directly transmit both positive and negative vibes to it. So, the ideal is to let go of your fears and calm your mind as best as you can.
Writing is often an effective way to free yourself from these doubts. If you can put words to it, verbalize and articulate your fears and deepest doubts, you will find it easier to find solutions to your troubles. Nothing is taboo in your pregnancy journal. You can talk about everything in your bulletin.
You share your thoughts, wishes, and perspectives there. By recording all of this, you manage to sort things out, position yourself, and move forward.
Your pregnancy journal accompanies you throughout life.
A few years after the birth of your children, you begin to notice that they are growing a little too fast. They become more independent, less available, and less present. They are no longer the babies who constantly need your help. Then, you reread your memories and rediscover that magic and happiness. You fall back into each of those moments, and you realize how fortunate you are to have had the opportunity to give life to a little being.
How to keep a pregnancy journal?
An optimal organization of your journal is essential not to lose track. It assists you and helps you have a constant overview of the situation's evolution. To do it right, I advise you to set up several sections. Decorate and subdivide your writings according to your current inspirations. However, the ideal is to have the following paragraphs. Indeed, this approach is a simple way to track your pregnancy. You get a lot of information over the weeks and months, so it's up to you to do retrospectives from time to time. This will pull you towards the right path to follow.
A clear follow-up of your evolution is practical to help both you and your little one stay healthy. It is imperative to keep an eye on:
- Your diet,
- Your sleep,
- Your ultrasounds,
- Your weight and your baby's weight,
- Your sensations,
- Your fears,
- Your habits,
- And everything that goes on in your mind.
