The Pregnancy Journal: A Day-to-Day Pregnancy Guide
The Pregnancy Journal classic is back! Fully revised with the latest medical information on both mom’s health and baby’s development, this best-selling journal is packed with daily entries that feature tips, advice, and plenty of room for personal reflection. Beautifully repackaged with a fresh design, this one-of-a-kind journal established both as a self-purchase and gift of choice is the ultimate resource for today’s expecting mother.
Whether this is pregnancy number 1 or number 10, nothing makes it easier to connect with a growing baby than knowing exactly what magical development is happening every day. Filling the need for practical information, medical data, emotional and spiritual fuel, and even “pregnancy trivia,” The Pregnancy Journal is easily one of the best books available for a woman or couple expecting a baby. The journal contains about half a page of information for each day from conception through delivery.
Nutrition, how to avoid discomforts associated with pregnancy, childbirth customs in other cultures, and practical parenting tips are among the topics touched on. Many days in the journal have a great section called “Did You Know”; for example, from Day 49: “The baby’s arms at this point are only as long as this printed 1.” At the bottom of each page of The Pregnancy Journal is a quote from a literary or historical figure; some are sentimental, some pithy, some humorous, all inspiring.
The information and quotes seem to invite musings and speculation on the miracle unfolding inside the womb; there is some space for recording data and thoughts, but if you want to write more than just a few lines every few days, you might want to have a blank journal to accompany The Pregnancy Journal. The format of this book makes it much more manageable and inviting than most books on pregnancy, and the information is made even more accessible by the inclusion of a glossary/subject index in the back. Don’t wait until the shower to give this excellent resource and thoughtful gift–moms-to-be will want to have it from the very beginning.

The Pregnancy Journal
If one were to define a pregnancy journal, it would be a treasury or repository of exciting and thrilling experiences of a pregnant woman on her way to motherhood. Why is it important to write a pregnancy journal? The well-known reason is that, after delivering a baby, woman gradually tends to forget her unique experiences during pregnancy. This is what prompts many a mom-to-be write a pregnancy journal.
The best way to keep you updated with memories of your pregnancy is to get a copy of the pregnancy journal. For those who are already enjoying their motherhood, sharing the personal benefits by keeping a pregnancy journal to others can prove to be extremely beneficial. Pregnancy journal or diary, allows oneself to analyze how pregnancy brought changes to their lives and what they learnt about themselves and also the environment in which they are living.
Tips on the five elements: (1) Clearly state the thesis. (2) Under methods, answer the following questions. “What methods did the author use to investigate the topic? Were the appropriate methods used? Did the author’s approach to supporting the thesis make sense? Did the author employ the methods correctly? Did you discover any errors in the way the research was conducted?” (3) Evidence of Thesis Support:
Writing the pregnancy journal critique can be a hard task to begin unless you have a good guide to follow on just how to critique. The best way to learn how to critique is to have access to a good journal critique that can help you along your way with writing a well-researched critique with nothing left out or to the imagination. Searching online for guides on how to write a journal critique, I found an online website that has an excellent critique of Middle Eastern Studies.
Sign Of Pregnancy – There are several symptoms and signs of pregnancy experienced fairly early, even before the missed periods stage. Nearly all women go through it. Some women may overlook it, as they are not able to distinguish the early signs of pregnancy from similar health problems. While some women immediately sense the abrupt change in their body and take precaution. Some of these early signs of pregnancy are:
Getting a copy of The Pregnancy Journal is another great idea, to keep a record of the happenings and feelings experienced by you during your pregnancy. It is a way of focusing on a your successes or changes to pave the way towards positive outlook and change in perspective during pregnancy.

I LOVE THIS BOOK! When I first discovered I was pregnant I purchased the book: “What to Expect When You Are Expecting”. I wish I had purchased this book first. It is so much more helpful and supportive. Like many books written about pregnancy, it breaks information down into the 9 lunar months of pregnancy. The difference is that it offers information about each day of your pregnancy. Fascinating tidbits about how your baby is growing, what is taking place in your body and important facts about nutrition and health. It also includes quotes about children that are sometimes humorous, sometimes philosophical, and always uplifting. Also included, trivia about childbirth in other cultures. On each page, there is room to write your thoughts about the baby and your pregnancy. Each month you can chart your waist size and weight. This will make a great keepsake that your son or daughter can enjoy later. They will find it fascinating to know of your mental and emotional as well as physical interactions with them from the moment of their conception or from the moment you knew you were pregnant. If you are on a tight budget and can only afford one book for your pregnancy, choose this one!

My mother gave me a copy of Christine Harris’ book when I was a couple of months pregnant and after opening the book I’d wished I’d had it since day one! I immediately found information that was applicable to me personally and I could relate to everything that she had written. From then on it was a daily companion and I found it difficult to not read days, weeks, or even months ahead. I particulary liked the pages where she allowed room to write a journal entry on your thoughts and feelings that day. I still go back and read it now and then. I also liked that there was room to chart your weight and waist line. Some women may be apprehensive about charting their weight but later on your’e really glad that you did. It’s fun to look back on. Two days ago I found out I was pregnant with my second child and I’m heading out to the store today to get my second copy for this pregnancy. Thank you Christine!

When I was pregnant with my first, I was looking for a book that would give me a little information about what was happening each day during the pregnancy and also gave me space to write my thoughts, feelings, weight and stats. This was the ONLY book that met all my needs. I used it almost daily (sometimes I’d have to catch up two days or so). But the information that it gave each day was wonderful. It made the pregnancy seem so much more real. I was able to read things like…”today the fingers are forming” or “your baby has the abilty to suck now”. It is a great book and I highly recommend it to all pregnant women, especially first time moms.

I ordered this book within days of learning I was pregnant. I’ thrilled to have a book on my nightstand which offers me a daily information and so much insight to what’s going on with this little blessing inside me. I still can’t feel the baby move but I have a great idea of the size and of what has already gone on in the development process. I am also more in touch with how my body has changed since the journal offers room for me to chart my changes and enter a few notes here and there. I am about to order a copy for a friend who noted that she wished she’d been tracking her waist size changes. It is well worth the $16 and will make a great gift. I haven’t found anything in this book to alarm or worry me (after having a few miscarriages I have found a lot to worry about) or anything which I felt the author really didn’t need to share. Just day-by-day information about how my baby is growing, how I my body is changing and even some inspirational tid-bits and wisdom.

Understanding what changes were taking place with both my baby and myself day-to-day during pregnancy was such a joyful and enriching experience. I was appreciative of Dr. Harris’ “parent tips” to be read during pregnancy. Not enough books out there cover the many issues that come up right after you bring your baby home from the hospital; this Journal offers sound advice for the postnatal period as well. I also wanted to bring to readers’ attention that Dr. Harris has a companion volume entitled, Baby’s First Year Journal, published in the same spiral-bound format. It’s an excellent companion volume.
