65 Pregnancy Journal Prompts for First Time Moms

Welcome to our special first journal guide, “Pregnancy Journal Prompts.”

What Is a Pregnancy Journal?

A pregnancy journal is like a special diary for a woman who is going to have a baby. Imagine you have a friend who is really interested in what’s happening to you and your baby. This friend is your pregnancy journal! Every day, or whenever you feel like it, you can write down your thoughts, feelings, and anything new happening with you and the baby.

Think of it as a storybook about your journey to becoming a mom. You can write about how you feel, what you’re doing to get your life ready for the baby, and even guess what your baby might be like. It’s a way to remember all the little and big moments, like the first time you felt the baby kick or the day you picked out a name.

Your own journaling is a private place, just for you, where you can share all your excitement, worries, and dreams. Think of yourself as an essay writer crafting a special memory book. When you write in it, you’re capturing moments and feelings, turning them into stories. Later, when your baby is grown up, you can look back and tell them all about the time when they were just a tiny little one inside your tummy. It’s like creating a treasure full of memories that you and your child can cherish forever.

What to Write in Your Pregnancy Journal

When you have a pregnancy journal, you might wonder, “What should I write in it?” Well, it’s your own special book, so you can write anything you feel like writing! Here are some pregnancy journal ideas:

Your Feelings: Write about how you feel. Are you excited, nervous, happy, or a little bit of everything? It’s okay to have all sorts of feelings.
Baby’s Growth: You can write about how your baby is growing. It’s like keeping track of a tiny seed growing into a beautiful flower.
Doctor Visits: When you visit the doctor, you can write about what the doctor said, how your baby is doing, and any advice the doctor gives you.
Your Body Changes: Your body does amazing things when you’re pregnant. You can write about how it feels and changes.
Baby Names: Thinking of names for your baby can be fun. Write down your favorite names and why you like them.
Preparations for Baby: Are you setting up a room for the baby or getting clothes and toys? Write about how you’re getting ready.
Wishes and Dreams: What do you dream for your baby? What kind of world do you wish they grow up in? Write these down, too.
Questions and Wonders: If you have questions or wonder about things, write them in your journal. It’s a great way to remember what you were curious about.
Messages to Baby: You can even write messages to your baby. Tell them about your day, your hopes, and how much you love them.
Everyday Moments: Even everyday things can be special. Maybe you felt the baby kick, or you craved funny food. Write it down!

Remember, there’s no right or wrong way to write in your journal. It’s all about you and your baby’s journey together.
