Keeping a pregnancy journal is such a fun way to keep track of everything related to your growing baby: from the moment you find out; to weekly weigh-ins; and everything in between. Keeping track of your emotions throughout your pregnancy can also be a great way of dealing with some of the anxiety that goes along with becoming a mother.
Journaling throughout your pregnancy can help you remember things that you might otherwise forget (trust me, you absolutely will!), and make a beautiful family keepsake. Here’s a list of five of the best pregnancy journal books out there, loved by moms and moms to be!

So cute! I’ve always loved journaling about things but rarely have the time to do so.
Ive always to keep a journal but also put it off. These are adorable and would make a nice gift
I always told myself that I would keep record of my pregnancies but that never happened! These are really beautiful journals though and would love to have done one like it.
I wish I had learned about these 9 months ago! LOL…I just had my last baby.
Those are so adorable! Any of the ones you selected would make excellent gifts for an expecting parent.
They’ve all got cute names, don’t they? :). This is a good list to share!
They are all absolutely adorable!
Awww, I’ve always loved these. I don’t know if I would ever have the gumption to keep up with one, but I’ve always thought they were perfect.
What a lovely gift for a daughter, DIL or niece, or grand-daughter. I love that in the future the grown up baby can look at it!
Sadly, no one kept a pregnancy journal for me. My husband’s mother kept one, and it was the cutest little book I have ever seen! I learned a lot of embarrassing facts about him from that book hehe!
These are all adorable! It would be nice to be able to keep a record of what you went through when you were pregnant especially if it’s your first baby!
Oh, these are very nice journal. When I get pregnant again, I will surely buy one.
Journals are always fun, but its more exciting for expecting moms. These ones look awesome!
These are all so great- These would be great for anyone who is expecting!
What a great idea! I wish I had more pictures of myself during my pregnancy journeys.
These are really neat. It’s nice to have something like this to look back on a few years later.
These are the most adorable pregnancy journals ever, glad you shared them! I am going to share with my expectant mom Friends.
What a great resource. We adopted so it was all about What to Expect When You are Expecting.
These are really pretty. I wish I would have used one.
All of my pregnant girlfriends all just had their babies. I will have to save this in case someone ends up pregnant soon!
Oh I need to buy me one of these! Especially the 40ish weeks one!
I think the 40ish weeks is my type of pregnancy journal. I have always liked the humorous stuff.
These all look like great journals. I need to get one for me niece that is expecting.
My pregnancy should be coming to a close next week otherwise I’d be all over these. Such a good fun idea. Wish I had them for my previous pregnancies to keep track of everything!
What a fun way to record your pregnancy memories! I love that there is one that includes the dad’s thoughts too!
I love these books. I journaled with all four of my pregnancies. I still have those journals and all the memories that go with them.
