Bump To Birthday: Pregnancy & First Year Journal To Capture Memories Of the Growing Bump, the Birth & the New Baby

Lovely little book as a keepsake for years to come and capture those memories

I cannot fault this gorgeous journal. So much so, I've bought it again because I made too many errors when I wrote in my first copy and would like a cleaner journal to reflect on with my little girl as she grows. I have also bought the "Our Story for my daughter" Journal created by the same Author. The Bump to Birthday Journal is so well laid out and has plenty of prompts that made me note down information that I'd have otherwise forgotten. It's a lovely, neutral theme that doesn't point toward either gender which I loved as I didn't find out my babies gender during my pregnancy. The book generally feels good quality, durable and is a lovely size inbetween A5 and A4. The paper is thick and handles pen well. The pages share lovely amounts of infomation about the stage of pregnancy you're at, and have cute little added note bubbles for cravings, weight etc as things progressed. After the pregnancy section, there is then a section for the birth, first month, gifts recieved, first milestones, pages to make first footprints, first birthday/Christmas and so much more. If I could improve anything, it would be the spaces left for pictures. They are landscape orientation and smaller than the average 4x6 print, so I need to get photos printed smaller to fit in those spaces. But maybe I'm just being a bit picky. I genuinely cannot fault this journal aside from that, and will happily purchase more for future pregnancies or as gifts!

I purchased this a second time as I actually got bought this as a gift when I was pregnant with my first. I re purchased when I found out I was pregnant with my second as I absolutely love this book more than anything. It's the perfect journal to fill in through out your whole pregnancy, has lots of fun questions to answer throughout, a section to fill in about the birth and how everything went with relevant questions, as well as pages to record all your babies 'firsts' including their first Christmas and even birthday! Tons of pages to fill in to make it fun and memorable, isn't something that can be completed over night which is good as it gives you something to look forward to each week, lots of spaces for pictures to be added throughout the whole book and it starts from week 9 of pregnancy! Very fun to do! Would order again if I was to ever have a third for sure!

I really liked this book as it documents everything weekly and gives you space for a picture each week which I have filled up with a photo of my growing bump! Each week gives you a section to fill in about how you have been feeling and what you and bump have been up to that week. At week 32 it can become a bit repetitive especially if you have been lucky like me and had a fairly easy pregnancy but I do like the 'what we have been up to section'. It includes sections to just write about your scans and includes space for pictures. Includes specified pages for 'who you told first', 'how we found out' and your birth plan later on. It also gives you an opportunity to write about the birth and how you felt immediately after, who dressed baby first, bathed baby first, first visitors etc. Very detailed and lovely book that will be so nice to look back on in years to come and for ur little one to read when s/he is older.

I reeeealllyy love this book. I'm a first time mummy so coming up with things to write about each week is very easy. There are open blocks for your tummy progress pics or anything else you would prefer to put in there, poems, letters anything! There is a space to mention what you've been up to and how mom's been feeling that week, there is also a little short paragraph on what's biologically happening with the baby so you can keep up to date with their growth and formation. A tiny box mentions cravings, weight, sickness and feelings so you can keep track of those too. It includes a Special section for each of your scans too and divides your trimesters up for you. If you're looking for a book to track EVERYTHING and give your beautiful child ALOT of amazing baby detail to read up about themselves when they're older, this is the one. My mom was given a baby journal when she announced her pregnancy as a gift, she filled in the first page and the rest of the book was empty. I cherished the small amount of info I had but WISHED she had filled in more. I swore to be as detailed with my baby journal as possible and this book has given me the means to do so without taking up too much of my time creating it. Let's face it, life gets busy and if there is too much to make yourself (scrap booking) it tends to get left behind. Having this book all ready for you to just jot down the facts every week is amazingly convenient. Couldn't recommend this more!!

This book is fantastic! There are so many things that happen during pregnancy that it can be really easy to forget things when you are re-telling your pregnancy story to your child in the precious years to come. This book lets you keep a week by week record of these events and will provide the whole family with treasured memories, photographs and stories to share with your baby when he or she is older. It begins from week 9 onwards and on each page there is a space for either a scan photograph, drawing or other memory. I am currently 27 weeks pregnant and didn't purchase this book until after my 12 week scan due to some unfortunate history. Since then I have found this book incredibly valuable and I only wish I had had the nerve to buy this book earlier on because a lot of what happened during my first trimester I had forgotten by the time I came to write it up. There is even a section for information about the baby's father at the beginning of the book and both me and my partner write in this book under the 'bit about me' section each week so he can also feel a part of the pregnancy and our little boy can read about both of us when he is older. A must buy for any pregnant woman!

This baby book is really beautiful and a truly special diary to keep during your pregnancy. It starts with week 9 which for me was early enough. You write in it once a week, which I found excellent as you don't have to keep record every day. And there is lots of space for photos and scans etc. And they give lovely little prompts of what to write. Also there are little pages in between with star signs, birth stone information etc. Which I find really lovely. They give a brief average of what an average baby should measure at each week which is also lovely. Really recommend this book, I look forward to gifting it to my unborn child for a 20th or 30th birthday present. Also a beautiful gift for an expecting mom.

Love this journal!! Beautiful design and very cute illustrations. It is a bit repetitive for those who aren't used to writing in a journal, just be creative. There are pages with birthstones, birth signs, birth flowers etc. A few first moments, spots for pictures etc. This will be a beautiful keepsake for your future child to cherish forever. I highly recommend this journal.

Every thing you need to track during this 9 months journey is there... Bang on . Space for pregnancy kit to each week progress from 8 th week and scheduled ultrasound scan finding you can paste.. my wife was super happy... Not used the other half of the book.. but definitely a decent cute and simple scrapbook for 9 months..

I love this journal and fill it in every week. It has spaces for what is going on in our lives, as well as other details such as cravings, scan results etc. Also space for pictures to stick in every week. Would really recommend it.

Amazing item. Great keepsake. Quick delivery
