Summary: I adore this book!
Review: I bought this book during my last pregnancy and looked forward every night to reading the page that dealt with that stage of pregnancy. The bits of folklore made it a lot of fun to read. I have already bought two copies of this book to give to pregnant friends, and I think it's going to become my stock pregnancy announcement gift! I was so impressed with this book that I quoted from it frequently and listed it in the recommended reading list in my own pregnancy book, The Unofficial Guide to Having A Baby. You did a great job on this book, A. Christine Harris. I can't wait to see your next book!

Summary: Worth having, but could be better
Review: This is a terrific idea with some neat information, but I wish there was more writing space and fill ins. I enjoyed the information on other cultures and pregnancy but having another pregancy reference is a must since the journal has some questionable advice (i.e. caffeine is ok, etc.) Also, I was very very confused by the numbering of the weeks, which is in neither gestational nor regular pregnancy weeks but rather right in the middle of the two. So I had to go through and redate all my pages once I figured it out. With so few journals on the market, this is worth getting but could be better.

Summary: A wonderful way to experience the miracle growing within!
Review: I gave this book as a gift to many of my expecting friends. It wasn't until I used for my own pregnancy that I realized how extraordinary it really is. I wish I would have had it during my first pregnancy because it provides detailed information about baby's day-to-day development as well as tips and tricks for surviving some of the strange little things that happen to your body during pregnancy. I loved the way the information was presented...with adorable graphics and places for me to jot down notes about how I was feeling and what I was thinking. This book is a keepsake I'll treasure for a lifetime and hope someday my son will read it and know what a joy it was 'growing' him! Everytime I see this book, I buy it...knowing the next new mom I give it to will enjoy pregnancy so much more with this journal by her side.

Review: I am yet to become a mother but I bought this journal in preperation for my pregnancy. I have already looked through it and am impressed with the information it provides day by day throughout the pregnancy. Having reviewed other journals, I would say that this is the best I have seen so far. Would highly recommend it to any expectant parent.

Summary: A wonderful reference journal for a first-time mommie.
Review: I would eargly look to tommorow for what to expect. Each day was a wonderful experience with tips and information that made the day special. Through this journal, I was able to share what was happening with me with my sister and our mother who live in another state. (We all had purchased the book.) They would read each day's experiences and it brought me closer to them and vice versa. We all would know what was coming up and what was happening at the present. It allowed them to share in the joys and wonderment of all I was experiencing, each and every day. We also said that the journal gave us valuable information for women in general . . . about our bodies and better ways to treat them. It was a joy to write about my experiences and reflect back on the journal and what had taken place. This journal brought me and my family delight, peace, joy and lots of information packed into one little book that was a huge part of our daily lives. It contained information it would have taken oodles of subscriptions to other magazines, trips to the library, and lots of phone calls to my doctor. My deepest thanks to the author for giving me such a priceless gift -- a gift I was able to share with my family, not the least of which was my husband. He too became excited to look back and take a peek at what would be coming. It was a sad time because my mother and sister were not with me. This journal connected us in a special way. Thanks and I look forward to a journal for birth to one year old. (Actually, I could really use it now!!!) Note: These are the thoughts of my sister who has her hands full tending to twins, our mother, and me, as the auntie and the ambassador in sending our kudos.

Summary: A Treasured Keepsake!!!
Review: While pregnant with my sweet angel, Caleb I used this GREAT journal! I have since recommended it to all of my family and friends. The book gives detail after detail the happenings of your baby day by day! I was able to draw on a closeness with my baby because of the ability to know or have an idea of what could be happening during its development. When the 40+ weeks were over and it was time to stop journaling I CRIED, because I had been able to become so involved and it was now time to see and experience this child that I had read and wrote down so much about. This journal is a keepsake and allows you to record notes and special times to look back on. We will cherish and treasure the information we were able to record forever. A GREAT GIFT OR PERSONAL BUY! STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.

Summary: Wonderful, Inspiring daily pregnancy happenings!!
Review: 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.

Summary: A smart, witty, provocative look at day to day pregnancy.
Review: My husband gave me this book when I first became pregnant, and I was immediately taken with its warmth, intelligence, humor and the wealth of information provided by its author. I have given the book on many occasions as a gift to pregnant friends, all of whom have found it to be an extraordinary look at the everyday miracles happening inside of them during pregnancy. The Pregnancy Journal is the next best thing to being in the womb with your growing child, and is loaded with helpful advice on how to make the most of of every moment of your pregnancy. This book should be required reading for every expectant mom and dad.

Summary: A must for the curious first timer!
Review: 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.

Summary: An excellent way to capture those precious pregnant moments!
Review: This journal was instrumental in helping me understand the process of pregnancy and knowing how my baby was growing each day. I eagerly looked forward to reading each day's events and loved to journal about my thoughts and feelings each day. I'm sure my child will love to someday look back and read all my journal entries and see how I was already loving him so much! This is a fabulous book and would want any of my friends who are expecting to enjoy all of its helpful information.
