Summary: better than nothing
Review: As a first time Mom I bought this book to know what was going on on a weekly basis. For that it is helpful, better than nothing for sure. I am not crazy about the nutritional advice since it is very arbitrary. It doesn't take into account supplementation, balancing your diet, how much protein you need etc. Who wants to record their waist size in a book for posterity? I prefer the idea to create a pregnancy cast(presented in the book Birthing From Within).How can you sum up your pregnant feelings in the few lines provided in this journal? You are better off using a spiral notebook for that.I found the anthropological anecdotes to be a waste of time since they in no way will enhance my experience in my culture. There is so much a first time Mom needs to know and some of that could have been presented-even if only in a simple vocabulary and definition sort of way. To improve its quality,I think this book could be a lot shorter if not more comprehensive, as far as the all-important nutrition info., perhaps include pictures of the fetus or even drawings.

Summary: Loved it!
Review: I loved this journal. I had a great time each day or every couple of days reading the interesting facts with my husband. We had fun measuring me when I was in between doctor appointments. Once my daughter was born I filled in the rest and now have it as a wonderful reminder of my pregnancy. I will most definitely get another one when we decide to have another child. Loved it!!!

Summary: Absolute Prego Must Have!!!
Review: This book was awesome! I am looking to buy one for each of my future pregnancies. The information on what is developing every single day, how big the baby is getting, etc. was invalueable and incredible! It gave me an opportunity to really feel like I was bonding with my son before I could even feel him moving around. The Notes section of each week gave me an opportunity to write little letters to my son, and record special things for us to look back on. The "How are you feeling today" section at the end of each week showed each milestone in mood, energy, appetite, morning sickness, cravings and baby movement from day one till delivery.I have repeatedly gone back to this journal and reread every detail and entry with tears and joy for the memento it has given me. This is a must have for all moms-to-be, I recommend having it while you are trying to conceive. What better way to record everything from the moment you find out until the second you go into labor!

Summary: A Great Way to Stay Engaged in Your Pregnancy Every Day
Review: I love this book! Every day I read the passage to my husband and myself. It has been an excellent way to keep us both focused on our baby during this pregnancy, which is my first. I highly recommend this journal to someone who wants day-to-day updates on fetal development and how the pregnancy affects your own body. I think it is especially great for first-time mothers.

Summary: Wonderful pregnancy book
Review: This books provides you with day by day development with you, your emotions, and baby. There's also tips through the book on how to take care of baby and yourself. A wonderful part was the historical facts spread throughout the book telling the reader about how maybe an ancient Mayan woman would have labored, or how ancient Japanese cut and carried their umbilical cords with themselves believing it granted them wisdom. There isn't much room for writing detailed information about your pregnancy, there's only room for notes about every week, but there's room to write down your weight, waist size, appetite, mood, contractions, baby movement, and energy level. Every day is counted and can be dated and there is a countdown to your due date. In the back is room for labor and delivery information and a small folder on the inside back cover for storage of maybe a few papers, I put my ultrasound pictures in it. The cover is beautiful and hardcover, very well durable (the book survived 5 months in my bookbag in school which I can say is better than how some of my textbooks fared and when it got dirty I used a washcloth and easily wiped it clean). The pages are very thick and durable as well. The only problem I had was that the book is spiral bound and the spirals have begun to come out and distort. This is a great book for pregnant woman!

Summary: Wonderful
Review: A great book for an anxious person like me who wants to know EVERY detail of the baby's progress. I'm an information junkie and I find this to be an excellent resource. I read it each night before bed. Excellent!

Summary: Keeps you informed of the changes during pregnancy!
Review: ...I have read the Pregnancy Journal and it is a must have for pregnant women! It keeps you informed of the changes you and your baby go through on a daily basis during pregnancy. It is a good idea to have a blank journal for record keeping along side this comprehensive book!

Summary: A Very Complete Journal
Review: I love this journal so much that I'm online right now buying my 3rd copy! (I bought 1 for a friend and 2 for myself). It has very in-depth information about the development of your baby. And I love the cultural and historical anecdotes in it too! You'll enjoy filling in the "How do you Feel" sections, and the space for writing your own notes isn't overwhelming. I'd recommend this as a must have, and a great gift!

Summary: Great for expectant Fathers too!
Review: This is an excellent book detailing what is happening with the development of the baby day by day. The best thing about this book is that it takes about 3 minutes per day to read. This makes it perfect for both myself and my husband to read before we get out of bed in the morning, or right before we go to sleep at night. The other thing I enjoy about this book is that we are learning so much about what is happening right now before I even feel or look pregnant.
