Most of the pages have captions &amp; journaling-style descriptions. Hopefully I'll follow through with later LOs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-keeping-a-physical-pregnancy-journal#post-2455973 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 21:04:27 +0000 LCTBQE 2455973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've kept a daily log in a moleskine notebook of all of my symptoms and doctor's appointments, and a few notes on feelings (which are all like, "9w2d--not very queasy today; absolutely terrified"). But nothing nice or cute :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-keeping-a-physical-pregnancy-journal#post-2455934 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 20:38:28 +0000 fancyfunction 2455934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a physical journal that I write in from time<br /> To time - it's the same one I kept for my last pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-keeping-a-physical-pregnancy-journal#post-2455880 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 19:52:39 +0000 FannyMae 2455880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have two seperate journals for each pregnancy, and since I've had the babies I have lists in them of what gifts were received for special events. I wanted each child to be able to keep one from when I was pregnant with them, rather than have to share a book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-keeping-a-physical-pregnancy-journal#post-2455877 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 19:50:55 +0000 Mrs. Cereal 2455877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I kept one online on my blog for both my kids. I think it is pretty cool that I have this record to share with my kids in the future if they are interested. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-keeping-a-physical-pregnancy-journal#post-2455873 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 19:48:16 +0000 ms.line 2455873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm keeping a paper pregnancy journal. I'm really not into journaling, but my mom died 5 years ago, and being able to read the journal she kept during her pregnancy with me was just so meaningful. I see it as more of a gift to my LO than anything else.

Or are you doing it online? Or not keeping one at all?</p> <p>Why or why not? </p>
