Butterflies & Hiccups, a 180-page journal, beautifully illustrates the miracle
of pregnancy with such grace and charm. Each month contains thought-provoking
questions that prompts the new mother-to-be (and father!) to capture the most
important moments of pregnancy. There is plenty of room to record practitioner
visits, baby's development, the physical changes and symptoms as well as special
circumstances during pregnancy so you can customize your journal to reflect your
unique experiences during this exciting time in your life. There is even room to
include a picture each month, if desired!
Sample Journal Questions:
MONTH ONE: Describe how you felt the moment you found out you were pregnant. Who
was the first person you told that you were pregnant?
MONTH TWO: Are you remembering to take your prenatal vitamins regularly? What is
your favorite food this month?
MONTH THREE: If you've experienced morning sickness, is it starting to subside?
Who do you regularly talk to and share all your pregnancy details with?
MONTH FOUR: What are you wearing this month? (i.e. maternity clothes, oversized
clothes, etc.) What specific worries or concerns do you have related to the
pregnancy?
MONTH FIVE: Is your baby moving around yet? If so, what was your first reaction?
Will you find out the sex of the baby? Why or why not?
MONTH SIX: Have you felt the baby hiccup yet? Have you and your husband decided
on a baby name yet?
MONTH SEVEN: How often to you experience Braxton-Hicks contractions? What are
your favorite pregnancy/childbirth books at the moment?
MONTH EIGHT: How many times have strangers touched your belly? How are you and
your husband preparing for childbirth? (i.e. exercise, perineal massage,
childbirth classes, etc.)
MONTH NINE: How is your husband feeling now that you are almost ready to
deliver? Have you been "nesting"? If so, what have you done to prepare for the
baby's arrival?

Reviews:
“Butterflies & Hiccups is an incredible book to remember your pregnancy
month-by-month, in detail. I used to have to write these things in a blank
notebook, especially if I was trying to remember what made me feel bloated,
tired or gave me heartburn! More importantly, it memorizes those special moments
you will never experience with each child twice, like the actual day of that
first “butterfly” feeling or the time of day your baby kicked or turned more. I
love the idea of having a photograph page for each month for your memories.
Pregnancy is one of the most wonderful aspects of being a woman and being able
to look back on that special time is something that will always bring you a
great sense of pride and joy!”

“Butterflies & Hiccups is a beautifully illustrated, well organized pregnancy
journal. What a wonderful way to keep track of mom's and baby's earliest times
together. I wish I could prescribe this book to every pregnant woman! What a
great way to catalog the time all children later wish they knew about!”
