I'm updating this review after using this book for 26 weeks:This journal does a good job of prompting you to write about things you might not have thought to discuss. Somewhat of a "fill in the blank" process, the journal has incomplete sentences that you fill in. There have been several, such as, "Baby, what I really want you to know about me is _______________" that I probably wouldn't have ever thought to include in my baby journal, and was glad to write about. Some other examples of this are:"My parents are acting ______ and it makes me feel ______""The baby can hear now. What he/she probably hears most is _____.""Baby, someone gave me this advice about you and I don't want to forget it: ______".However, there are only 9 pages for photos, and next to no room to record what's happening each week during my pregnancy, as the entire page each week is taken up by these fill-in-the-blank questions. Some of the prompts don't pertain to me (such as ones that talked a lot about morning sickness, which wasn't a major part of my pregnancy), and others made me VERY uncomfortable, such as these examples:"My boobs are (check what applies):_ A teenage boy's dream_ A bit in the way_ Totally painful and huge_ Lovely. Really lovely._ Other: ___________"Another that made both me and my husband squirm and wonder what the author was thinking:"Intimacy is ___________ and involves _______________________ (goes on for three lines).
