If you are one of those woman's ho like to right about all most everything (like me), this journal has just little space. I was hopping for scans pages and so and pages where I can put pictures of me as my bump was growing, but this journal doesn't offer much.
The pictures of the baby's are beautiful, but is just about it.

A gift well received, 04 Nov 2005
This is trademark Anne Geddes, carefully thought out, well designed and well produced. Good pictures, and journal headings for you to note your progress.
This is for someone who cares a great deal about their impending arrival, and should be shared with people who believe there is still SOME magic in childbirth

fantastic travel journal, 01 Mar 2008
This is the best travel journal that I've found. There are sections for noting down places to visit, eat, stay etc and plenty of space to stick in photos, ticket stubs and that kind of thing. Also has some really beautiful photos of places around the world. Makes a really nice gift.

Informative, well researched and interesting, 26 Feb 2005
I am currently at 19 weeks of my first pregnancy and am finding this book a wonderful asset. The first trimester is full of description of all the changes that are going on inside with out my even knowing. The second trimester, there are fewer changes going on with baby and more with Mom. There are important tidbits of information including; nutrition and saving your back, cross-cultural examples of childbirth and pregnancy and proverbs and quotes which will make you reflect. All of this and it's a journal, but not one with blank empty pages that you have to fill in even when you're not feeling anything particularly different. A few lines here and a few lines there. Even the information is not too much to digest at a time, allowing you to miss a few days and not be overloaded with catching up. A plus for busy Mom's and Dad's who are trying to get as much information as possible without having to read the encyclopedic books on pregnancy and birth.

EXCELLENT , I read this every day.., 20 May 2002
A great day by day account of what;s happening inside, with space to record how I feel and what my own body is going through- so I can remember for the next time! I loved the excerpts on what goes on in other cultures surrounding a poregnant woamn, the birth, motherhood & fatherhood.

Very disappointing., 05 Apr 2002
I used the Anne Geddins Pregnancy Journal for my first pregnancy and was looking for something a little different for my second pregnancy. I was very disappointed in this title as it is purely a "journal" (ie blank pages with no prompts). The Anne Geddins Pregnancy Journal prompts you on each page with questions about the pregnancy which I found easy to answer and it made writing in it easy for me.

Wonderfully informative, lighthearted and interactive., 22 Aug 2000
I received this as a gift for my 1st pregnancy and used it every night. It's very informative about what is going on with your pregnancy on a day-to-day basis. It allows you to keep notes about how you feel, your weight, dr. appt's. etc. I bought one for my 2nd preg. and it was great to be able to compare notes from the 1st. It's a great gift for a newly preg. friend or for yourself - I just found out a friend is preggo - so I'm sending her a copy right now!

Nice book but not a weekly journal, 06 Oct 2008
Two things worth mentioning about this book - one is that it is quite American (lots of Mom and Mommy) and the other is that it's not a week-by-week journal. Instead it has questions divided into sections like thoughts before the birth and coming home etc.

It's good to have a section on baby milestones like sitting up and smiling etc as ones I've seen before just finish at the coming home point.

As the previous reviewer said, it has got a strong Christian theme throughout and a whole section of questions on things like 'when did baby first hear about God' and writing to baby about what your relationship with God is.

It is clever to take the format of love letters to the baby and would make a lovely gift to them when they are older. I think I'd rather have a week by week journal, though this would make a good gift to a religious friend when you don't know if they've already got a week-by-week pregnancy journal.

Great Book., 20 Feb 2003
I was looking for a book for my second baby as I had used the Anne Geddes "My Pregnancy Journal" for my first baby and I didn't want my two children to have the same books and be able to compare too much!

This book was a real find. I thoroughly enjoyed writing up this book and recommend it to other expectant mothers. It does have a very strong religious theme which I wasn't aware of when I bought it but it suited me perfectly. There is plenty of space for writing up details of when you found out about the pregnancy, from the first scan through to the birth. It also allows space to add details of the nursery, gifts you received and dates of memorable moments - rolling over, sitting, crawling and walking. The book also includes many quotes from the bible and some very beautiful poems. There are also places for you to write very special personal moments and memories. This book really would be a "Love Letter to your Baby" and I can't wait for the moment I will be able to sit and enjoy going through it with my daughter one day.

If you are planning a wedding, and are looking for a great present for your young attendants, then My Day as a Bridesmaid is perfect. From congratulating your attendant on being chosen, to a section for dreaming about her wedding and future husband, this book will help any young bridesmaid record that special day so she can look back in years to come and remember all the little details that made it so special.

An integrated envelope provides a place for keeping wedding souvenirs, while lots of sections to fill in and repeated "Things to Practice" sections mean nothing will be left to chance in the preparations for the big day. A clear explanation of duties adds gravity to the important role, but there's also space for plenty of fun and remembering the other people involved in the ceremony.

Photo or drawing sections are a lovely touch, turning the whole into an album that will keep a visual as well as written record of everything that happened. Plan ahead, buy one for each of your attendants and make sure you are giving them a means to keep, as well as make, memories. --Lucie Naylor

Brilliant pre wedding gift for small bridesmaids, 19 Dec 2006
I bought this book for a young bridesmaid to prepare her and keep her involved in the day. It is a wonderful book to add photos, draw pictures and collect bits (eg: confetti) throughout the day to stick in later and helps your bridesmaids understand what is happening and what will be expected of them.
I wish I had been given it when I was a little bridesmaid!

The perfect gift for your bridesmaids, 30 Dec 2003
I gave this book to each of my 4 nieces when I asked them to be my bridesmaids. Its a wonderful way to bring the day to life in the run up to "their" special day! As well as explaining the wedding and the run up to the big day, they can put in dates of their dress fittings, draw pictures, write what they are feeling and even pop little keepsakes in there (one even asked if she could have some of my eyelashes for her book!) Perfect for little girls!

A lovely gift and pre-wedding guide for a young bridesmaid, 21 Apr 2000
A wonderful little book that describes a wedding in easy to understand terms. It gives your little bridesmaid an idea of what to expect, as well as explaining that her part in the day is very special and enjoyable. With sections for pictures and photographs to add in it really encourages a special feeling and takes away any fears. A beautiful little book which would make a lovely gift from the bride and groom in the run-up to the wedding.

159 pages of opportunity to chronicle your cruise adventure, 08 Jan 1999
The Cruise Journal gives you plenty of space to chronicle everything you'd want to remember and more. There are places to note the ship particulars, crew names with remarks, new friends with space for even e-mails, meals, entertainment, ports of call, excursions, gifts, photos and of course pages and pages for other jottings of events. At the back of the book is opportunity to plan future crusies with calendars from 1998-2001. There is a handy check list of supplies, conversion charts including clothing from other countries and maps. This is a very complete journal for that very special trip.

Useless!, 14 Aug 2007
Beautifully designed and illustrated, a joy to see on the coffee table but completely useless. It's based rigidly on four week months and has only 48 weeks in its year. There are fudges to get round this but they all destroy the detailed year on year comparison that is the very essence of a five year diary. Very, very, disappointing from a revered organisation like the RHS.

If you are one of those woman's ho like to right about all most everything (like me), this journal has just little space. I was hopping for scans pages and so and pages where I can put pictures of me as my bump was growing, but this journal doesn't offer much.
The pictures of the baby's are beautiful, but is just about it.

A gift well received, 04 Nov 2005
This is trademark Anne Geddes, carefully thought out, well designed and well produced. Good pictures, and journal headings for you to note your progress.
This is for someone who cares a great deal about their impending arrival, and should be shared with people who believe there is still SOME magic in childbirth

fantastic travel journal, 01 Mar 2008
This is the best travel journal that I've found. There are sections for noting down places to visit, eat, stay etc and plenty of space to stick in photos, ticket stubs and that kind of thing. Also has some really beautiful photos of places around the world. Makes a really nice gift.

Informative, well researched and interesting, 26 Feb 2005
I am currently at 19 weeks of my first pregnancy and am finding this book a wonderful asset. The first trimester is full of description of all the changes that are going on inside with out my even knowing. The second trimester, there are fewer changes going on with baby and more with Mom. There are important tidbits of information including; nutrition and saving your back, cross-cultural examples of childbirth and pregnancy and proverbs and quotes which will make you reflect. All of this and it's a journal, but not one with blank empty pages that you have to fill in even when you're not feeling anything particularly different. A few lines here and a few lines there. Even the information is not too much to digest at a time, allowing you to miss a few days and not be overloaded with catching up. A plus for busy Mom's and Dad's who are trying to get as much information as possible without having to read the encyclopedic books on pregnancy and birth.

EXCELLENT , I read this every day.., 20 May 2002
A great day by day account of what;s happening inside, with space to record how I feel and what my own body is going through- so I can remember for the next time! I loved the excerpts on what goes on in other cultures surrounding a poregnant woamn, the birth, motherhood & fatherhood.

Very disappointing., 05 Apr 2002
I used the Anne Geddins Pregnancy Journal for my first pregnancy and was looking for something a little different for my second pregnancy. I was very disappointed in this title as it is purely a "journal" (ie blank pages with no prompts). The Anne Geddins Pregnancy Journal prompts you on each page with questions about the pregnancy which I found easy to answer and it made writing in it easy for me.

Wonderfully informative, lighthearted and interactive., 22 Aug 2000
I received this as a gift for my 1st pregnancy and used it every night. It's very informative about what is going on with your pregnancy on a day-to-day basis. It allows you to keep notes about how you feel, your weight, dr. appt's. etc. I bought one for my 2nd preg. and it was great to be able to compare notes from the 1st. It's a great gift for a newly preg. friend or for yourself - I just found out a friend is preggo - so I'm sending her a copy right now!

Nice book but not a weekly journal, 06 Oct 2008
Two things worth mentioning about this book - one is that it is quite American (lots of Mom and Mommy) and the other is that it's not a week-by-week journal. Instead it has questions divided into sections like thoughts before the birth and coming home etc.

It's good to have a section on baby milestones like sitting up and smiling etc as ones I've seen before just finish at the coming home point.

As the previous reviewer said, it has got a strong Christian theme throughout and a whole section of questions on things like 'when did baby first hear about God' and writing to baby about what your relationship with God is.

It is clever to take the format of love letters to the baby and would make a lovely gift to them when they are older. I think I'd rather have a week by week journal, though this would make a good gift to a religious friend when you don't know if they've already got a week-by-week pregnancy journal.

Great Book., 20 Feb 2003
I was looking for a book for my second baby as I had used the Anne Geddes "My Pregnancy Journal" for my first baby and I didn't want my two children to have the same books and be able to compare too much!

This book was a real find. I thoroughly enjoyed writing up this book and recommend it to other expectant mothers. It does have a very strong religious theme which I wasn't aware of when I bought it but it suited me perfectly. There is plenty of space for writing up details of when you found out about the pregnancy, from the first scan through to the birth. It also allows space to add details of the nursery, gifts you received and dates of memorable moments - rolling over, sitting, crawling and walking. The book also includes many quotes from the bible and some very beautiful poems. There are also places for you to write very special personal moments and memories. This book really would be a "Love Letter to your Baby" and I can't wait for the moment I will be able to sit and enjoy going through it with my daughter one day.

Brilliant pre wedding gift for small bridesmaids, 19 Dec 2006
I bought this book for a young bridesmaid to prepare her and keep her involved in the day. It is a wonderful book to add photos, draw pictures and collect bits (eg: confetti) throughout the day to stick in later and helps your bridesmaids understand what is happening and what will be expected of them.
I wish I had been given it when I was a little bridesmaid!

The perfect gift for your bridesmaids, 30 Dec 2003
I gave this book to each of my 4 nieces when I asked them to be my bridesmaids. Its a wonderful way to bring the day to life in the run up to "their" special day! As well as explaining the wedding and the run up to the big day, they can put in dates of their dress fittings, draw pictures, write what they are feeling and even pop little keepsakes in there (one even asked if she could have some of my eyelashes for her book!) Perfect for little girls!

A lovely gift and pre-wedding guide for a young bridesmaid, 21 Apr 2000
A wonderful little book that describes a wedding in easy to understand terms. It gives your little bridesmaid an idea of what to expect, as well as explaining that her part in the day is very special and enjoyable. With sections for pictures and photographs to add in it really encourages a special feeling and takes away any fears. A beautiful little book which would make a lovely gift from the bride and groom in the run-up to the wedding.

159 pages of opportunity to chronicle your cruise adventure, 08 Jan 1999
The Cruise Journal gives you plenty of space to chronicle everything you'd want to remember and more. There are places to note the ship particulars, crew names with remarks, new friends with space for even e-mails, meals, entertainment, ports of call, excursions, gifts, photos and of course pages and pages for other jottings of events. At the back of the book is opportunity to plan future crusies with calendars from 1998-2001. There is a handy check list of supplies, conversion charts including clothing from other countries and maps. This is a very complete journal for that very special trip.

Useless!, 14 Aug 2007
Beautifully designed and illustrated, a joy to see on the coffee table but completely useless. It's based rigidly on four week months and has only 48 weeks in its year. There are fudges to get round this but they all destroy the detailed year on year comparison that is the very essence of a five year diary. Very, very, disappointing from a revered organisation like the RHS.

A channel to understand your kid, 23 Aug 1999
The exercises in drawing and writing are very interesting and simple. Even my 4-year girl can be easy to follow. Thru my girl's artworks, wordings and creativity I can learn and understand her world. I am really appreciate I find a vehicle to sharing my girl's feelings, experiences and dreams.

Lovely journal..., 28 Aug 2007
Lovely journal even although it is very American based. It prompts you to think of various aspects of pregnancy and write your feelings and thoughts.
