 READ ME BEFORE BUYING September 29, 2008

This book is not that great
Bad prompt questions
Certainly the wrong questions for a second pregnancy
The trimesters are off
It is just boring
 Great scrapbook September 18, 2008
I have really enjoyed filling out my Belly Book! Of all the pregnancy journals I looked at, this is by far my favorite. It has good prompts for what to write, and it's fun to see the before and after pictures of my growing belly.
Good With or Without Belly Pics.. September 18, 2008
I'm 18 weeks along and have only taken a couple of belly pictures, but I've still found this pregnancy journal to be excellent. It's funny, there's space to capture all the details, and there are plenty of questions to inspire you to write about your pregnant. Before you officially "pop" I recommend taking photos of things other than your (flat) belly and pasting those into the book. They'll be equally as interesting to anyone reading it in the future. Put a picture of you putting your crib together, or one of you watching the first ultrasound... any of that would be wonderful in lieu of one belly photo after the next. I do recommend taking at least one "before" photo of the earliest stages of pregnancy, one before you've completely popped (when you look more like you've eaten a full meal), one after popping, and then one towards the end. But that's all you'll really need. The rest of the journal will be the best parts.
 cute but some issues September 16, 2008
My friend and I looked at this book in the store and we were a bit confused. How could you take a picture of week 1 of your pregnancy? If there are 12 weeks in the first trimester, then that would be two weeks before you conceive. Also, if you go over term, there aren't extra week pages for that. It would be better if they were included because they could easily be removed (the book is spiral bound) if you deliver early or on time.
Also, for a book that doesn't have much actual text, there are two typographical errors that we both caught immediately. That's unfortunate.
All in all, this might be the best actual book for pregnancy tracking because it doesn't have all the information hat all the other books have. If you just want a cute record of pregnancy, this might be your book. On the other hand, you could probably make your on using the ideas from this book and it would be more personal (aka not check boxes), have the appropriate length for your pregnancy and wouldn't have errors.
Such a Fun Book! September 15, 2008
I am only in my 9th week, but I already love this book! I am keeping a journal of my pregnancy, but this is more of a fun, cutesy way of remembering everything. I would highly recommend it!
