Pregnancy Scrapbook Album

making Pregnancy Scrapbooking Album

It is often difficult to determine exactly what to include in the Pregnancy Scrapbook Album since there is so much to include. There are visits to the doctor, decorating the nursery, ultrasounds among many other moments.Perhaps it is the most memorable time of a woman’s life. And you will be overwhelmed at the number of things happening at the same time and at a rapid pace.

The first things to do when making a pregnancy scrapbook album is to keep a calendar close at hand. This will enable you to jot down every moment as it takes place. This will be a sort of journal that you can refer to when you start making the scrapbook. With other important things on your mind, you don’t have to rattle your brains to remember each and every moment.

Tell the story

To narrate the entire story of your child’s life, you must start from the very beginning. Since each pregnancy is unique, what one may take a page to say, another might sum it up in a paragraph. The size of the scrapbook and which chapters are to be included depends very much on this.

The scrapbook can begin with a month by month description of the pregnancy. This is perhaps the most important chapter. For every month, you should include the following:

1. A photograph of yourself showing the progression of your growing belly.

2. A brief entry of your thoughts and emotions.

3. Personal experiences including cravings and sickness.

4. The weight and girth of your belly.

5. Any noteworthy instance, such as the first time you heard the baby’s heartbeat, or decorating the nursery etc.

The doctor

A chapter on doctor’s visits can be combined with the aforementioned chapter unless you have a lot of documents. Try and include the following:

1. The name of the doctor/midwife/doula.

2. The name of the clinic you visited and its distance from your home or place of work.

3. Rituals like listening to the baby’s heartbeat, weighing in etc.

4. Complications and risk of the pregnancy, if any.

Around twenty weeks into your pregnancy, you get to know the gender of your child and see the outline of his or her body on the screen. This is called ultra sonogrphy. It is an emotional and memorable moment which has to be included in the pregnancy scrapbook album.

Many women get to have a baby shower during their pregnancy. It is a very special day and make sure you have a few napkins and confetti in the pregnancy scrapbook album to represent this special day. The others thing to be included in the scrapbook are:

1. The name of the hostess.

2. Names of those who attended the shower.

3. Gifts you received.

4. Games played.

5. Food and drinks.

It is a huge decision to pick the perfect name for your baby. Document the process:

1. How you picked the name.

2. Did you take the help of a book, use a family name or choose a unique one.

3. Did you and your partner agree on the name?

4. The middle name.

5. Whether you chose a name beforehand or waited until the birth of the child.

6. Whether the name has a special meaning.

You will enjoy making this pregnancy scrapbook album, and looking through it in later years will be even more enjoyable. So do hurry and get started on this exciting Pregnancy Scrapbook Album project!
