Book Reviews of The Belly Book: A Nine-Month Journal for You and Your Growing Belly (Potter Style)
Book Review: Brilliant - especially if this isn't your first baby
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this book - it's fantastic, particularly when it's so hard to find a pregnancy journal that's suitable whether it's your first, second or more pregnancies. It's also the first I've seen that even has the option to record a home birth rather than hospital.
If you're looking for something that's funny too then this is a must - it's not cutesy at all, but has sections for each trimester that says "I've been seriously jonesin' for" where you list the food you've loved and then "The thought of eating this is totally repulsive". Hilarious sections like "Honey can you please come hold back my hair: all the fun and gory details about morning (noon?)(night?) sickness" and "Scooter, Champ & Mr Bubble: inexplicable belly/baby nicknames".
The design of the book is lovely, it has curved pages that get wider for each trimester like a belly outline. It also has a section where you put a weekly photo of your belly so you get a timelapse effect of belly growth which is fun. It's a bit silly to start from week 1 but you could put pictures of yourself from then before you knew you were pregnant. As it's spiral bound you can also rip out any pages you don't want without it showing.
I would definitely get this book again for subsequent pregnancies, I think it's brilliant and it is actually a journal in that you can write how you're feeling week by week, with occasional prompts on some weeks like "more things I miss from life-before-the-belly: _walking sans waddle, _my lap, _normal undies"!
