- My intentions for pregnancy are:
- What I have learned about my local birth options:
- The kind of mother I want to be is:
Guided prompts to write notes to your growing baby, such as:
- Why I'm grateful to be pregnant with you:
- Places I look forward to taking you:
Grounding pregnancy and birth affirmations such as:
- My baby and my body know exactly what to do
- My mom and my ancestors are surrounding and supporting me
Space to write to mom, with prompts such as:
- The ways you inspired me to become a mom are:
- The ways I am inviting you into my birth & motherhood journey (meaningful object, affirmation, photo, etc.):
Guidance on how to curate deeper rituals and practices that make your motherhood journey sacred, such as:
- Breathwork, mindfulness practices, and spiritual exercises
A section to record your baby's birth, write your unique birth story, and an additional chapter to document your postpartum journey.
Spanning all of pregnancy and early postpartum, the Motherless New Mother's Pregnancy Journal is a balm for the tender mom who carries grief alongside a blossoming new love.
Because your mother is not absent from your parenting journey, no matter how long she's been gone. She's here because she lives within every part of you; let this journal conjure that connection and remind you of your own power during a precious part of your life.
