scrapbook. Include, for example, your appointment card for your prenatal visits, your scan images and receipts for the items that you purchased for your baby. If you include your 2D or 3D ultrasound scans, make sure that you indicate which week it was and make notes of anything that has changed from the previous one. Can you, for example, see clearly that your baby is a boy?
Healthcare providers: Don't forget to include reminders of all of the people who help you during your pregnancy. Photos of the obstetrician, midwives and nurses at the hospital will be a lovely keepsake for your child.
Details: Make sure that you record the measurements taken at every prenatal visit, such as the heart rate of both yourself and your baby. Include brochures from your ante-natal classes and your handwritten notes. Take a photo of the hospital in which your baby is to be born. Lastly, personalise your scrapbook with mementoes
Older children: The scrapbook doesn't have to be just about you. If you have older kids, then it would be lovely to include pages where they can describe their feelings about their new sibling's arrival.
Include the family: The same idea applies to other relatives. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins could all submit a handwritten note and photo.
Memorabilia: You may already keep memory boxes of places that you've been and things that you've done, so you can apply the same ideas to your
from events that took place during your pregnancy: holiday pics, cinema tickets, newspaper clippings of world events and poems that moved you. The internet will give you lots of ideas for poems about pregnancy and you can weave these in throughout the pages. As you near the end of your pregnancy, you'll end
up with a beautiful memento of a special time and, once you've had your baby, you can start into your newborn scrapbook!
Personalise your scrapbook with mementoes from events that took place during your pregnancy: holiday pics, cinema tickets, newspaper clippings of world events and poems that moved you
