Creative Ways to Document Your Pregnancy
Get an App
Apps can do anything nowadays and tracking pregnancy is no different! I personally used the Ovia Pregnancy tracker. It is free to download, had loads of helpful tips and tracked how far along I was. It also gave me ideas and ways to stay healthy throughout those 9 months!
Belly Pics
Go the classic route and take cute pics of your growing bump. You can add text or just take pics!
There are also apps that give you a place to track that growing baby bump. Cinemama by March of Dimes has an amazing app for a creative way to document pregnancy! With a place to take your bump pics, it makes it so cute and so easy…because, obviously pregnancy brain…
Chalkboard
If you have a more creative, artsy bone in your body, get a cute chalkboard and get creative! Add how many weeks along with any crazy pregnancy things you want to remember…like first kick, cravings or food aversions.
Silhouette
This is such a pretty way to document your pregnancy. Find a pretty window in the house, turn down the lights and have your husband take silhouette shots of your growing bump throughout pregnancy. So lovely.
