A 9 month book in 5 simple steps

Your belly that is getting rounder, special conversations with family members and crazy cravings. A lot happens with your body during your pregnancy. We explain how to capture these developments in a 9 month book using the Baby Diaries Software.

What is a 9 month book?

A 9 month book is a diary of your pregnancy. It is of course entirely up to you how you fill in this pregnancy book. For example, write a piece every day, week or month about what changes you notice in your body. Do your favorite pants really no longer fit? Did you feel your baby kick for the first time? Did you have to run to the bathroom in the middle of a presentation? Did you have a special moment with the grandma-to-be? These are the moments you want to capture for later.

Of course there is also room for photos in your 9 month book. Take a photo every week to show the growth of your belly and also capture special moments such as the happy faces of the grandparents to be and the decorating of the baby's room. Place these photos with the stories, so that together they form a complete story of this unforgettable time.

Do you receive special notes, cards or ultrasound photos during your pregnancy? You can also stick this in your 9 month pregnancy book.

How do you make the best 9 month diary?

You can let your creativity run wild in your 9 month diary. Make use of a standard format that you use again and again. Write your story of that day on the left page and place the right page full of photos. Maybe you want to decide every day or every week how many photos or text you want to use in your story and you prefer not to have a fixed structure in your book. Not fond of writing? Then you record your story in narrative photos and/or drawings.

A few creative ideas for your 9 month book:

• Take a picture of your belly every week and place them consecutively on one or two pages in the book. This creates a timelapse on paper, in which you see your belly getting bigger.

• Write your 9-month diary as a letter to your child when he/she is 18 years old.

• Take pictures that tell a story. Depict funny and touching moments and have someone take a picture.

• Ask family and friends to write an article in your book about how they experience your pregnancy.

• Make funny lists, such as the craziest cravings or the most embarrassing moments you had during this pregnancy.

This is how you easily make a nine-month book

You can make a nine-month book in many ways. You can of course buy an empty photo album and fill it, but that is quite inconvenient. After all, you can't always have such a large book with you and your photos are probably on your phone or camera. We have found a solution: our online Baby Diaries software.

In our app and web application you can easily update your 9 month book wherever you are, even if you don't have internet. You can load photos directly from your phone or computer into the album and your stories are also stored safely in the cloud immediately. An additional advantage is that you can have this nine-month book printed multiple times (also a copy for your child for later). You can also order your diary as a PDF, so that your story is not lost in the event of water or fire damage.
