Sample Journal Page for Week 14
- MY PREGNANCY JOURNAL:
Each guidebook contains many blank
pages with guides to inspire you to express your feelings during this
special time. Don’t worry if you’re not much of a writer. Journal writing
is simply about getting your inner thoughts and feelings out and on paper.
Think of it as a diary
—which no one else has to ever see— where writing down important thoughts
gives you a sense of relief and makes things clearer to you. When you
capture your thoughts and feelings as they happen, you’ll be saving
precious memories to look back on when your baby is grown.
- Week 14 Objective: Think and write about what baby
This is a good time for you and the father or
partner to think and make your guesses about what baby might look and be like.
But they’re just guesses! Your baby will be special and unique in ways
you can’t imagine yet, and that’s part of the joy of parenting. It’s also
time to start to think about who’ll be responsible for what after your
baby is born.

The exercises and music on the Nurturing Baby and Me CD were
specifically developed to relax and gently guide you. Wherever you find
this CD symbol, play that track. It will make your experience more
fulfilling , more easy and fun. All you have to do is listen and go with
the flow….
Music is one of the best ways to help the body recover from
stress.
The right relaxing music can help ease your body and mind,
and a calm mother can also mean a calm baby. Later in the program you’re going to
use music and song to reach and perhaps even
entertain your unborn. If you play this specially composed music
often during your pregnancy and play it during birth, there is a good
chance baby will not only recognize the music he heard in the womb, but be
soothed by it.

 You’ve read some amazing stories of how some moms have connected with
their unborn babies. We believe that nothing
is more important in the world than the bond between mother and
child.
If you have an interesting story to tell about how you first nurtured and
loved your baby, please share it. We’ve found that real experiences from
“moms like me” is the best way to inspire others. So, write and tell us
how you communicated with your baby before birth, what you experienced and
how it may have affected your baby after birth .
