Using A Pregnancy Calendar To Track Your Progress
A pregnancy calendar can help you stay on top of your progress through your 9-month journey. They come in two basic varieties, electronic calendars and wall or desk calendars. Each type has its own unique benefits and you might find you like using both types.
Electronic pregnancy calendars are normally available for free online. Many websites offer calendar services. You register with their site by offering your e-mail address and due date. You then have access to your own personal pregnancy calendar.
The electronic pregnancy calendar system will e-mail you with updates each week. Often this will include information about your baby's development, and even diagrams to show what your baby looks like. These e-mail updates are a convenient way to stay on top of what's going on with your body. The electronic pregnancy calendars will also remind you of things you need to do at different milestones throughout your pregnancy, like register for childbirth classes.
Wall or desk pregnancy calendars act as keepsake calendars. You'll use one to document your pregnancy and keep track of special dates. You could do this on any plain calendar, but there are also calendars made for this purpose. Just like the electronic calendars, you'll be informed of your baby's developmental milestones. But with these calendars there is extra space to write down your feelings and experiences while you're pregnant. They'll also have you write down your weight gain, strange cravings, daddy's reaction to the ultrasound and lots of other fun tidbits. Your child will love to read all about your pregnancy experience when they grow older. This is a great way to stay on top of recording all of the important milestones.
Both calendars have their benefits, so why choose between them? There's no reason you can't have an electronic calendar reminding you through e-mail and a wall calendar where you can record your experiences.
