Being pregnant is a momentous time in a woman’s life. Sure, there are discomforts, but carrying a baby to term is an incredible experience. During the pregnancy, as our baby grows and our bellies swell, we feel wistful and dreamy. Our thoughts are filled with promise and our emotions are acute.

Yet as soon as baby arrives, we quickly shift into nurturing mode. The wistfulness dissolves in a flurry of diaper changes; the daydreams evaporate as baby demands food and cuddles. In fact, sleeplessness can even deprive us of completing a single sensible thought!

A word of advice for all pregnant mothers: keep a pregnancy journal before the demands of motherhood transform your expectations and dreams into a blur! Today, wise women always keep online journals; a diary in which you can write down your fears, complain about your aches and record your dreams for your unborn child. You never know what you are writing today can be useful tomorrow.
