A Gentle Journey

A Calm, Month-by-Month Pregnancy Guide for First-Time Mothers

Pregnancy changes everything—your body, your emotions, your sense of control, and the way you see yourself. For first-time mothers, it can feel beautiful and overwhelming at the same time.

A Gentle Journey is not a checklist.
It’s not a textbook.
And it’s not a fear-based pregnancy guide.

Written by a registered nurse with over 17 years of experience, this 9-month pregnancy journal was created to walk beside you through every stage of pregnancy with calm, clarity, and compassion. Each month gently explains what is happening in your body, what to expect at prenatal visits, and how to recognize what’s normal—without medical overload or alarming language.

Inside, you’ll find:
• Month-by-month guidance from Weeks 1–40
• Clear, reassuring explanations of OB/GYN visits, ultrasounds, lab work, and screenings
• Embedded education on fetal movement and kick-count awareness
• Thoughtful reflection prompts to process fears, changes, and emotional growth
• Prenatal visit notes pages to track appointments and questions
• A supportive, nurse-led voice that informs without overwhelming

• Black and white coloring pages throughout to add visual context

This journal is designed for women who want to feel informed—but not anxious. For mothers who want to trust their bodies while knowing when to ask for help. For those who need reassurance that they are not “doing it wrong.”

Whether you are newly pregnant or nearing delivery, A Gentle Journey helps you slow down, listen to your body, and move through pregnancy with confidence and care—one month at a time.
