Whether the pregnancy was planned or not, the Prego Planner from Braelyn Bounty Bug will help you make sure the rest of the pregnancy is a little more…organized.

The first thing to strike me when I pulled this planner from the box was the gorgeous exterior. It almost makes me wish I was 4 weeks instead of 36 weeks pregnant (I said almost – I’m not crazy) so that I could carry it around with me. At only 7.5″x9″ it would be easy to do, but it just wouldn’t make sense at this point. It really is beautiful, but what’s inside is just as good.

The first section is an undated calender perfect for noting any appointments or special things that happen throughout the pregnancy. (Dec. 19 – “Felt baby move! Or was it gas?”) (Jan. 4 – Definitely not gas!) Totally functional, yet important enough to be printed on stunningly awesome paper.

Section 2 is for all of those details that are easy to forget – OB, midwife, hospital & pharmacy info, prenatal records, and lots of room to record your questions and concerns so you don’t have to rely on your pregnant brain to be working when you show up to your appointment.

The next section helps you through interviewing and selecting a pediatrician and has lots of room to record interview responses and any concerns & questions as well as appointment information.

The fourth section is loaded with checklists – for you & for baby – as well as a place to record the gifts that you receive.

The final section deals with labour and delivery with space for birthing class notes, phone lists, your birth plan, more checklists, the birth story and post-partum information.

All that in an easy to carry little binder! The binder rings are a great feature that is often neglected. It’s so easy to remove pages you don’t need or add paper should you find yourself needing more. It retails for $38 and comes in 3 great styles including the zebra print shown above, ‘dressy’ and a classic chocolate.

Also check out the Tot Tag from Braelyn Bounty Bug – a clever diaper bag checklist that opens to reveal a customizable identification card!
