This was a lovely journal for my third pregnancy! I was so edified and encouraged by reading it each week, through the season of morning sickness and the final weeks which are just hard physically. It had a scripture verse, prayer and a journal prompt for each week. Highly recommending it to all my pregnant friends ❤️

A few years ago, I ordered a couple pregnancy journals to see what they were like. I returned all of them, groaning that they were super fluffy and seemed like a secular book with prayer and Bible verses added.
Not so “The Christian Mom’s Pregnancy Journal.”
While still an accessible, encouraging devotional, Aubry Smith’s book is steeped in Scripture and theology, considering the joys and trials of pregnancy and postpartum through a distinctly biblical lens, applying the truth of God’s Word to common perinatal circumstances, and encouraging prayer for every detail.
And while the devotions are good—and preceded by practical tidbits on your baby’s development and your medical care—the journaling prompts are the best part of this book. They’ll help you process not just the devotional, but all your many and varied pregnancy emotions, reflecting on God’s grace and care of you. There’s even space to work through unhelpful comments you’ve received and body image. Pregnancy is a time to be transformed in Christ, and this journal will help you grow in sanctification even as you grow your baby.
If you’ve read Aubry’s first book, “Holy Labor,” this has many parallel themes to it, especially in the areas of dependence, weakness, and our view of and trust in God.
But as with Holy Labor, I do have some minor theological disagreements, this time with the term “co-creator.” I would prefer sub-creator, to keep the Creator/creature divide clear, as we don’t create in the same way God does—and in pregnancy, our creating is really quite passive anyway! Co-creator also can be taken to very weird places theologically. Aubry does clarify what she means by co-creator in Holy Labor, so I’m not concerned about her usage, but I do still find it a confusing term, and also think that with regard to pregnancy, we really are more vessels than active creators as we might be with other creative endeavors.
