1. Keep a journal

One useful tool is a journal. With a daily journal, you can track your food, weight, exercises, and sensations. You can also track how you feel emotionally. There are journals dedicated to pregnancy or you could use any journal that you like.

2. Use a pregnancy tracker

With a pregnancy tracker, you can keep track of what is happening with your baby. A pregnancy tracker is a high-tech tool that tracks contractions and baby movement. You can use it at any time during your pregnancy and keep track of what happens in your body to determine baseline data that will help you recognize if anything happens that requires a call to your healthcare provider.

Pregnancy trackers can be purchased or rented. They are small devices that sit on the belly and send information to helpful apps. Couples like trackers because they can share information about sensations that only the mother can feel.

3. Get an app

Pregnant women have a plethora of apps they can use to keep track of what they should expect during their pregnancy term and what is happening in their bodies during the term. This allows them to compare and contrast so they can see if everything is going as it should. They can keep track of food to be sure they are eating nutritious meals and they can keep track of exercises to see if they are staying fit.

4. Buy the book

Along with plenty of apps, there are also plenty of books that show pregnant women what to expect during their pregnancy. These books often include useful tips from physicians and plenty of pictures of what the baby looks like as it develops in the womb.

While the information in the books is helpful, many of the books also have places where pregnant women can record notes about their pregnancies, too. These interactive books have been helping women for decades and have remained popular even though apps and other high-tech devices have been developed.

5. Keep a vlog

A fun way to stay on top of everything during pregnancy is to keep a video blog or a vlog. You can record yourself talking about what happened each day and recording what you look like as your baby grows in the womb. As your baby grows, you will be able to see your belly move when your baby moves and with a vlog, you can record those noteworthy moments that end after your baby is born.

With a vlog, you can also record your partner and other family members who can share their experience during your pregnancy, too. All you need is a smartphone with a video camera and somewhere to store the videos.
