Staying Organized While Pregnant: Prego Planner LIVE Giveaway!
I’m a sucker for anything pregnancy related right now. Yes, I’m a marketer’s dream! Pregnancy pillows, belly bands, I’m looking for it all! I’m also in love with everything baby right now though I just can’t wait to try it on Spawnie.
Most times it hasn’t really sunk in that I’m REALLY having a baby. I still can’t wrap my head around the concept. I sorta feel like I’m playing house and we’re just pretending. I’m usually most eager for my next doctor’s appointment, but I feel bad cause when that day finally arrives I’m usually forgetting my questions.
I love keeping a record of things and I LOVE to write things down. Hence my blog… But I also have a baby journal, a regular journal, and a little notebook I keep in my purse to jot down thoughts throughout the day.
Putting my need to stay organized, write things down, and my love for pregnancy products all into one. Heather Patterson told me about the Prego Planner, your ultimate pregnancy organizer and offered to send me one and I literally squealed when I got it. See… There’s this thing called Prego Brain… I didn’t believe it when people first told me about it but now I have a TESTIMONY of it! This will help save you from it’s wrath!
There’s so much in this planner! A place for info about your OB or Midwife, a place for your updates at each checkup with spots for every measurement they take! Lists for a new baby!.. Oh it’s so fun. Here’s most of the features:
- 12-month undated calendar
- Pages to hold critical information such as OBGYN/Midwife contact information, hospital information, insurance information, pharmacy information, test results, questions for the physician and a chart to assist in keeping track of monthly progress
- Interview questions for potential pediatricians
- The ultimate nursery checklist to assist with registering for baby showers and keeping track of what items have been fulfilled and what hasn’t
- An essential “acts of kindness” and gift log
- A unique checklist of things to do before baby arrives
- An area for the birth plan
- A hospital packing list for Mom, Dad and Baby
- Family and friends call list
- Post delivery checklist
- Space for postpartum visit questions
- A handy pocket for paperwork
- Coated and sturdy tabs that make the desired pages readily available
- Easily interchangeable pages… and much more
I’ve already filled out my calendar and have Spawnie’s due date marked along with my weekly milestones. 
I love that pages can easily be removed if you don’t need it, or rearranged easily because it’s put together in a three ring binder. It easily fits in my purse and you’d better believe it’s at every doctor’s visit with me!
A lot of you I know will love that there’s also a place for my birth plan! Can’t wait to fill those pages out (there’s several)! And like I mentioned before, there’s several checklists for your newborn as well as for your hospital bag.
Being a first time mom I think it has really been so helpful in having a place for everything I may want to ask, or want to make note of. And it keeps me incredibly organized. I said I like to write things down but I didn’t say I was organized… This keeps me that way!
So far this has been one of my FAVORITE pregnancy items (along with Bellybars and potatoes) and I think it’s one of those things any newly preggo should add to their list of “must haves.”
If you’re not into the Chocolate style kind that I have, there’s also Zebra, and Dressy.
Another great feature… It’s not expensive. The Prego Planner is only $24.

This is a part of my Full Term of Giveaways. It’s easier for me to do a giveaway a week instead of one big one, and it’ll make time go by faster! If you’re interested in sponsoring a pregnancy or fertility related review and giveaway please use the “contact” link above or email babymakingmachine{at}gmail.com. Stay tuned for tons of fun!
My reviews are my honest opinions I’m not compensated monetarily for my thoughts. I was given a product for the purpose of conducting the review.
oooh fun! i love the checklist. i’m a checklist kinda of girl. and the calenar. i’m big on milestones, like when baby first moved, first ultrasound and stuff like that!
i tweeted the tweet you have above!!
i follow bounty bug on twitter
Have you learned about/done a review on the hip slimmer? It’s supposed to be a corset for your hips so you can wear your old skinny jeans after birth. If you haven’t heard of it, I thought you might like it 🙂
Do you have a bella band yet? They also make ones for after birth (I can’t remember what they’re called, but I have a small that I won’t ever fit into and you might…). Those ones are supposed to help your tummy shrink back to its normal size.
I am a follower and my favorite feature is: A unique checklist of things to do before baby arrives

I had the worst preggo brain, so I would have loved to have an organized place to jot down questions for my doctor.
This would have been perfect while I was pregnant!!
I’m already well over half way done with my pregnancy but I think it’d be great to still use!!!
How was everyones Christmas?
Mine was great! 🙂 Can’t believe next year I’ll have a little one for Christmas!!!!
Currently I’m sitting eating a yummy sugar cookie. 🙂 Mmmm. Favorite part of holidays: COOKIES!!!
At least we broke into the 30’s!!!
Wow! I’m still the next commenter.
Hopefully it’s just because it’s the holidays and no ones really commenting or watching their blogs lately. Who knows?
When you get to comment 600 everyone will be out there!!! Haha.
What did you get for Christmas? Anything you really wanted or asked for? Any surprises?
Me? I got a whole bunch of baby stuff (woohoo!) and pearls. A new video camera. Some more lenses for my big camera. I was pleasantly surprised 🙂
Well it’s late enough for me now so I’m going to bed, will check in and see where everyone’s at tomorrow!!!
My Sis in Law is expecting her first. Would LOVE to give this to her. Thanks for the chance.

Where are all the commenters? Still searching for a doula in training in south Florida. Let me know if you have any success with it.
Love your blog! I am due June 15 2010 with my first too! Congrats! 🙂
I would love to win this for my friend!
Cheers,
Patricia

I don’t need a planner since I already have one, but I’ll help you get closer to #625! 🙂
I read somewhere that drinking lots of water through your pregnancy helps prevent stretch marks. Not sure if that is true but I did it and my belly and most other parts of my body is stretch mark free at 7 months.
I would sooooo love this! I’m pregnant with my first (March 25/10) and need to keep organized. 🙂
I would love to give this to my BFF who just found out she is expecting and freaking out!! Maybe this would help her feel more in control! haha!
Cassandra@aubut.net
Love the checklist 🙂

I LOVE checklists – always helpful!
Awesome! Sounds perfect for the first time Mom’s!!

I like that it has the who to call list for after the baby is born. I’m not sure why, but I never thought about that? Especially if my honey would be making the calls! lol
I’m a follower of @BountyBug on Twitter! @thehoneyb
I love that you can rearrange things. I’m an organizational freak!
Oh, I also follow you on twitter!
My favorite feature is the Pediatrician questions. I have no idea where to begin! Plus, if they aren’t written down, I’ll forget them anyway!
I am a follower of your blog.
My pregnancy tip: if your hips are really sore, a good yoga stretch is to do a deep squat while holding wrists with a partner who is also doing a deep squat. It feels so good!
My tip is, cherish them while they are young, they grow up way to quick and then you are left wishing they were babies again =( My husband and I are back and forth to fertility Dr’s now in hopes of adding a sibling very soon. All these Dr’s appointments get confusing and trying to remember to take all the meds and ask all the questions you had the past week seem to run my life lately, but in the end it will all be worth it =)
Wow that planner is so cool! I am prego with my third. I have a 3 year old and a 20 month old and have 4 months to go…seems like forever!
I’ve heard that the syrup from canned peaches is good for morning sickness. I heard it from a woman who had 9 kids, so she’s a decently reliable source right??
And I tweeted again today! @thehoneyb
I hope I’m doing this right, the rules confused me…probably because giving up coffee was part of my Baby Bucket List…lol
i LOVE all the check lists that the planner has!!!!!!!!!
