The journal is divided into four sections:
Each section starts with a colour title page, an inspiring quote and some words to guide your journalling experience for that section.
This journal is one that facilitates deep inner work, therapeutic self-reflection, and healing from within. It goes deep on many topics that commonly arise for women during pregnancy, such as addressing labour fears, the mother wound, and worries about motherhood. Journalling is a powerful practice that can help you clear your mind, lessen the intensity of uncomfortable emotions, and help you gain the clarity and insight that you need. There are also many questions that can be shared with your pregnancy and birth support team if you chose to, that can help ensure they are clear about your needs and wants.
The questions were specially formulated to help you work through, and let go of, what is no longer serving you in pregnancy. They are organised in a way that will empower you to grow and birth your baby with clarity and self-assurance. One of the aims of the journal is to help you feel less burdened by emotional pain or worries, and to feel lighter and more grounded in what you want and need during this time.

Journalling is a powerful and useful practice that is therapeutic and supportive for mental and emotional wellness. It gives you space for your thoughts and feelings to be heard, witnessed, and processed. Taking time to connect with yourself and reflect on all how you are feeling is a healthy practice that fosters positive feelings of lightness, clarity, confidence, and inner peace.
Not all pregnancy journals are the same though: most have blank pages or have questions that focus on the baby. Hopefully as you have seen above the Dear Me Mother-to-be journal is very different. It is one that allows not only for self-reflection but also deep inner work. You won’t have to worry about not knowing what to write as our journal is filled with prompt questions for you to answer.
As a woman about to cross the threshold and navigate one of the greatest transitions a woman can go through, there is a lot that may come up for you during this time.
Many women find that past wounds are re-activated during pregnancy or new things come to the surface that have never bothered them before. Many notice notice their thoughts and feelings change as their body and outer world changes too: which can be unsettling.
Having a tool or resource to help guide you as you process what is happening (rather than avoiding or suppressing) can make you feel supported and less overwhelmed.
At Dear Me Mother-to-be we believe in giving back and as a matrifocal-run business we want to embody our values in all aspects of our business. We want to actively get involved to do our bit to see real improvements to the maternity care system here in Australia.
We are pledging to give a percentage of proceeds from each journal sold to the Birthing on Country program. Your purchase will help us support this program to see improved birthing outcomes for First Nations women and babies.
The Birthing on Country (BOC) program was created and driven by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women to build a better future for First Australians. The South Coast Women’s Health and Welfare Aboriginal Corporation (Waminda), has partnered with the Molly Wardaguga Research Centre and the Australian College of Midwives, to create a service where Aboriginal women and their families can experience their pregnancy in a culturally safe and nurturing environment. Based in Nowra, NSW, Australia.
The latest development for the program (Feb 2024) has been their ability to secure land to build a free-standing birth centre and community hub, which is super exciting! If you want to learn more about their program visit their website.
I have loved everything about this pregnancy journal, I am now 31 weeks pregnant and have absolutely enjoyed my weekly check in through journaling. Love love love the beautiful/in depth question prompts (especially for pregnant minds) It felt easy & it bought so much enlightenment for the past & present. Every pregnant mumma needs this on their journey!!
This journal is such a thoughtful and beautifully designed companion for pregnancy and birth. It goes beyond a typical pregnancy journal—it’s a true self-discovery and reflection tool that helps you connect deeply with your journey. The prompts encourage mindfulness, self-awareness, and emotional processing, making it an invaluable resource for any mum-to-be.
As a Hypnobirthing practitioner, I see firsthand how important it is for women to feel calm, empowered, and in tune with their own experiences—this journal supports exactly that. It creates space to honour your emotions, celebrate your journey, and find clarity in your thoughts and feelings.
I highly recommend this to anyone looking to approach birth with confidence and self-trust. It’s more than just a keepsake—it’s a tool that truly nurtures the mind and heart.
As a doula, when I saw this I knew I had to gift this to a client.
This journal is beautiful, with such wonderful thought provoking prompts throughout.
This is exactly what I wish I'd had through my own pregnancies and needless to say my client loved it too!
I highly recommend this journal.
I will be purchasing again!
So thoughtfully prepared. The prompts are so well structured, ordered and really help you get in touch with your emotions, thoughts and beliefs around birth and motherhood. I love how you can self pace, and how the journal gently invites you to dive as deep (or not) as to what feels right and safe for you. Highly recommend as a resource for women to start exploring. Would make a great gift!
Perfect for all new mothers with reflective and inspiring prompts. I bought it as a gift and my friend loved it ✨❤️
