A pregnancy journal fails when the page is blank and the week was long. These forty prompts are the ones Zohra asks, one per weekly page — each answerable in a line, and worth a page if the week gave you one.
Take them with you — and keep it in whatever notebook you already trust. No sign-up between you and the questions.
Before this chapter turns, what would you like to say to the two of you as you are today?
How to use them
One line is enough. The prompts are written so that a tired sentence — where did strength and softness meet in your week? answered with “the nursery wall, and the phone call with mum” — reads back in ten years better than a dutiful paragraph written for an imagined audience.
In Zohra, the week’s question sits at the foot of its painted page, and what you write stays on the page it belonged to — the whole pregnancy reads back as a book. On paper, the same rule works: date the line, and keep it with its week.
The prompts are free to read and print, and they are not medical advice — they are questions. For the weeks themselves, every one has its own page.
