Free Printable Pregnancy Calendars: A Helpful Aid to Capture Memories

Finding out that you are pregnant is one of the most memorable moments in a woman's life. I know that I will always remember the events surrounding the day I found out I was pregnant and I fondly cherish the feeling of excitement in those nine months leading up to the delivery. Free printable pregnancy calendars are helpful when you're not sure what to expect.

There are many Web sites you can use to track your pregnancy and keep up with the progress of how your baby is developing. It's so nice to be able to know which week the hand and feet can open and close or when your baby will have developed its heart.

There are a few Web sites which have free printable pregnancy calendars. These calendars can be printed out monthly and there is a pregnancy tip each day in the month.

Justmommies.com

A great place to look for your free printable pregnancy calendar is Justmommies.com. (www.justmommies.com/printable-pregnancy-calendar.php). This site has the most efficient format. You can print out the entire nine months of the calendar at one time. Just type in your due date in the "printable calendar" section toward the bottom of the page and press submit. The months are labeled "Month One", "Month Twp", etc.

An example of one of the great tips falls on the first day of Month Two. The tip is; "Baby is approximately 1 mm long". Each day of the week tells how many days you have been pregnant and it also shows how many weeks/ days you have come along in your pregnancy (example for the first day of month two is Day 29 and 4 weeks, 1 day). No membership is required to be able to print the calendar.

Babyzone.com

Babyzone.com has another version of a free printable pregnancy calendar. You can go to www.babyzone.com and click on "Pregnancy Calendar" on the left hand side of the page. In order to be able to download this calendar, you have to sign up to become a member of the site. Membership is free.

This calendar shows how many days you have been pregnant and how many days are left in your pregnancy, according to the due date you submitted. This calendar is printable but if you view it online, each day has a link to a page with more information.

For example, day 75's note in the calendar is, "Decide if cord blood banking is right for you". If you click on the tip, you will land on a Babyzone.com article titled, "Considering Cord Blood Preservation for Your Baby". This site's calendar is useful both online and offline.

WebMD

Free printable pregnancy calendars are one of the many offerings on the health site WebMD. To print your calendar, go to the site. The actual html address is: www.webmd.com/medcial_information/health_tools/interactive/preg_calendar.htm. To download the free calendar, you have to sign up to become a member. Membership is free and you can use an email address other than your primary one (one that you use to receive your junk email). Once you are logged in, you just submit your due date and the calendar is created.

This calendar only tells you the number of weeks and days you have progressed in your pregnancy, not the day number. The months are labeled as regular calendar months. For the 12th week, 0 day, the tip is "Your morning sickness and fatigue may be fading, but you may start to notice stretch marks and dark patches".

From that entry, if you are viewing the calendar online, you can link to a WebMD article about skincare during pregnancy. Even if you printout the calendar, you can see the daily tips and keep up with your baby's developments in the womb.
