Mother's Health Section

Helpful Weight Chart
No matter what you weighed before becoming pregnant, you must eat properly now to support your body's increased needs and the needs of your developing baby. The amount of weight you should gain during your pregnancy will depend on how much you weighed before you became pregnant. Charts included in the Keepsake can help you to determine how much weight you should gain.

Prenatal Visits
Early and continuous prenatal care by a qualified health care provider is very important in having a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby. Prenatal care should by your 13th week of pregnancy and should include at least 13 visits during your pregnancy. With this section of the Health Keepsake, your prenatal health care visits and information are mapped out for you.

Childbirth Education Classes
There are several types of childbirth classes that teach different approaches to labor and delivery. Choose a method that works best for you. Most expectant parents are encouraged to begin classes during the seventh month of pregnancy. In this section you can keep track of your class days, times and the topic of discussion.

Baby's Health Section

Baby Firsts
The first part of the Baby's Health Section has a variety of pages to record your baby's firsts. Whether it is a first smile or your baby's first words, these firsts pages will help you track the progress of your baby's development.

Helpful Growth Charts
Each child grows at a different rate. At times, they will grow quickly and in other periods, a child's rate of growth will slow down. The Keepsake offers a place for you to keep track of your child's growth.

Record Well Child Care Visits
Your child should get "well baby" or "well child" visits with their health care providers at specific times during infancy, childhood and the teen years. Such visits allow your health care provider to prevent, diagnose and treat health problems as they come up. This section will help you keep track of your well child care visits along with thoughts and questions you may have.
