Pregnancy journal
A pregnancy photo journal where the story starts before the birth announcement.
The first ultrasound. The bump at week 20. The voice memo of the heartbeat you played on repeat. Our Pear Tree gives all of it a home, weeks before your baby has a birthday.
Anchored on your due date
One date to start, and it labels every week for you.
When you begin, we ask for one thing: when your baby is expected. That is it. No last-period questionnaire, no charting cycles, nothing that feels like a clinic form. From that single due date, every memory you add files itself to the right pregnancy week, on its own.
A bump photo drops onto “Week 24.” The scan from the anatomy appointment sits at “Week 20.” A note you wrote your future kid at 2am, the night you finally settled on the name, each one carries the week it happened. Take one bump photo a week from the same doorway and you have a flip-book of the whole nine months without ever building one.
- Weekly bump photos, labeled by pregnancy week automatically
- Ultrasound scans, filed to the week of the appointment
- Voice memos, the heartbeat at the visit, a message for them to hear one day
- Written notes to your future child, kept in order
Already have early bump photos scattered across your phone? You can bring them in and our import keeps each photo’s original date, so week 12 lands on week 12 instead of the day you uploaded it.
The part baby-book apps miss
When the baby comes, the story keeps going.
Most baby books begin at the birth, at day zero, as if the pregnancy were a separate chapter in a separate book. On Our Pear Tree, when your baby arrives the same thread simply continues. Week 39 is followed by Born, and then by 3 days old, on one unbroken timeline. From that day the same memories start carrying an age instead of a week, the way our baby age tracker does it, so nothing resets and nothing is left behind.
The people you choose can follow along
Pregnancy is private until you decide otherwise. Keep the journal to yourself, invite a partner to add their own bump photos and notes, or bring in the grandparents to follow along quietly. Everything is invite-only, with no public feed and no way for a stranger to find you or your baby.
Questions
What parents ask about the pregnancy journal.
What happens after the baby is born?
The same timeline simply keeps going. Week 39 is followed by Born, and then by 3 days old, all on one unbroken thread. Most baby-book apps start at day zero, as if the nine months before were a separate life. Here the pregnancy and the childhood are one story, not two apps you stitch together later. See the one-timeline idea.
Can my partner add memories too?
Yes. Invite a partner and they can add their own bump photos, notes, and voice memos to the same journal. You can also bring in grandparents to follow along quietly. Everything stays invite-only, with no public feed and no way for a stranger to find you. How family follows along.
Do I need to track my cycle or any medical details?
No. We ask for one thing when you begin: the date your baby is expected. From that single due date, every memory files itself to the right week. There is no last-period questionnaire and nothing clinical to fill in. It is a keepsake, kept warm on purpose.
What if I experience a pregnancy loss?
We are so sorry. Your timeline stays entirely yours, to keep private, to pause, or to export and delete completely, whenever you are ready, and the gentle weekly prompts hold back for a while so nothing cheerful arrives to reopen a wound.
