Review of The Dodo Book of the Big Bump

I received this product from: Dodopad

9½" x 8" (240 x 200mm), laminated ring binder with 100 pages, 12 pockets/dividers, pregnancy diary and a strong elastic bandeau to hold everything neatly inside.

I really Love mine!! I write everything and more in it daily, from baby names that I have been thinking about, how I am going to treat myself to in pregnancy... to my thoughts on how to decorate the childrens room. There are is a pregnancy planner, so I have wrote appointments I need to go to and then how they went. I really don't think I would be without mine now :) It is also something I can pull out when my baby is teenage to show them how icky they made me feel and how I couldn't eat my favourite things hehe (not even hot chocolate!!) I think I am also going to use mine as a sort of scrap book for ideas too, by sticking in pictures of things I am interested in or want.

Whilst doing this review there was a question of something I was unsure of so I contacted the company on twitter Lord_dodo, I was contacted by a really lovely lady called Rebecca who even rang me to make sure she understood my query!! I am very Impressed by the service and the answer to my question was: Yes you can buy spare paper for the bump book, and no you cannot buy spare seperators but seriously I don't think you would need an extra one everything has pretty much been accounted for. It was just a question so I could tell you guys :)

The Bump book is seperated into categorys, I think everything is covered I cannot think about one that would be needed, could you?

These are pockets in the Seperators Which is perfectly sized for your Folded Pregnancy notes, amongst lots of other things!!

On the seperators there are Illustrated humourous quotes, I have to say my favourite is on childcare 'People who say they sleep like a baby usually don't have one. Leo J Burke

There are 2 Types of paper in this book, one I have already mentioned which is the Pregnancy Planner paper the other is squared paper with a cute dodo picture in the corner, I will be using the squared paper to help scrap book my ideas aswell as any lists and anything else I have in my head at the time lol, In the Planner paper I insert my feelings and emotions and also all the dates/appointments I need to remember.

My Only Con with this product is that there wasn't a holder for my pen.

I would and have recommend this to my pregnant friends, it is a fantastic organiser and keepsake for the future, and if you aren't pregnant but looking for a present for a pregnant friend.. I would highly recommend
