Maternity Leave Planner & Baby Journal (Printable PDF AND Digital iPhone Version) Postpartum Self Care / New Mum Gift

✨ This gift is perfect for new or expecting mums about to enter or are in their maternity era - amongst all the baby presents, this beautiful planner is a little gift for them (or you!). This planner is a space for mums to not only capture their babies moments but also for them to capture the to do list, journal, reflect on their weeks and most importantly plan and live the maternity leave they truly want to live!

Maternity leave is beautiful… but it can also feel overwhelming, exhausting and surprisingly fast. You tell yourself you’ll write things down, make plans and remember every tiny milestone—but real life doesn’t always leave you with two hands free. Help them swap scrolling for gentle productivity, feel organised and make the plans to make the most of this special season.

This is a Instant Digital Download that includes two PDF’s; One version that can be printed and written on and another version that can be directly edited on iPhone’s using the free and inbuilt markup feature to add text. I designed the two as being a new mum myself, as much as I love writing my goals & plans on pen and paper, it wasn’t always practical with a small baby asleep on me or whilst breastfeeding!

♡ One of my favourite things about this planner…

Unlike a traditional notebook, you’re never limited to one use.

With the printable version, simply print a fresh copy whenever you’re ready for a new week.

With the iPhone version, save or screenshot the pages you’d like to keep, erase your edits and start again with a clean planner whenever you need a fresh start.

Just like motherhood…

Every week is a new beginning.

Keep the memories.

Let go of the guilt.

Turn the page and begin again.

🤍 A Little Note From Me

I know how easy it is to believe you’ll remember every sleepy cuddle, funny expression and tiny first.

But life gets busy.

The days feel long… yet somehow the weeks disappear.

I created this planner because I wanted something that reminded me to slow down, appreciate where I was and capture the moments that mattered before they slipped away.

I hope it does the same for you.

You don’t need a perfect maternity leave.

You don’t need perfect weeks.

You just need a little space that helps you remember what mattered.

Because one day, you’ll realise these ordinary days were actually the ones you’ll treasure most.

More than a planner, it’s a journal, memory keeper and gentle companion throughout maternity leave.

Thank you so much for supporting my small business. I truly hope this planner helps you make time matter.
