Pregnancy Week Tracker

Print a Week-by-Week Pregnancy Tracker and Keepsake

Forty weeks is a long time to keep in your head. This free printable pregnancy tracker gives every week its own card with dedicated space to jot the size of baby, the symptoms that week, any appointments, and a few personal notes. Print the full set and you end up with a paper journal of the whole pregnancy — useful at midwife appointments now, and a lovely keepsake later.

Export as a multi-page PDF in A4 or US Letter. The generator prints six weekly cards per page (three rows of two) so a full 40-week set is around seven pages. Pick the starting week if you are printing later than week one — no need to waste sheets on weeks already gone.

Why keep a paper pregnancy tracker?

Apps are fine for daily prompts, but they struggle as a keepsake. A printed pregnancy tracker gives you something tactile to hand to a midwife at appointments, show a partner on the sofa, or tuck into the baby book later. Use it for:

• tracking symptoms over weeks so patterns are visible
• noting appointments, scans and test dates in one place
• writing down the "fruit-size" comparison each week if you enjoy them
• keeping a weekly mood and energy journal
• saving as a pregnancy keepsake to go in the baby book
• sharing weekly notes with a partner who has been travelling
• supporting maternity leave planning and handover

This is a journal, not a medical record. Anything clinical belongs with your midwife team. The tracker sits alongside that record and captures the bits a medical chart does not — how you actually felt that week.

What you can customise

• Start week: pick the first week to print (1 to 10) so late-starters do not waste pages.
• Number of weeks: print the full 40 or any slice of it.
• Paper size: A4 or US Letter.
• Title field: personalise the cover or header text.

Each weekly card is laid out identically: week number, a size-of-baby line, a symptoms block, an appointments block, and a ruled notes strip. Consistent formatting makes the finished pack feel like a proper journal rather than a stack of loose sheets.

Worked example

Maya finds out she is pregnant at week six. She opens the generator, sets the starting week to 6 and the number of weeks to 35 (so it runs to week 40). The PDF downloads with six weekly cards per page, printing cleanly across about six A4 pages.

On the Week 6 card she writes "Size: a lentil", ticks the symptoms "nausea, tiredness", notes the booking-in appointment date, and in the notes strip writes "Told Dan on Saturday — he cried". Each week she spends five minutes filling in the next card. By week 20 she has a running journal she can take to the anomaly scan and flip through with a partner. By the end, she has a keepsake to keep in the baby's memory box.

Who the pregnancy tracker is for

Expectant parents

A gentle weekly ritual that captures the pregnancy without adding another app to the phone.

Midwives and antenatal teachers

Hand a printed pack to expectant parents as part of a welcome bundle. It doubles as a talking-point at each appointment.

Birth partners and supporting family

Keep the printed cards on the fridge so the whole household knows what week it is and what appointments are coming up.

Adoptive or surrogate-supporting families

The same weekly cards work for anyone tracking the 40-week journey alongside a birth parent, including family members who want to stay in sync.

How to use the generator

1. Pick your starting week (1 to 10).
2. Choose how many weeks to print (up to 40).
3. Select A4 or US Letter paper size.
4. Optionally write a title into the header.
5. Click Generate to preview the first page.
6. Download the multi-page PDF.
7. Print and staple, bind, or hole-punch the pack.
8. Fill in one card per week as the pregnancy progresses.

Methodology — what the template looks like

Each page holds six weekly cards laid out as a 3 × 2 grid. Every card carries the week number as a large heading, then a labelled "Size of baby" line, a short "Symptoms" block, an "Appointments" block, and a ruled "Notes" strip. Card widths are tuned so a biro or fine felt pen fills each block comfortably in a few seconds. With six cards per page, a 40-week run is approximately seven pages of output.

The pack is produced by the shared branded PDF template, so every card shares fonts, margins and footer with the other printables in the library. Bind it on the short edge and it sits flat in a keepsake box.

Tips for keeping the tracker going

• Decide on a fixed weekly moment — Sunday night, or straight after the midwife appointment.
• Keep the printed pack and a pen in the same place as your maternity notes.
• Photograph cards with bumps or scan pictures alongside for the baby book later.
• Skip a week if you miss it — the next card is right there waiting.
• At the end, bind the pages or slot them into a ring binder alongside scan photos.

Designed for A4 and US Letter printing

The pregnancy tracker prints cleanly on both A4 and US Letter. Each card scales to fill its six-up slot on either page size. Print at 100% scale and on slightly heavier paper if you want the pack to feel keepsake-quality.
