Journaling prompts for pregnancy and early motherhood
One poem. Three journaling prompts. Space for reflection.
This edition of the Looking Closer Series centres on With Child by Genevieve Taggard — a poem she wrote around the time of her own pregnancy, first published in 1921.
You don't need to know anything about poetry to use this prompt pack. You only need to be a mother in the earliest season — pregnant, newly arrived, or somewhere in between — with a desire to sit close with your experience.
Read the poem slowly, more than once if you can, and let the prompts take you from there.
