Birth Lines has developed the ultimate fill-in book in which you can record all the memorable moments and details from the positive pregnancy test to the child's first birthday.
Where you often buy a separate pregnancy, ultrasound, birth, maternity, first year and photo book, in 'The beginning of your life' everything is bundled in one large fill-in book.
"This is the book you reach for when you think about 'the old days'."
The fill-in book is professionally printed and features a luxurious linen cover with gold foil printed text on the front, spine and back. It is designed in a minimalist, gender neutral and timeless style . The use of high quality makes it a perfect gift and souvenir of this special time.
The book consists of 300 pages in which you record this period from the 'first person' , so that your child can read this contemporary document years later, as if you were reading it yourself.
UNIQUE DETAILS:
- The book's writing style makes it suitable for different family compositions
- Weekly pregnancy updates to note feelings at that moment and to paste a matching (belly) photo. Hand-drawn illustrations show what the baby looks like that week, short facts tell what developments the baby is going through that week and 'as big as..' comparisons tell how big the baby is at that moment.

Tips for Longevity
Tips for Longevity
To enjoy your memory book for many years to come, we've put together a few care tips:
- Store your book in a clean, dry place. Humidity can cause pages to warp, so it's best to keep the book indoors rather than in a damp shed or basement.
- Use a clean and dry surface when filling in your book, and wash your hands beforehand. This helps to avoid marks or smudges on both the cover and the inside pages.
- Be mindful of photo paper thickness. Although this book has a beautiful hardcover, it's not designed to be a traditional photo album. For the best results, avoid placing photos too close to the inner spine, choose smaller prints, and opt for the thinnest photo paper possible.
(Tip: The HP Sprocket mobile printer produces self-adhesive, thin photos that are ideal for our memory books.)
- To avoid ink bleeding through the pages, choose pens that dry quickly and have smooth, clean ink. Ballpoint pens work best—they write easily and reduce the risk of ink soaking through. If you want to be absolutely sure, we recommend testing your pen on a blank page first.
