You’re living the life you wanted.
So why does it feel so hard?
That end-of-day scroll is a fake reset. Try five real minutes instead.
Gentle pregnancy prompts, your private online journaling space, and the Pour It Out Method™, you’ll reconnect without routines or rules.
Just space, on your terms.
You're not doing it wrong.
You're Busy And You're Human.
Between the pregnancy, caring for everyone else and the “never enough” loop in your head, your own voice has gotten quieter.
Traditional journaling told you to wake at dawn, track habits and write pages.
We don’t prescribe routines. You already have enough rules.
We simply give you a gentle guide and a private place to exhale.
Your Private Pregnancy Journal
Bond & Bloom gives you a private online space to journal and reflect this new role called motherhood. Log in from any device, anytime. You’ll receive thoughtful pregnancy prompts by email that teach you the Pour It Out Method™ step by step. Plus gentle reminders and ongoing guidance with an optional community when you want support.
The Pour It Out Method™
You need to pour it out before you can figure it out. 3 steps. 5 minutes. anywhere.
1. EXPRESS - Get it all out
Express meets you where you are. Capture what’s buzzing in your head so you can finally see it clearly.
2. RELEASE — Say what you really need to say
Voice memo in the car line, quick notes while dinner simmers, 2am whispers when the house is quiet.
3. REFLECT — Notice what matters
Look back and connect the dots. What’s loud? What’s lifting? What do you want to carry forward within your pregnancy?
Guided, not prescribed. Most journals tell you what to write. We help you find what you need to say.
The Difference Journaling Makes
- You stop second-guessing every decision.
- You start to feel like yourself again.
- You know what you need during pregnancy, what matters and what you’re ready to release.
- You trust your own voice and choices again.

01.
Prompts Land In Your Inbox
Questions like “What changes feel like the biggest adjustments, even if they’re positive ones?” or “How do you hold space for both excitement about what’s coming and sadness about what’s changing?” The prompts are centered around your pregnancy experience as a woman. This 16-day experience includes additional reflections and deep dives.

Who We Are
From One Mother Who Gets It
I Built This Because I Needed It Too
I’m Ophelia, a solo mum who’s been journaling for over three decades not as a ritual but as a release.
For years, I tried to journal the “right” way. The gratitude lists, perfect pages and consistent mornings.
But pregnancy and motherhood doesn’t run on clean schedules. It runs on love, interruptions and constant recalibration.
I created Bond & Bloom to give new mothers what I never had. A guided journaling space that’s made for real life, not ideal life.
The Pour It Out Method™ was born from those late-night moments within pregnancy between exhaustion and clarity.
A way to hear your own voice again, five minutes at a time.
Is This For You?
Yes, if you’re:
- A smart, capable new or soon to be mother who wants a private and judgment-free way to process your days.
- “Tired but wired” and ready for a real reset that takes minutes. Not hours.
- Looking for pregnancy support without another system to keep up with.
Maybe not right now, if you’re:
- Seeking a productivity tracker or baby milestone progress.
- Not ready to explore what your inner voice is asking for or ready to make your own choices
Your Questions Answered
How much time does it take?
As little as 5 minutes per prompt. When you have more time, take more.
Do I need to be creative?
No. Our pregnancy -specific prompts do the guiding. You simply respond.
Can I journal on my phone?
Yes. Log into your private online journal from any device. Prompts arrive by email. You can also write in your own note book or voice-note on your phone. Whatever suits the moment.
What if I miss a day (or a week)?
No guilt here. Your journal waits. Pick up where you are.
Is my writing private?
Yes. Your online journal is for your eyes only.
Can I download my journal entries?
Not currently, but your entries are saved securely in your private space for 12 months. If you need to delete your account and data, just email us at [email protected]
What happens after my 12-month access ends?
We’ll send you a reminder 30 days before your access expires and your entries are then deleted. You can copy your journal entries into your own document if you’d like to keep them permanently.
How It Works
What do I get when I purchase?
Immediate access to your private online journaling space and the Mothers Journaling Club. Your first guided prompt arrives within 24 hours. You’ll receive 8 email reflections with deep prompts (minimum 3 questions each) over 16 days.
How much does it cost?
$127 NZD one-time payment. Everything included – private journal space, all prompts, and community access.
How long do I have access?
12 months from purchase – plenty of time to complete the 16-day journey at your own pace and revisit your reflections throughout your pregnancy.
When do the prompts start?
Your first prompt arrives within 24 hours of purchase. After that, they arrive every 2 days over 16 days. Go at your own pace, when and where it suits you.
Can I start at any point in my pregnancy?
Yes. These prompts work at any stage of pregnancy.
Can I buy this as a gift?
Yes! We have gift vouchers available on our Gift Vouchers page. The recipient can start whenever they’re ready.
Mothers Journaling Club
What is the Mothers Journaling Club?
A private, judgment-free space for mothers on the same journey. You can be matched with a buddy for gentle check-ins during your 16 days, and share in our group forum if you’d like – or just read and witness. It’s optional, always.
How does the buddy matching work?
Within 48-72 hours of joining, we’ll reach out to see if you’d like a buddy. If yes, we’ll match you with another mum currently journaling (or with me, Ophelia, when the group is small). You’ll connect via private message for quick support during your journey – no pressure to chat daily.
Do I have to participate in the community?
Not at all. Some mothers prefer to journal completely privately and that’s perfectly fine. The community is there if you want it.
What happens to the community after the 16 days?
Your buddy connection is yours to keep if you both want that. The community space stays accessible during your 12-month journal access, though it’s most active during the 16-day journaling period. You’ll also join the Bond & Bloom Circle (our newsletter) for ongoing gentle support.
