Possitive Affirmations for Labour & Birth

The power of the mind is incredible. I love that quote by Zoe Wild ‘The Mind is like a puppy. If you don’t train it, it shits everywhere.’

Positive affirmations are such a powerful tool. I used this one a lot throughout my pregnancy. Being a slight hypochondriac (i’m not the only one right??) and a bit of a worrier (again??) this positive mantra helped assure me that all was well. I was well and healthy. My baby was well and healthy. I offer affirmations in my classes and encourage students to create their own, something that feels authentic to them, in their tone of voice that they can repeat internally, digest and genuinely believe these truths. If you have any worries during your pregnancy, common fears about birth and labour, try taking that concern and turning it into a positive thought. Of course this applies to non-pregnant people too! Here are some of my favourites…. 

 ~ My baby & I are radiantly healthy.

~ My body knows how to birth my baby.

~ I am strong. My baby and I have got this. 

~ Birth is the most natural thing on earth. 

~ Every surge brings me closer to holding my baby. 

~ My body is softening and opening

~ My baby will come when he/she is ready

~ My baby knows how to be born

~ My baby fits my pelvis perfectly

~ My baby is in the perfect position to come to the world efficiently and smoothly.

~ Giving birth is natural and safe
