Pregnancy and Birth Affirmations for Natural Childbirth

Affirmations can be very helpful during pregnancy and labor. Below I have a list of affirmations that I have found very helpful. I used these affirmations throughout my whole pregnancy and labor with my second child. I am now currently pregnant with our third child and have been using these again so far. I wrote out these affirmations and had them in my birthing space in my home and used them quite a bit while I was in labor. One thing I really wanted to make sure I did with the affirmations was to not use any kind of negative words. So I have chosen to stay away from words like: can’t, won’t, not, fear, pain, contractions, or scared to name some. I have also chose to use the word “our” in front of the word baby rather than “my”. This is a personal preference as I like to incorporate my partner and daughter as much as possible through this special time. I believe they are just as much a part of it as I am. Feel free to use any of these affirmations in order to create a more positive journey through your sacred time!
