Birth Affirmations

A collection of some of my favorite birth affirmations

While affirmations may sound silly, they have been proven to work as they work on your subconscious each time you repeat an affirmation. Many like to repeat these throughout their pregnancy, and hang them up in their birthing room as reminders during labor and birth.

A tip for partners: ask your birthing partner their favorite birth affirmations and remind them of those affirmations throughout the day. A good way to do this is to set a recurring daily reminder to text their favorite affirmations to your partner when you’re at work, just in case they haven’t done their daily birth affirmations, it’s a good, quick and loving way to remind them.

Here are some of my favorites:

• My body is amazing

• My body is beautiful

• My mind is calm, my body is relaxed

• I am capable and I am strong

• I feel confident, I feel safe, I feel secure, I feel loved

• Clear your mind, focus, and just breathe

• I can ride my surges like waves

• I trust my body, I trust my baby, I trust my birth

• All the strength I need is inside me

• My body and my baby know what to do

• We can do hard things

• I am one step closer to meeting my baby

• I put aside all fear as I prepare for the birth of my baby
