Affirmations
for Labor and Birth
Childbirth is a
normal, healthy event
I embrace the concept of healthy pain
I am taking care of myself
I have an attitude of acceptance about my labor
I trust myself in this process, I trust the process of birth
I can have a healthy, positive birth
The power of birth strengthens me, (my partner), my baby
I am able to make the best possible choices in this experience
I can handle the challenges of labor and birth
I am calm and
relaxed, every part of me is limp and loose
My baby shares my calmness and confidence
I am able to rest deeply between contractions
I greet each contraction with openness and expansion
My breathing is slow and even
With each breath I breathe in calm and I breathe out tension
With each breath I breathe in confidence and I breathe out fear
I welcome each contraction with my breath.
Every
contraction brings me closer to the birth of my baby
My cervix is opening, like a flower
My pelvis is flexible and open
My muscles are warm, heavy, and
totally relaxed
