The mind has so much power over how we feel. What if we could prepare our minds for birth by repeating positive affirmations each day? I believe it helps tremendously! I made these affirmation cards in my 4th pregnancy because in my 3rd trimester, I started to feel pretty scared about giving birth again. My 3rd birth still felt fresh in my mind (unassisted homebirth) and I really started to feel scared.
I knew I needed to start training my mind for the big day and these affirmation cards made all the difference. I was able to read through them each night while smelling essential oils and I started to feel so relaxed and prepared for birth.
The birth of our 4th baby didn’t go as planned, it was a homebirth turned emergency c-section, but I don’t think it hurt to prepare this way and dream of the birth I wanted. If anything, it helped me know that I did everything I could have done to get the birth I wanted, and the emergency was out of my hands. I still felt very calm and peaceful during my emergency c-section.
Check out the affirmation cards below and pick your favorites! Print them all if you’d like and read them each night. Use cardstock paper if possible so they last or even laminate them if you want! These would look beautiful in your birthing space as well, if you want to hang them on a string with clothes pins or display them another way.
ENJOY!
note: cards are meant to be printed 2 per page at 5 x 7 size- you may need to download first and adjust depending on your computer and printer,
I hope you enjoy your birth affirmation cards. This would be a great idea as a baby shower gift!
I would love it if you followed me on my youtube channel and instagram! Go check it out!
