Woman in labor
No matter what birthing method you opt for, the power of positive thought can help your body respond comfortably and confidently during the labor process. Focusing on positive statements or birth affirmations can program your subconscious to tune into the strength and resiliency you need while giving birth.

Just as positive thoughts can help improve your birthing experience, negative ones could prolong labor.1 Instead of focusing on pain, control, and safety issues, concentrating on positive birthing affirmations can help remove emotional blocks so labor can progress. Here is a list of 12 positive birth affirmations to incorporate into your birth plan.

  1. I let my body and my baby set the pace.
  2. I quiet my mind and let my body give birth.
  3. I feel confident. I feel safe. I feel secure.
  4. I relax and my baby relaxes with me.
  5. My baby will fit.
  6. I look forward to giving birth.
  7. I trust my instincts.
  8. I am prepared to meet whatever turn my birthing plan takes.
  9. I can’t stop the waves, but I can learn to surf.
  10. With each deep breath, I feel better and better.
  11. I am a force to be reckoned with.
  12. Bring. It. On!
