A Set of 12 Positive Birthing Affirmations

November 11, 2021

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!

Affirmations for Your Partner

Positive birth affirmations aren’t just for moms. Several things can go through a partner’s mind during labor: Is she in pain? Will the baby be healthy? Is the nursery ready? Will I be a good parent? Positive birth affirmations can help empower partners to appreciate what’s taking place and to be a present source of support. Here are 12 positive birth affirmations for spouses and partners.

  1. I set all fears aside as I prepare to support my family.

  3. I am fully present in each moment.
  4. My role in the birthing process is valuable and irreplaceable.
  5. My partner and I are the world’s best team.
  6. My partner, I, and our baby are doing this together.
  7. I have all the knowledge and skills I need to support my partner as she gives birth.
  8. My job is to guide, protect, and be watchful and patient.
  9. Together my partner and I can handle anything that comes our way.
