Top 9 Childbirth Affirmations

Before I share my personal top 9 childbirth affirmations, I’d like to explain a little bit more about them.

What are affirmations?

Affirmations, aka positive affirmations, are phrases that you repeat to yourself over and over again to change your mindset. You can say them out loud our in your head. Receive them as part of treatment with your hypnotherapist or other therapist. Most commonly they help you to change a negative into a positive thought or negative into positive thinking.

Affirmations can help you feel more in control and empowered during your birth experience.

Affirmations can improve your ability to problem-solve and decision-making while under stress such as during labour and birth. Making the right decisions for you and your birth enables you to feel empowered while birthing your baby!

My top 9 affirmations for childbirth are:

Writing your childbirth affirmations

Remember, that our conscious and subconscious usually only process the key words. Words such as “don’t” or “no” get lost in the process. So rather than saying to yourself “I mustn’t forget to take my keys” say “I must REMEMBER to take my keys”. For example, if I ask you to NOT think about pink elephants, all you can do is think about just them, the pink elephants. The elephants in the room. So, when you are writing your affirmations for birth, remember to pick statements and trades that are true and important to you.

Now, you are all set up to write your affirmations!

I also have a hypnobirthing affirmation script (including recording) available from my shop. The script has room for your own affirmations and tick-boxes for the ones that you like!
