What's a birth affirmation and why do you need them?
Let's start out with the fact that I need to self compliment at least once a day...am I right ladies? There is nothing that brings more confidence than when you actually believe you are a smart-beautiful-clever-hilarious-takes no crap-woman!
And yet, we still occasionally criticize ourselves or forget to believe in our innate awesomeness.
How does this relate to birth?
Simple...
When you believe that you are a calm-joyful-patient-badass-birthing goddess, you BECOME a calm, joyful, patient, badass birthing goddess. During birth, your mind likes to try to take control, to tell you that this is too hard (cringe), that you can't do it, and kill me now because this pain is horrendous. You start letting that little nagging monster inside take the reigns.
Birth affirmations help to reset your brain to focus on how amazing you are, how beautiful birth is, and how strong your body is. Simply looking up and reading "I can do this" will help you to remember that you actually can and will.
I've been creating affirmations for each birth, customizing for each mamma and sometimes printing off free printable affirmations when I don't have the time to customize. But I finally took the time to create my own and I'm excited to share. I will probably be adding more and creating separate printables for Hypnobirths.
