I would recommend picking out 10-20 of the labor affirmations that resonate best with you. Practice repeating them to yourself in the mirror, in the tub, or as you fall asleep each night to prepare for your big day.

In fact, if you like these affirmations, I created some minimalistic, printable cards for only $5. You can print them from home (I recommend using cardstock for durability) and use them as bookmarks, tape them to your mirror, and bring them to your labor room for your birthing partner to read aloud to you. You can get them here!

Remember, birth affirmations are not just words; they are powerful tools that help you tap into your inner strength and connect with the transformative journey of childbirth. Embrace them, believe in yourself, and prepare for a positive and empowering birth experience.

You got this, mama.
