Top 50 Positive Affirmations For a Healthy and Peaceful Pregnancy

Pregnancy is a stressful period when you constantly worry about whether everything is going to be smooth for you or not. Many women fear the pain of child labor and complications during labor.

That is why the rate of cesarean C-section deliveries is getting so high. If you are also feeling worried in and about your pregnancy then chant affirmations as a mantra whenever you feel low or stressed and you will see the difference.

What Are Birthing Affirmations?

Birthing affirmations are sentences or statements especially designed to remove negative thoughts and instill a positive mindset regarding the birthing process. Generally, birthing affirmations are short in length so that you can easily remember and chant them before and during the process of labor.

These short and impactful birthing affirmations help to increase the confidence of the mother in her capability to endure labor pain. They will help to subdue your fear and help you stay calm and composed in the labor room.

It is scientifically proven that affirmations leave a positive impact on our mind because of neuroplasticity, our brain’s ability to adapt and change according to the situation.

Do Pregnancy Affirmations Work?

Yes, positive affirmations during pregnancy work magically to relieve your mind from stress and make you mentally strong. According to NCBI, self-affirmation reminds the person of some psychosocial resources which are beyond the specific threat or fear the person is facing at that moment.

As a result, it will allow you to focus on positive reinforcement rather than worrying about the negative consequences. In simple words, pregnancy affirmations will make you remember the happy moments of your life or the possible happy outcome that you will get if you surpass the fear of the present.

When you repeatedly say those positive words to yourself, the thought process of your brain changes too. When you hear the same words positive or negative your brain starts believing them and it creates a path of neurons. That is why it is said that “your words become your world”.
