I will have a strong and healthy baby

I trust my body to know how to birth this child

I trust my instincts to know what I need in labour

I trust my instincts to do what is best for my baby

I am a strong and capable woman

My body knows how to birth my baby

I trust my instincts

Babies are born when they are ready, not when doctors, midwives or anyone decides.

My body is indeed beautifully and wonderfully made

It’s good for me to take care of myself.

I have to be truthful with myself

Listen to my body and heart

I deserve to have the birth I desire

I trust my body

I trust my pain

I trust my labour

I trust in my baby

I am a strong and capable woman

I am a powerful, loving and creative being

I am now willing to experience all my feelings

My pelvis releases and opens as have those of countless women before me

I accept myself completely here and now

I now feel inner peace and serenity

I accept this labour as my labour and believe it is the right one for me and for my baby

I love and accept my body completely

I accept all my feelings as part of myself

I feel the love of others around me

My baby knows all is well

My heart knows what my baby needs, my mind is learning

I am a powerful, loving and creative being

I accept myself completely here and now

I now feel inner peace and serenity

I accept all my feelings as part of myself

Good strong contractions help my baby come into the world

I embrace the concept of healthy pain

I have enough love to go around, the universe always provides

I am strong, confident assured and assertive

My body contains all the knowledge necessary to give birth to my baby

My baby knows how and when to be born

Birth is a safe and wonderful experience

My baby will be born healthy and at the perfect time
