Pregnancy/Gestating Affirmations

I LOVE me some good affirmations.

I legit have at least one around my house at any given time (not including on my vision board).

Mindset is one of THE most important portions of preparing for your birth. You can read all the books, take all the classes, exercise and eat healthy the entire 9 months, but if you walk into your birth space with anything other than trust and a belief that you will accomplish giving birth, your body will fight you the entire way.

These affirmations will be specific to the 9 months of pregnancy/gestating (aka when you’re doing all the handwork of growing your baby. I’m also going to break it down by trimester as there are different affirmations for different portions of your journey.

These are not going to be all or the only affirmations you will find/use/create. Please feel free to leave comments and let me know if you came up with anymore you feel are valuable to others as well! I would love to hear them!

First Trimester:

  1. My baby is safe and healthy in my uterus/womb.

  2. I will not have morning sickness OR I will have a unicorn pregnancy (for all my fellow HG survivors 💪🏻).

  3. My baby will stick and stay.

  4. My baby knows exactly how to grow.

  5. I will announce there is new life growing in my body whenever I want.

affirmations should be what you feel you need

Affirmations aren’t one size fits all. What one person finds that resonates with them, may be something that could be completely useless to you. If there isn’t anything that resonates with you, create your own. There’s no right or wrong way to create an affirmation, other than it needing to be positive.

Positivity should be your only guidance, other than that, the world is your oyster. Too cheesy? Well I thought it was fitting 😂
