20 POWERFUL MANTRAS for At-Home Birth

 

As a mother, I find home birth as such an incredibly powerful blessing. It exists as the original way mothers have given birth for centuries. In this century, I personally look up to the women that choose home birth as their way to bring life into this world.

When I was pregnant with my first child, homebirth, doulas, or even birth classes weren’t even on my radar. I wish someone had told me that it was an option. I wish that I had someone in my corner affirming the power within my body.

Please know that whether you choose a homebirth, an unmedicated hospital birth, a hospital birth with pain management, or a surgical birth for any reason, I believe in you! However you choose to birth, you are BRAVE. What is important is that you know you have a choice, you have the tools to make the choice, and that you are satisfied with the choice.

 
 

For however you have made this choice, here are 20 mantras to affirm that you are STRONG, CAPABLE, and BRAVE.

 

I AM doing this.

I am strong.

I am working to meet my baby.

I am connected to my baby.

I am stronger than pain the comes from within me.

My body was made for this.

I trust my body.

I am safe.

I am surrounded by love and support.

I am home.

Women all over the world are birthing with me.

I am capable of becoming a mother.

I am birthing a mother.

Our family is emerging.

Mama-to-be, you can do this. This Wisconsin mom is rooting for you!
