Back when I was pregnant, I memorized a few birth affirmations that resonated with me.

I printed out this list, taped it next to my bed, and read them  in bed as I would fall asleep.

Eventually, I highlighted a few of my favorites, and focused just on those.

When I was laboring with my first baby, I recalled my favorite affirmations and they became my birth mantra.

What will your birth mantra be?
