Giving birth is painful and the unknown is scary. There are some women who seem to breeze through giving birth, but in general, it is one of the most difficult things you will do but it is the most rewarding. As hard as it is, we do it over and over which in itself is proof that it’s doable and worth it.

Here are some free customizable and printable Birth Affirmations to encourage and help you stay positive every step of the way through childbirth.

One of the best ways to turn giving birth into a positive experience is to think positively. It isn’t always easy to think positively when you are in so much pain, but repeating positive birth affirmations is very helpful. Birth affirmations put you in a positive mindset. They make you trust yourself and your body and calm you down. When you feel fear and anxiety, you will feel the pain more than when you are relaxed and have trust in yourself and your body. Positive labor affirmations, if repeated enough, will help relax you and help you trust that you can get through this experience.

If you can read the birth mantras to yourself while taking deep breaths, then you will help yourself even more. Taking deep breaths is one of the most powerful things you can do to calm your body and your mind. Even though I last gave birth years ago, I still use deep breaths today to calm myself when I am stressed or feeling tense or anxious. It is one of the gifts I received from giving birth besides my amazing kids and realizing that I am capable of doing anything.

How to Make Birth Affirmation Cards

Create affirmation cards, wall hangings, banners, or digital cards that you can read on your phone.

1. Click on the button above to open the affirmation card maker.
2. Select the design that you want to use. There are 20 sample cards, but you can change the border on each page and you can edit each affirmation. For example, say you want to write “I am powerful” instead of the mantra on one of the cards. Go to the “edit text” box and type “I am powerful” instead of the existing text. You can make it bigger, or smaller, or change the font and the font color.
3. Read through the affirmations and edit if you prefer. If you like them as-is, then there is no need to edit them.
4. Download as an image or a PDF file.
5. Print on cardstock cards. Either print on a full-sized page (8.5″x11″) such as this one or on smaller-sized cards such as these: 5″x7″ or 4″x6″.  As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
