How Using Affirmations in Pregnancy Can Keep You Calm and Centered

Dalene Barton - Certified Herbalist, Birth Doula
July 26, 2021
Reviewed by Christine Traxler, MD

Every mother has times she feels scared or has doubts in her pregnancy. This is completely normal. Thoughts may race through your head….am I going to be a good mother? Am I eating the right foods? I can’t labor, my body isn’t ready or capable… You get the picture. I want to let you in on a great way to help you manage those emotions and doubts, in order to create a truly amazing connection to and strong belief in your body, your baby and your partner – positive affirmations.

What is an affirmation, you say? Simply put, an affirmation is a declaration that something is true. When a person repeats positive affirmations daily, over time, they can be referred to as a practice or daily prayer with intention of a positive outcome. Affirmations can help to lessen fears and anxiety by shifting negative thoughts to positive ones.

The way you think about yourself, your body, and your developing pregnancy have an impact on you, your relationships, your partner, and your baby. Your baby can feel what you are feeling. This is why it is so important to make positive affirmations part of your daily pregnancy routine.

When fears creep in, take a small amount of time, just a long moment to center yourself, take a few calm breaths and say an affirmation out loud, repeating it up to 3 times. Allow the affirmation to soak into your entire being. Become the affirmation. You are an amazing woman, meant to be the mother of the child in your womb.

A Note for Fathers
Even though the mother is the one carrying the child, it does not mean she is alone in having doubts or strong emotions about becoming a parent. The husband or partner feels anxiety, worry and doubt as well. I have included affirmations for the husband/partner as well. It is important for the mother’s partner to be involved, to grow in this experience and to be there for their partner and child. Whenever possible, it is best for a child to have both parents.

Make Positive Affirmations Part of Your Routine

I like to keep affirmations in my bathroom next to my mirror, on the refrigerator or office wall, somewhere you will look at them often each day. You can write your own or copy the ones below. The only requirements are that you not use any negative words. Words such as can’t, someday, no, won’t, not, etc. should not be part of your affirmation vocabulary. To learn the creative steps to creating really powerful positive affirmations, read our article here…

To make an impact on your health, you will need to first learn the actions and steps to take... then you will need to be consistent with those actions. It is the consistency that brings you the results. You are going to be human and not be perfect 100% of the time. Just accept that and get back to it. Consistency, day in and out, is more important than being perfect. You can't be 100% perfect for long, but you can be consistent every day.

If you’ve undergone many consecutive fertility treatments without a successful pregnancy, it could be time for a break. Taking a break gives your body a chance to cleanse, reset and recover. Relief from the side effects and stress could be exactly what you need for a fresh start for your fertility journey.

Use the time to work on yourself- mind and body. A break might even give you the opportunity to find a new sense of peace or a new version of your fertility program.

I knew what my life's calling was at a very young age. At around 16, I had a dream where a dreadlocked rasta man came to me (Burning Spears to be exact) and in that dream was told that I was to be a healer. It was the type of dream that was more real than reality. The next day I woke up feeling different than I had ever felt before. Later on that day, we had new neighbors move into the house above us and a woman came and introduced herself. When I opened the door, she said her name and told me she was opening up a school of healing and that I was to be one of her students. It was one of the most intense series of events in my life. I went on to go to her school and my path started with an amazing community and so much support. What are one of the most life changing experiences you have had? I would love to hear...

Stress can be one of the primary factors behind infertility. Believe it or not, our bodies are equipped to prevent conception from occurring during times of extreme stress. The presence of adrenaline, the hormone that is released by our bodies during stressful times, signals to our body that conditions are not ideal for conception. Adrenaline inhibits us from utilizing the hormone progesterone, which is essential for fertility. It also causes the pituitary gland to release higher levels of prolactin, which also causes infertility to occur.
