What are affirmations?
In my book Read Me – I Am Magical: Open Me and I Will Reveal 12 Secrets to Love, Happiness & Personal Power. As You Leaf Through Me See How Remarkable You Feel
affirmations are words or phrases that are said over and over in order to affirm thoughts about our reality. Such affirmations help trigger the subconscious mind into action.
Why use affirmations during childbirth?
During our lives, we think and say things to – and about – ourselves over and over again. Through sustained repetition, these thoughts form beliefs that in turn become our reality. In this way, we develop fears about a host of issues. But we can also use the magic of affirmations to empower ourselves for the event of childbirth.
Examples of affirmations for birth:

- I relax as we move quickly and easily through each phase of birth.
- My cervix opens outward and allows my baby to ease down.

You can affirm whatever it is you desire and be sure that the universe will conspire to make it happen.
I feel like what birthing mothers need to do is just let go, relax and let nature do its work. Also recalling that every person in this world was birthed by a mother just like we will be doing, can help 🙂
