You’re looking forward to a beautiful new life while experiencing waves of worry, maybe even moments of fear. You’re not alone.
The journey of giving birth is deep and wide and the depth may feel insurmountable at times. Hypnobirthing affirmations are your rock, your calm and your hope, all designed to take you closer to a positive, empowering birthing journey.
Why Hypnobirthing?
Hypnobirthing is not about having control over everything that happens. Rather, you are creating a mind space where you can feel calm and focused and confident.
These positive affirmations offer an expectant mum a nice way to imagine a calm birthing experience, feel and relax, stress is much less. Statements like, “My body is capable and strong,” “I love and accept my birthing journey,” and “I trust in the process of birth,” help promote a mental attitude that supports emotional strength.

In the end, is there anything more powerful than words — especially when they’re repeated with conviction — since they can quite literally make our beliefs, and therefore our experiences, for us?

What is the Philosophy of Hypnobirthing?
The philosophy of hypnobirthing is centered around trust—trusting your body, trusting your baby, and trusting the process of birth. It’s premised on the idea that childbirth doesn’t have to be a source of fear. Instead, it can be a serene, empowering one.
Hypnobirthing is not so much a set of techniques as it is a way of thinking. It sends a message that birth is instinctual and you are made to do this job using your body.
Instead of struggling against pain, hypnobirthing offers the invitation to welcome every sensation as a necessary step in bringing your baby into the world. The philosophy encourages a gentle, compassionate birth, where you feel in control, supported and most importantly, connected to your baby.
In hypnobirthing, the idea is teaching women to release fear and tension by practicing breathing, relaxation, visualization and affirmation. And working together, they enable you to remain centered — even when faced with difficulty.
