I believe I will love my baby into this world.  God will do the hard work.  I see my baby coming smoothly from my womb as God brings my child out.  Psalm 22:9 and Psalm 71:6 says that He brings babies out of the womb. Yay!

I believe in my God-given ability to give birth safely and easily.

I believe I’m deserving of, and will have a pain-free, supernatural birth.  If others can, so can I!

With God I am prepared to meet whatever turn my birthing takes.  There is no reason for fear, whatsoever. I do not need to worry about a breech birth, stillbirth, baby getting stuck, premature baby, or anything else.  God is greater than all of these things, and he can and will fix them – if needs be!  Praise his precious Name.

I put all fear aside as I prepare for the birth of my baby.

My mind is relaxed; my body is relaxed.

I feel confident; I feel safe; I feel secure.  Praise God for his all-encompassing love and sovereignty.

My muscles work in complete harmony to make birthing easier.  Praise God that I am fearfully and wonderfully made, so that this can happen. (Psalm 139:14)

I fully relax and turn my birthing over to my baby, my body, and my God. I have faith in their guidance, and will listen and follow their lead.

Baby, you are positioned perfectly for a smooth, easy birth.

Each God-given surge of my body brings my baby closer to me.

I welcome my baby with happiness and joy.

As my baby is born, my blood vessels close to the appropriate degree.

I believe I am not fighting this in any way.  This is God’s work.

I believe I am moving out of the way and allowing God to bless our family.

I am grateful for the word of God  and how it has changed the way I view childbirth. I challenge you to daily affirm your child and your body with these statements of truth and see if your view of birthing is not altered.
Blessings and Miracles,
Nicole
