Birth Affirmation #4

Powerful strong contractions will  help my baby come into the world

Afraid of “the pain” associated with a natural birth?

Don’t look at contractions as pain but as work.

Just look at the definition of “labor” – Physical or mental exertion, especially when difficult or exhausting; work

Welcome each contraction and know it brings you one step closer to holding your baby.

Strong contractions are also good for your baby as they stimulate baby’s nervous system and prepare (s)he for life outside the womb.
