Description

In this episode we're giving you some powerful affirmations to help you prepare for your pregnancy and home birth. We have 2 affirmations for moms and 2 for dads.
We’ve talked a lot about affirmations on the show at different points in time - a little bit in our story and then in the stories of other moms, so we thought we’d create some of our own for you beautiful listeners!
I thought it would be fun to have some for both pregnancy and the birthing process. And not just for mamas - for the dads too!
This episode is a little shorter, but all the more sweeter. We both share our affirmations and a little bit on why we chose them and how they can contribute to a powerful and peaceful mindset and experience of your home birth.
We hope these affirmations serve you well or even inspire you to come up with your own!
Here are the affirmations for you to copy and use or share with others:
 
For Pregnancy
Sarah: I am fully connected to my body and my baby’s needs
Matthew: I anticipate our upcoming birth with joy and peace in my heart. It will unfold exactly as it should.
 
For Birth
Sarah: I am powerful, peaceful and fully supported as I give birth.
Matthew: I am strong. I am capable. I am intuitive. I am compassionate. I am patient. I am a parent.

Show notes:
The blog post Matthew drew inspiration for his affirmations from: Birth Affirmations for Expectant Dads and Partners

Doing It At Home is a weekly podcast about home birth and our decision to go from a traditional hospital birth with an OBGYN to a natural birth at home with midwives. This is a raw and honest show that explores homebirth from every angle. We talk about the fears and judgements thrown at you when you choose home birth. We share resources that we found tremendously helpful for understanding our birthing options. We confess the magic and craziness in preparing for pregnancy, home birth, motherhood and fatherhood. We talk about having sex while pregnant and maintaining your connection and intimacy as a couple. We reveal how to stay centered and not lose yourself through pregnancy, and tons more! This show is all about adding an empowered conversation to the topic of home birth and natural birth, while keeping it real, grounded and fun. So strap in and join us as we’re doing it at home!
