110 Positive Birth Affirmations for Labor (Free Printable)

Last Updated on October 4, 2023 by Avi Steen

As you embark on the incredible journey of motherhood, I want to share something special with you. I’m a Christian mom of three, and today, I’m here share with you the power of positive birth affirmations and how they can be a game-changer during labor.

But before we dive into the world of affirmations, let me introduce myself and share a little bit about my natural birth experiences. 

With my first child, my labor was swift—just 3.5 hours from the time my water broke until she was born, and I didn’t experience any painful contractions before her arrival. My second birth was equally fast—my water broke, and within 14 minutes, my baby girl was in my arms. 

And with my third child, I faced a week of prodromal labor mostly at night, but when true labor came, it was a mere 1.5 hours of laboring before my little boy joined our family. Throughout all three births, I held onto my faith in God, which played a significant role in each of these supernatural and beautiful birthing experiences.

All were natural without epidural in a hospital room with my favorite support person: my husband. As a first time mom, my first birth definitely felt like a fluke but God does great things for those who continue to seek Him for a positive birth experience!

The Power of Birth Affirmations

Now, let’s talk about positive birth affirmations—these little statements have been a powerful tool for me during my birthing experiences. They’re like a dose of positivity and strength that you can carry with you throughout your pregnancy journey and into the birthing process. 

Whether you’re a first-time mom or a seasoned pro, positive affirmations can make a huge difference in your perception of pain, mindset, and overall birthing experience.

So, in this blog post, I want to share with you 110 positive birth affirmations designed specifically for Christian moms like you. Along with these positive words, we’ll incorporate scripture to remind you of God’s unwavering love and support as you approach the big day.

Preparing for Labor: Finding Strength

As you journey through the third trimester, it’s essential to prepare not just physically but also emotionally and spiritually for the birth of your little one. One of the most valuable assets you can rely on during labor is finding strength in the Lord. 

As a Christian mom, I’ve learned that turning to our faith in God can be a powerful source of strength and courage as we approach childbirth. Positive birth affirmations, along with scripture, can be an incredible way to strengthen your birth plan. 

Remember, God has designed your body for this very purpose—bringing new life into the world—and you are more than capable of embracing the birthing process with confidence. You can do hard things sis!

I encourage you to lean on your faith during this time. Meditate on God’s promises, and immerse yourself in His word. Here are a few scripture verses that have brought me comfort and courage during my own birth process:

1. Philippians 4:13 (NIV) – “I can do all this through him who gives me strength.”

2. Psalm 28:7 (NIV) – “The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.”

3. Psalm 46:5 (NIV) – “God is within her; she will not fall.”

4. Isaiah 41:10 (NIV) – “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

5. 2 Timothy 1:7 (NIV) – “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love, and self-discipline.”

Reflection

As you reflect on these verses, let them fill your heart with the assurance that you are not alone, and you have the strength to face whatever comes your way. Keep these positive statements close to your heart, and when the day of labor arrives, let them be a guiding light that shines through any darkness or doubt.

Positive thinking and a positive birth environment can play a significant role in how you experience labor pain and the birthing process. When you believe in yourself and trust in the natural power of your body, you open the door to a more peaceful and joyful birth.

Surround yourself with support, lean on your faith, and let the anticipation of birth be a time of excitement, joy, and empowerment. Together, we’ll prepare for a birthing experience that is not just positive but truly amazing!
