Understand your weaknesses & the areas you will really need comfort. Many times, women struggle with fear of the future when actually in labor… even if they were totally dead set on natural birth! This may look like “this is so difficult right now- I don’t think I can do this for longer” For me, I had the irrational thought I’d need a C-section, despite progressing well and knowing my body was actively pushing my baby out!

Root yourself in reality of what is happening in the current moments by centering your affirmations around conquering those fears!
