Affirmations for Pregnancy and Birth: Discussion & Banner Making Workshop / $45

The connection between positive thinking and the body is so important and strong during pregnancy, childbirth, and even postpartum. We are at our most open and vulnerable during this time, so it stands to reason that the thoughts that we and others introduce to our psyche can have a lasting effect.

This time period in someone’s life is often portrayed in popular culture as unpredictable, painful, and scary. Growing up, we tend to be told enough birth horror stories that by the time it’s our turn, we are so ingrained with the “what ifs” and negative expectations that these thoughts become our own emotional baggage. Using affirmations helps to shift these thoughts allowing you to readjust the way you think about and approach this time of life.

Re-framing the way that we look at childbirth and the time surrounding it, is one of the best gifts that we can give ourselves. This is an opportunity to move past preconceived notions about birth and to set aside fears and concerns through group discussion and creative expression and banner making.
