Pregnancy is a natural, normal, healthy and vibrant state
for my baby and me.

My baby and I are loved and supported.

It is safe for me to have my baby.

There is nothing to fear.

I am calm and relaxed. My baby feels my calmness and shares
it.

The baby and I are ready for our lives together to unfold.

The baby is naturally doing what he or she should.

The movements of my uterus are massaging and rocking my
baby.

The rhythm of my uterus as it expands and contracts brings
me closer to my baby.

The baby is descending naturally.

The baby’s head fits perfectly in my pelvis.

My vagina expands easily as my baby’s head crowns, and then
emerges into our hands.
