birthing affirmations

With two babies already here, I thought I'd better get my birthing affirmations in order! I've collected these from all over, and made up little cards on a ring and check them when I'm feeling low or anxious. I've never used them during labor, actually, but I like to bring them along to labor for DH to read. Makes him feel better! Anyway, here are my favorite birthing affirmations, and I hope if anyone has others they will share them ... my affirmation ring gorws larger with each birth ...
