If birth feels really big and overwhelming right now, I want you to know that nothing has gone wrong. You’re not behind. You’re not failing at being calm.
It’s completely normal for excitement, fear, curiosity and uncertainty to all exist at the same time.
You don’t need to have all the answers today.
What does help is feeling supported, informed and safe. Emotionally AND physically. Birth feels less overwhelming when you understand what’s happening in your body and know how to stay calm through it.
One small thing you can try today…
Place one hand on your tummy, take one slow breath (in through your nose, out through your mouth) and remind yourself: I don’t have to do this all at once.
You are allowed to take birth preparation one gentle step at a time 🤍
✨ Save this for the days it feels heavy
✨ Share with someone who might need it
