Being relaxed and feeling safe is important when labouring and birthing your baby. It increases the flow of oxytocin which helps improve uterine contractions and a surge when your baby is born helps you to bond with your baby.

Every thought you think and every word you say is an affirmation of a belief. All of our inner self-talk are affirmations or mantras.

Do you want to believe feel confident and positive about your upcoming labour and birth? Why not fill your mind with positive thoughts about it?
