I Am Blooming: Birth and Postpartum Affirmations

Birth and postpartum affirmations have the power to help you cope and give you subconscious strength. There are so many different words surrounding birth and parenthood. They don’t all have to be negative. Equip yourself with positive phrases that build your confidence and release fear. The words we tell ourselves can make a difference in our most vulnerable moments. Positive birth affirmations are an accessible tool that you can have in your labor and postpartum toolkit to remind you of your strength and capabilities.

I Am Blooming Affirmation Cards are a collection of 25 birth affirmations designed for birthing people and parents in postpartum. These affirmation cards feature hand-drawn illustrations and positive affirmations that were intuitively created. They are a distinct and thoughtful gift for yourself or for anyone you know who is a new parent or parent-to-be.

Birth affirmations don’t work unless you do!
