A few weeks ago, I was feeling particularly anxious about giving birth. And honestly, every day that giving birth gets closer, I get a little more nervous. Of course, I’m excited to meet our sweet baby girl, but the whole idea of giving birth makes me really nervous. So I asked my friends on Instagram to share their favorite affirmations for labor and delivery with me. The ones they shared with me were so good, so I decided to type them up and share them with whoever may need them. I also made some graphics for each of them that you can screenshot and save or share.
Even though it's hard, birth doesn't last more than a day
