Pregnancy is a beautiful season that allows you and your loved ones to bond with the baby in your womb.
Settle into this moment that you are sharing between you and your baby by taking a cleansing breath. Breathe in. Breathe out.
If you'd like, place your hands on your belly and baby and allow this meditation to act as a conversation between you and your baby. We were made for each other. I am so grateful that you are mine. Although I am not perfect, I am the perfect mother for you. We make a good team. I am honored to be your mother.
From the moment you were conceived, you have been uniquely you. I love envisioning who you will be, who you will look like, and all the things that you will do. I love you no matter what. You are healthy. You are strong. You will be born healthily and safely.
My womb is the perfect home for you right now. We can trust this body to continue nourishing you till you're ready to be born, and then birth you safely, normally, and beautifully. I am nourishing my body and treating it with respect for my health and yours. I trust that you know when the best time to be born is.
I am patient as you grow. Each day is important for you to become stronger and ready for life outside my womb. I enjoy the kicks and punches I feel within my womb, even if they take me by surprise sometimes. I cherish this time I get to have you so close to me. This season will not happen twice.
While I enjoy this season, I am also so excited to meet you, to count your fingers and toes, to look into your eyes, to nurse you, to watch your family love and hold you. Until then, I am patient as you grow and develop so that you are ready to be born. I know that you will be born when you are ready.
I am learning how to confidently and positively give birth to you. I will make the best choices surrounding your birth so that we can have a positive and empowering birth story. I'm so glad that we get to do this together.
Now, spend a few moments together sharing with your baby what you most enjoy now about being pregnant with them. Tell them what you are most looking forward to after they are born. If you'd like, you can share with them the name that you've picked out for them and why it's special, or tell them the list of names that you can't quite decide from.
Sit quietly and listen to your baby. What does he or she want to tell you? Maybe they want to tell you that they feel so loved. They want to thank you for already caring so much for them. They want to tell you that they trust you, feel safe with you, and feel loved by you. You, your partner, and your baby are on this very exciting journey with one another.
As we end this meditation, let your baby hear your voice. You can sing them a song, read them a story, recite a poem, or simply say, "I love you."
