How is your breath in your body?

Deep, clear and steady? Shallow, jagged and frenetic? Something in between? Grounding yourself in the breath as well as an image of peace is a powerful way to come out the other side of a labor contraction.

This can be true regardless of the way in which your baby makes it into your arms (through cesarean or vaginally). In the months leading up to your transition into parenthood, practice getting to know your breath and your anchoring image of peace. Take 10 or 20 minutes of your day to pause, look inward and simply inhale and exhale.

Try this: place one hand on your belly and one hand on your chest as you inhale slowly from your nose for as long as it takes to fill your lungs and exhale slowly through an open mouth for as long as it takes to empty your lungs. Feel your belly expand out and your chest rise as you inhale and feel your belly deflate and your chest lower as your exhale. Keep your attention on the flow of your breath in and out of your lungs just as the ocean tide touches and then recedes from the shoreline. Hold that image as your inhale and exhale bring it to life.

To make this into a habit, practice taking this pause right before or after something you do everyday - brushing your teeth, eating breakfast, showering, etc. For more information on how intentional breathing, in combination with other tools, can act as an evidence-based comfort measure, check out this article: https://evidencebasedbirth.com/breathing-for-pain-relief-during-labor/

So how is your breath in your body?

Affirmations are useful in building resilience, reducing stress and changing behavior not only at the turn of a new year, but also in life AND during labor / birth - regardless of how that happens for you. You can believe in affirmations because of the psychological research on it or because you’ve experienced their power first hand. Which you prefer works for me 😘. Enjoy these and consider which affirmations will keep you grounded this year.
