Journaling for Birth Prep

the power of journaling!

It helped me MASSIVELY when I was pregnant (and continues to now in motherhood), and I know it played such a big part of my birth prep. It's something soooo simple but so effective, and it's completely free!

Here's how it helped me:

• It helped me to acknowledge all of my feelings and process them - especially any fears and anxieties about birth

• I connected with my intuition and built more confidence and trust in it

• Gave me space to listen to what I actually wanted and how I truly felt Helped me to trust and surrender

• It supported me as I challenged my beliefs around birth, motherhood, and myself. and where they stemmed from

• I got to know and understand myself more

• Soooo much healing and self acceptance

• Helped me go inward and block out opinions and expectations of others

• Built more confidence and trust in myself and my decisions

If you're pregnant and you haven't got a journal yet - this is your sign to get one!! there are so many benefits of journaling and it can have such a positive impact on your pregnancy, birth prep, birth experience, and motherhood journey.
