As I breathe in, I am calm and relaxed As I breathe out, my baby shares my calmness As I breathe in, my baby and I are a team, ready for the work we are about to do As I breathe out, I know that my baby and I are normal and well connected As I breathe in, my uterus works by itself As I breathe out, I know the waves hug and massage my baby As I breathe in, I see my uterus as separate from the rest of my body. I watch my contractions come and go much like the waves of the ocean coming to shore. As I breathe out, I know this is normal As I breathe in, I touch my strength As I breathe out, I release my fear As I breathe in, My legs, hands and jaw are loose As I breathe out, my belly and bottom are loose As I breathe in, I know my baby’s head fits perfectly through my pelvis As I breathe out, I know my vagina can stretch to accommodate my baby As I breathe in, pushing feels good and exhilarating As I breathe out, I know the baby will be here soon As I breathe in, I love my baby As I breathe out, my baby will be beautiful As I breathe in, I see my baby’s head crowning and my skin as supple and soft As I breathe out, I see my baby’s head out As I breathe in, I see my baby’s shoulders coming out easily As I breathe out, I reach for my baby’s body and help it out of my body As I breathe in, I smell my baby As I breathe out, I hold my baby in my arms As I breathe in, I know that my placenta will be gently released from its home As I breathe out, I know that my uterus will contract As I breathe in, my baby is here As I breathe out, my baby is perfect
