Welcome beautiful soul,
This meditation is here to hold you in the final weeks of your pregnancy,
To help you soften,
Surrender and trust in your body,
Your baby and the mystery of what is about to unfold.
You don't have to know when,
You don't have to be fully ready,
You only need to be here and breathe.
Let this be your sacred pose,
Your place of peace,
Let's begin.
Find a position that feels deeply supportive to your body,
Whether you are resting in bed,
On the couch or leaning into your birth bowl.
Let yourself feel held,
Close your eyes gently,
Bring one hand to your heart and one hand to your womb.
Take a slow full breath in through your nose and exhale slowly through your mouth.
Again inhale and exhale.
Let your shoulders drop,
Let your body begin to soften more and more.
Let yourself thrive fully here.
And let us prepare for birth not by tensing or doing more,
But by opening,
Softening and doing less.
Breathe into your heart,
Breathe into your womb,
Let your breath remind you now,
You are safe,
You are ready,
You are deeply supported,
Seen and held.
Take a moment to acknowledge yourself,
Everything you've done to prepare,
Every list you've checked,
Every item you've organized,
Every choice you've made from love.
It's okay now to put it all down,
You don't need to do more,
You don't need to get it all perfect,
Now is the time to slow down,
To soften,
To just be.
Begin to tune into your body,
She is wise,
She remembers,
She knows the way,
Let her speak now,
Gently affirm to yourself,
I know how to birth,
I know how to open,
I was made for this.
Now tune into your baby,
Feel their presence,
Not just as a body growing inside of you but as a soul walking beside you,
A sacred being wise in their own rhythm,
Let them speak to you now,
I'm getting ready too mommy,
I trust you,
We're doing this together,
Let that land in your heart,
Let it melt your edges,
Let it remind you,
You are not doing this alone,
You don't need to control this birth,
You are invited to trust it,
You don't need to know the moment labor will begin,
Your baby knows,
Your body knows,
There is the way you want to birth and the way your baby wants to be born,
Both are sacred,
Both matter but in the end,
Let your baby lead,
Trust what is about to unfold,
Your baby's birthday,
Their time of arrival,
Their astrological signs,
The position of the planets and stars,
All of this will shape their soul path,
Their unique blueprint for this life,
So let them choose,
Not you,
Not the doctor,
Not the midwife,
Let it be your baby who decides when the time is right,
Let go of the calendar,
Let go of the schools,
Let go of any sense that you're early or late or behind,
You are right on time,
You've done enough,
You are enough,
If it feels good,
Call in your support,
Your spirit guides,
Your baby's guide,
Your ancestors,
Feel their presence gathering around you in a circle of warmth,
Reverence and love,
You are not alone,
You never were,
Bring your awareness back to your womb,
Imagine a soft golden glue expanding with each breath,
Gentle,
Spacious and alive,
Feel your baby resting within it,
Moving with you,
Responding to your energy,
Their body and soul preparing in perfect rhythm with yours,
Together you are already birthing,
Each breath,
Each moment,
Each heartbeat is part of their journey,
You don't need to push,
You don't need to hurry,
You only need to listen,
To trust,
To love,
Let this connection,
This remembering be your anchor in the coming days,
When fear rises,
Return to your breath,
When doubts whispers,
Return to your womb,
When you forget,
Place your hands on your body and gently remind yourself,
I trust you,
I trust me,
We are doing this together,
Let's take three breaths now to grind this moment and carry it with you,
Inhale love,
Exhale surrender,
Inhale trust,
Exhale presence,
Inhale your baby's light,
Exhale into readiness,
You are doing beautifully,
You are so loved and your birth is unfolding in divine perfection,
May this moment remind you,
Your body knows,
Your baby knows and you mama are already enough,
I'm inviting you to slowly come back to the present moment,
To wiggle your finger in toes and open your eyes when it feels right,
I thank you for walking this sacred path,
I am Anne-Claire and it is an honor to walk it with you,
Sending you so much love,
Namaste.
