Cool Go Mel Go!!

Mel (Gudism) is due to have her VBAC in less than two weeks time so I thought we had better get her cheer squad started It's really important for VBAC to have the support behind you so here you go Mel, just for you

YOU CAN DO IT!!!

You are going to have a fantastic birth in a few weeks time & you'll be wondering what the big deal was. And besides that, no matter how it goes you'll get to meet a gorgeous little bubba who will love you no matter how it arrives into the outside world.

GO MEL!!

Mel - You are going to be brilliant!!! You will have an empowered and beautiful birth, and will be meeting your new little one so soon!!!!


I thought I would add some affirmations for you - even though I am sure you have them already!


I trust my body.
My belly is full of light and love.
I am a strong and capable woman.
I have patience.
My cervix is firm and strong to hold my baby safe.
There is no need for us to hurry.
I have an open heart.
I am strong and calm and beautiful.
Birth is a wonderful, safe experience.
My body knows exactly what to do.
I trust my labor.
I embrace the wisdom of my body.
I am surrounded by loving, nurturing support.
I fearlessly surrender to the power of my body.
My body is nourishing my baby perfectly.
My body knows how to birth my baby.
I have everything I need.
I believe in birth.
I cooperate with my body and my baby.
My baby knows how to be born.
I put all fear aside as I prepare for the birth of my baby.
Untapped sources of strength are available to me.
I am relaxed and happy that my baby is finally coming to me.
My baby is free to choose her own destiny in the world.
I am an active and powerful laboring woman.
My baby is in the perfect position for birth.
My cervix opens outward and allows my baby to ease down.
I choose a gentle and natural birth.
My baby will be born at the perfect moment.
I turn my birthing over to my baby and my body.
My body is wise and purposeful.
I can handle whatever comes up.
I put all fear aside and welcome by baby with happiness and joy.
I love and trust my body.
I deserve and receive all the love and support I need.
I deserve a gentle, natural birth.
I claim my birthright for a wonderful birth.
I am a wonderful mother.


Best of luck and good wishes being sent your way you wonderful birthing mama!!

Mel, I haven't bumped into you a lot on here - yet. But I wanted to join the cheer squad. I always love to hear stories of women who go after their dreams. Well done for getting this far. All the best for your wonderful birth experience. I am sure you will treasure it forever.

You can do it!
Your body was made for this!
Your baby was made for this!
What a wonderful gift you are giving to your bub!


All the best, Saša

Hey Mel, YOU GO GIRL! You have all the support you need - supportive husband, supportive doula, supportive OB and supportive hospital.
Not long to go now until your blissful water VBAC. I'm getting so excited for you and I can't wait to hear all about it!
Damn I wish I could go to Selangor . . .
