Ways we can incorporate our Christian faith into birth prep and the birth journey

There are several ways we can incorporate our faith into preparing for birth and as we go through the birth journey.

1. Encourage yourself with scripture. The word of God is truth. Here is a blog with bible verses for encouragement and comfort during birth.
   
2. Have faith-based affirmations you speak over yourself. Here is a blog with Christian faith-based affirmations.
   
3. Prayer is important. Pray throughout pregnancy and birth. You can also have your husband pray over you. If you have a Christian doula and/or midwife, they may offer pray as well.
4. You can also write prayers or do a prayer journal during pregnancy.
5. Play worship music throughout labor.
6. Praise God in the journey.
   
7. Build up your faith as you bring this new life into your family.
