SAL Mantras

When I start feeling scared/nervous about this pregnancy, I run to the SAL mantras. They always help calm me down. I wanted to post them here so you have access to them anytime you need them.

  • "Today I am pregnant and I love my baby."
  • "I am pregnant until someone tells me otherwise."
  • "My past does not dictate my future. A previous m/c does not mean I will have another m/c."--"Just because something sad is happening to another poster, does not mean it will happen to you. We all know m/c and complications are not contagious!
  • "Hope does not make bad things happen" You cannot ‘jinx’ your pregnancy by creating a ticker, getting excited, or telling someone. Live in the positive!
  • And this is the hardest one: "There is nothing I can do to prevent a m/c from happening. Worrying yourself sick doesn't prevent a m/c. And if (gods forbid) it were to happen again, I know I will survive."
