My son’s Sunday School newsletter inspired this post. In it, was a 101 ways to praise a child and reading it I thought that we all need praise and positive affirmations. When you are in an unplanned pregnancy, you are typically feeling down and may feel like life is working against you. It’s very easy to emotionally beat yourself up right now and tell yourself that you are dumb, make poor decisions, have made too many mistakes, etc..


But don’t forget you have good qualities too! You care about your baby and want the best for him or her – you are a loving and kind person.

Below is a list of positive affirmations. Choose one and write it on a post it note or even more fun – in lipstick – on your mirror and read it each morning and each time you are in your bathroom and really let yourself begin to believe it.

• I’m special.
