Loving-Kindness Meditation for Pregnancy: Gratitude for Your Body, Your Baby, Your Pregnancy
In this episode of the Breath and Birth Co. podcast, Vanessa guides expectant mothers through a serene gratitude meditation. Designed to cultivate a deep sense of gratitude for their bodies, babies, and the journey of pregnancy, listeners are encouraged to find a comfortable position, relax, and connect with their breath. The meditation focuses on recognizing the incredible work the body does during pregnancy, the growing bond with the baby, and the support from loved ones. Vanessa also highlights the importance of self-appreciation and provides a calming ritual to carry throughout the day. Tune in to feel supported, informed, and empowered on this transformative journey.
Whether you’re in your third trimester or just beginning to process the beauty (and bigness) of this journey, this meditation gives you space to slow down, reconnect with your breath, and honor the profound transformation your body is undergoing.
Together, we’ll:
✨ Cultivate gratitude for the physical work your body is doing—expanding blood volume, creating a placenta, softening ligaments, and so much more.
✨ Deepen the connection with your baby, offering love and appreciation with each breath.
✨ Reflect on the support you’ve received along the way, and allow yourself to feel held in that love.
✨ Most importantly, express gratitude for yourself—for showing up, for nurturing, and for growing life from the inside out.
Pregnancy is a season of powerful change, and this meditation is a gentle reminder that amidst the unknown, gratitude can be your anchor. It’s not about ignoring the hard moments—but about honoring the miracle within you, and the strength that’s carried you this far.
An Affirmation to Take With You:
So whether you’re feeling peaceful, anxious, joyful, tired, or all of the above—this practice is here for you. A soft place to land. A chance to say:
“Thank you, body.”
“Thank you, baby.”
“Thank you, me.”
