Many of the questions I receive around challenges in fertility include within them a reason why this woman might be having difficulty.
For example, women comment on alcohol consumption, arguments with partners, abortion, previous miscarriage etc.
But what many of them are sharing is a sense that perhaps they don’t really, fully deserve to be the mother of a healthy, happy baby.
What was your initial reaction when you read the title of this post?
On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate yourself?
1=I am not really good enough to be a mother
10=I am SO good enough to be a mother
What are the images that came up for you when you read this. Where does your mind bring you….to the positive or to the negative?
If you are planning to become pregnant or have experienced challenges in your fertility, it can be useful to see whether your natural response is one of self-criticism or kindness to yourself.
If, somewhere, you are not quite sure if you are good enough to be a mother, your subconscious mind will find evidence of that belief.
Is that what you want? Is it time to release beliefs that take away from the wonder of who you are?
How could you begin that now… and take another step toward success in your fertility, joy in pregnancy and fulfillment in mothering your lovely, healthy baby?
In joy,
