You’re Pregnant! Now What? Affirmation -Fertility is Natural, I am a Part of Nature, I Trust Nature
By Dr. Shasta Ericson, The Fertility Whisperer
Congratulations! The moment you confirm your pregnancy is sacred—it's the beginning of a miracle growing inside you. Now is the time to shift gently into a lifestyle of protection, nourishment, and trust in your body’s wisdom.
She simply is—creating the perfect cozy environment for new life to form. And you should do the same.
1. Slow Down & Be Still
Think like a chicken that stays still ontop of her egg to keep it warm and nourished - being an incubator!
As you can see from the preciousness of the video above she needs - rest alot, take afternoon naps, or at minimum put your feet up for 20 minutes at lunch with your eyes closed. Get lots of sun, fresh air, pure water and organic high nutrient food!
Pregnancy is a time to pause. Allow yourself to rest more, move slower, and tune inward. Say “no” to unnecessary stress or overstimulation. Your nervous system directly influences your baby’s development—so keeping yourself calm and supported is key.
2. Eat Like You’re Growing a Life
Warm, nourishing meals are everything right now. Focus on a Mediterranean-inspired, high-fat, blood sugar-balanced diet:
Organic cooked vegetables
Warm broths and stews
Healthy fats like olive oil, avocado, nuts, and wild-caught fish
Grass-fed meats and pasture-raised eggs
Complex carbs like sweet potatoes, quinoa, and lentils
Avoid cold, raw, or processed foods, and eat on a regular schedule to stabilize your blood sugar and support your baby’s brain and organ development.
3. Stay Warm
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, warmth is vital to support pregnancy—just like the hen keeps her egg warm. Keep your lower belly and feet cozy. Drink ginger tea or cinnamon-spiced warm water, and avoid icy drinks or cold foods.
4. Affirm Life Daily
Your thoughts shape your energy and hormones. Use gentle, positive affirmations like:
I am a safe and nourishing home for my baby.
My body knows exactly how to grow this life.
I welcome this miracle with love and peace.
Fertility is Natural, I am a Part of Nature, I Trust Nature
Say them out loud each morning with your hand on your belly. It matters.
You are now in the sacred act of creation. Your job is not to "do" more—it’s to "be" more: still, trusting, and lovingly present. Your baby is growing exactly as it should. Just like the hen on her egg, your warm and mindful presence is the greatest gift you can give.
