Past Due Date Meditation - 20 Minute Pregnancy Affirmations for Anxiety

Welcome to The Womb Garden. I’m Bethany, a birth doula, and in this episode I offer a gentle due date meditation for anyone approaching—or moving past—their estimated due date. This calming practice is designed to be replayed morning or night as your due date nears or after it passes, helping you soften anxiety, release pressure, and return to the present moment with greater ease and acceptance. Through grounding language, breath awareness, and nurturing affirmations, you’re invited to lay down worries, expectations, and the weight of timelines—remembering that due dates are estimates, not deadlines. While this meditation centers pregnancy and birth, it’s also supportive for anyone feeling under pressure, rushed, or constrained by expectations or “deadlines.” You’re encouraged to reconnect with your body’s wisdom, trust your inner rhythm, and honor your experience just as it is. This episode offers emotional support and relaxation only and is not a substitute for medical care. Please continue to follow the guidance of your care provider for you and your baby’s wellbeing. Come as you are. Settle into your body. Breathe. There is no rush—only this moment, held with tenderness and care.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
