Notice the critic. Choose a kinder voice.
Your body is changing faster than you can keep up with, everyone has an opinion, and underneath it all is a quieter voice asking: am I doing this right? Am I enough for this? That voice can get very loud in pregnancy, because the stakes feel so high.
Quieting the Prenatal Inner Critic is a printable prenatal guide for noticing how you talk to yourself, and practising something kinder when you need to. It isn’t forced positivity or pretending the fears aren’t real. It’s a way to stop the critic running the show.
What’s inside
Notice Your Inner Dialogue: arrive in your body, then listen for what the critic is saying about your pregnancy, your body and your readiness
Label, Release, Support: a simple way to label a thought, let it float off, and swap in a supportive phrase rooted in body trust
A menu of phrases to choose from, plus softer versions for days when they feel like a stretch
Trust the Body Doing the Work: an anchoring practice for your breath, your belly and the life growing there
Three journal prompts and a one-week “first critical thought” practice
Who it’s for: Pregnant women in any trimester who are hard on their changing bodies, compare themselves to others, or worry they’re not ready. No meditation experience needed.
PDF download · 9 pages · 10–15 minute practice · All trimesters · Beginner friendly
Also part of the Gentle With Yourself prenatal bundle → all three guides for $12
