Motherhood through IVF or as a single mom by choice is an act of strength, love, and deep courage. Whether you're walking this path alone or with minimal support, you deserve reminders that you're not just surviving—you’re thriving in your own way.
These affirmations are created for women navigating fertility treatments, IVF pregnancies, or solo motherhood.
Research shows that women who conceive through IVF and those who choose solo motherhood often experience higher levels of anxiety and emotional stress throughout pregnancy and motherhood. Factors such as uncertainty during fertility treatment, the emotional/financial toll of medical procedures, and the weight of solo decision-making can amplify emotional vulnerability (Hammarberg et al., 2008; Smeenk et al., 2001).
By integrating mindful affirmations into daily life, these women can foster inner stability and emotional resilience. They’re here to help you feel seen, centred, and grounded on the days when you need it most.
📓 Journaling Prompts for IVF Moms and Solo Mothers
Writing can help you process the emotional highs and lows of this journey. Here are a few prompts to reflect on:
What does motherhood mean to me right now?
What have I learned about myself through IVF or choosing solo motherhood?
When do I feel the most connected to my baby?
What am I afraid of, and what helps me feel safe?
How do I want to describe this journey to my child in the future?
Journaling alongside affirmations creates a safe space to explore emotions and build resilience.
