5. Meditation for the Fourth Month of Pregnancy

Embryonic development is complete, in miniature, and baby now grows to fulfill the soul’s template. Deepen your confidence that all is well. Communicate with the breath; more prayers for God’s help and protection. Meditations: Listen daily in a peaceful place for the duration of each month of pregnancy. Try to sit undisturbed and relaxed for at least ten minutes. Let the Meditation spark your own inner voice to continue meditating and praying in your own words. (More in Introduction.) Written and spoken by Catherine Stone, a longtime birth and postpartum doula and lactation specialist in the San Francisco bay area. Music from Dawn Chorus by Sundaug.
