Manifesting a Baby: What It Really Means and Why It’s Not All Woo-Woo
People will say ‘You can’t manifest a baby.’ And while they’re not entirely wrong—because, hey, we’re not out here hocus-pocusing babies into existence—they’re also missing the point. Let’s unpack this with a little wit, science, and love, shall we?
Manifestation isn’t magic. If it were, I’d have six Ferraris, unlimited snacks that don’t add calories, and Ryan Gosling as my yoga instructor by now. But manifestation is about creating a mindset that helps you take the right steps, stay hopeful, and not spiral every time Aunt Karen asks, ‘When are you giving us grandkids?
Here’s the deal: Manifestation is basically the PR rep for your subconscious mind. It’s not about ‘thinking yourself pregnant’—although wouldn’t that be nice? It’s about reducing stress, calming your brain, and sending it a memo that says, ‘Hey, we’re cool; let’s not sabotage this process with negativity.
You know what loves sabotaging fertility? Stress. And we’re not just talking about ‘Oops, I forgot to buy oat milk’ stress. We’re talking ‘Is my body broken? Why does everyone else get pregnant so easily? What if I’m the only one who can’t?’ stress. That kind of stress can really mess with your hormones.
Science moment! Studies show that stress can actually mess with ovulation and implantation. But guess what? Practices like hypnosis—yes, the thing where someone talks you into zen-mode—can help reduce that stress. So, no, we’re not chanting our way to a baby. We’re creating a chill environment for our body to do its thing. You’re welcome, ovaries!
Here’s where I got to set the record straight: Manifestation is NOT about blaming you for your fertility struggles. Nobody’s out here saying, ‘Oh, you didn’t journal hard enough, that’s why you’re not pregnant.’ That’s toxic, and it’s not what this is about. Manifestation is about empowering yourself to feel in control in a situation that often feels totally out of control.
Manifestation, visualization, goal setting and hypnosis are tools—like supplements for your mental health. They don’t replace doctors, IVF, or medical care. They’re just here to make sure you’re not losing your mind while doing all that other stuff.
So, can you manifest a baby? Not directly. But can you use manifestation to keep your sanity, stay positive, and give your body the best shot at doing its thing? Heck yes. Because if nothing else, it feels a lot better than doom-scrolling Instagram and crying over baby announcements, am I right?
To anyone out there on this journey: You’re doing amazing, even if it doesn’t feel like it right now. And if manifestation or hypnosis can give you a little extra comfort or hope, why not give it a try? After all, mindset might not make miracles, but it sure can make the journey a little easier—and maybe even a little funnier. You got this.
