Birth MUST HAVE
I labored at home using this app, an exercise ball and in my bath. I was complete after an hour with this app guiding me (no doula or midwife or anything else). Second baby and a lot of time learning about unmedicated births. It was especially helpful while my partner was getting us ready to leave the house and getting our daughter settled. I truly cannot recommend it enough. Do not labor without it!!!
Used for my second labor
This app was really great for early labor. The Hypnobirthing was relaxing and meditative. The counter is a statically, pleasing and easy to use once I entered an active labor. It wasn’t much use, but that is to be expected. I would definitely recommend this for the next laboring Mom.
Best Labor Aid
This is one of the main reasons I delivered naturally. It allowed me to not worry about counting and just worry about controlling my breath and visualization. Highly recommend!
Hands down the best Hypnobirthing/ contraction timer
I love this app and the versatility it brings. As a doula, I recommend it to all of my clients.
This is an amazing app
I had my second baby last week and in the months leading up to her birth, spent a lot of time doing birth meditations in preparation for labor. I also took several of the hypnobirthing classes from The Positive Birth Company (I wish I would have known about this approach during my first pregnancy).
This app is an incredible tool both in my preparation and during the birth of my daughter. It is simple to use and has a really nice layout. I found Siobhan’s voice to be so calming when my contrac
Wonderful App
This app guided me through my pregnancy and labor. It was so helpful. I highly recommend! I had a beautiful home birth.
I don’t write reviews but this was a game changer.
I had a very fast 6 hr labor with my first. I also had a 1hr 40 minute drive to where I was giving birth. I was so scared but it felt like the app was able to help me gain control and understanding. My husband didn’t have to ask if I was contracting he just had to look and see if the screen was purple and I was breathing. We would not have known what to tell my midwife when she asked how far apart the contractions were on the phone, if it wasn’t for this app. It helped us not to panic and see a
Helped me labor comfortably at home!
This app was hands down the BEST thing for my labor with my son! The meditations and counting helped me to focus on my breathing throughout labor and really stay relaxed. I ended up going to the hospital after laboring at home and I was fully dilated by the time they checked me for the first time. It was an incredible first time birth experience and can’t wait to use the app again for my second, whenever that comes!
Two hypno births pain-free and no tearing!
This was my second time birthing while listening to the surge timer and beautiful affirmations and recordings in between surges. Hands down the best app for managing fear and anxiety and letting your body work its magic! Very grateful this is available free of cost and widely accessible. Hope it can translated into multiple languages as well! Thank you!!
Love it
Used this timer with both deliveries one 4 years ago and the other just a few days ago. It worked perfectly. I only used the timer feature. I also totally forgot you can delete a recorded surge.
Good but
I love that this app lets you know when it’s time to head to the hospital. It REALLY needs some sort of widget feature, because in early labor when I’m trying to keep track of my contractions, I have to open my phone and open the app and that could take a few seconds and then it’s not accurate anymore. But I do love the Hypnobirthing feature it has.
Helpful
Extremely helpful meditations for any part of pregnancy and beyond.
Definitely Helped Me Through Labor
I bought the Freya app as a “just in case” thing going into my first experience with labor. I made a birthing playlist and figured I would use that more. I was wrong! I barely listened to the playlist at all. The freya app really helped me to breathe through the contractions and fully relax in between. Even with an epidural, I used this right before the pushing stage because there was so much pressure that I needed help breathing through. I cannot recommend this app enough!
App have 6 language “amazing”, easy to use
My first language is Portuguese and I didn’t know that It have six language options and I get so surprised and excited when I saw the options I do you speak English but for sure when meditating your first language has more powerful.
I just downloaded the app yesterday I am 35 weeks pregnant and I am in love
everything in the app is well though and easy to use
Minha primeira língua é português e fiquei muito surpresa de saber que eu poderia utilizar o app na minha língua isso é muito bom para q
Helped me labor at home!
I owe my ability to labor at home like I wanted to this app! I gave birth in a hospital but wanted to be home and comfortable as long as possible. This app helped me stay so calm that I wasn’t even sure I was in active labor until I suddenly felt the signs of transition! I made it to the hospital and baby was born less than an hour later. Recommend this app to anyone!
Amazing app and company!
I love this company and think this app is the perfect addition to any hypnobirthing toolkit. The only downfall is that when the background music is on, it completely drowns out her guided voice to wear you can’t hear it. Such an unfortunate situation because I would really like to have the music accompany her voice. Please fix this with an update!
