Mind Body Flow Class with Anna
In my first few weeks of pregnancy I have been experiencing anxiety. I have so many questions and it doesn’t seem like there is a lot of professional support until week 10-12 during that initial prenatal visit. So I have been seeking out other ways to feel empowered until then. I really enjoyed the first live class I took today and I am looking forward to Anna’s class tomorrow! I have been practicing the daily meditations. This app has been the most helpful for my anxiety then any other pregnancy app I have found so far💜Show lessWsjanisd
An exceptional resource for all expecting moms
I wish I had found this app sooner, it’s done wonders for my mental health during my pregnancy and pregnancy worth every penny spent on the subscription (way cheaper than therapy!). I specifically love the niche & relevant content that might not otherwise be accessible to me eg “how to deal with anxiety during pregnancy after loss” - I feel seen! The daily mindfulness exercises have helped me stay calm & positive. The hypnobirthing course has also really changed my mindset around birth and I’m now feeling empowered, excited and positive about my upcoming birth (God-willing). Thank you to the makers of this app for giving me just what I needed when I didn’t even know it.Show lessAaniyaHasan

Thanks for using Expectful! We are so happy to be a part of your journey. Your input is really important to us, and it is great to hear how much the content and exercises have helped you.Wish I had this in my previous pregnancies!
Im 23 weeks into my third pregnancy and I only wish I knew about this sooner. I’ve only been using this app for two days, but even after my first meditative session, the calming effects lasted with me for two days before I (was able to) listen to the next session. I’ve never been able to commit to meditating consistently throughout my life, although I’ve attempted it many many times throughout the years. I love this app and already see the effects it’s having in my life. This is so exciting. I struggled with postpartum depression in my previous pregnancies and also at the beginning of this pregnancy. I believe this app will truly help me staffing off depression and am truly motivated to fully committing to this app on the daily based on the results I’m already experiencing. With two kids, I truly love and appreciate that I get options for 5,10, or 20 minute sessions depending on what I can do for the day. I love the educational classes and have already attended one. Can’t share enough good things about this app. I truly recommend it for all expecting mothers!Show lessST&RC

Fantastic options!
I originally was looking for an app that would help me with hypnobirthing for my second child after a traumatic experience with my first. This app hit the money! Each night I would meditate on the day and follow the visualizations. I especially loved the weekly affirmations. The tips and guidance for birthing partners was also spot-on and realistic. There is so many great tools to utilize for first time
Mommy’s and beyond. Extremely grateful for this app and the guidance it provided.Show lessnattiec53
Amazing
I truly love this app. It has helped me manage stress and anxiety during this pregnancy. I’ve been struggling to feel excited and hopeful after experiencing a miscarriage during my first pregnancy earlier this year. The meditation alone has helped me feel grounded and present and I finally am starting to feel okay with myself and this new journey. It’s also helped me move my body with Pilates, yoga and stretching exercises even on my most tired days. I’m entering my second trimester and looking forward to all the support and information I receive on a daily basis through Expectful. I 100% recommend this app for all stages of your journey, pre and post!Show lessEmmzilla_
Essential App for Pregnancy
Expectful is the pregnancy app that’s giving me everything I wanted and surprising me with things I didn’t even know I need! I’m a yoga teacher & women’s wellness educator and have found this app useful in expanding upon my knowledge and guiding me gently through my first pregnancy. The movement classes alone are worth the price of subscription, and the meditations are specific for where we are along the pregnancy journey (down to the week and day). The educational resources -articles, courses (including hynobirthing), and professional office hours - are helping me prepare for birth, breastfeeding, postpartum sleep, and even caring for my pelvic floor. I’ve recommended this app to all my pregnant friends and will continue to tell other mamas about it!Show lessCandidVibes
Calming fears around Birth
It seems like all I’ve heard are horror stories about birth and coming into my third trimester I was starting to have a lot of anxiety around it. After 2 weeks of mediating and listening to the Hypnobirthing chapters my anxiety has calmed. I know feel like I can do this, my body is meant to have this baby and I am strong enough to handle whatever happens during birth. They have virtual office hours with midwives and live meditations and workouts you feel like you are apart of a community without going anywhere. Grateful to have found this space 🙏🏼Show lesssaritastx
Sells your information and not as good as expected
I’ve been using Expectful for a few months. I find the meditations to be of mixed quality. There are also numerous typos where the incorrect trimester is referenced in the description. The Hypnobirthing section is narrated by someone with the slowest voice, which works for the guided sessions but is painful for the informational parts.
I recommend waiting for a good sale. They not infrequently will offer 40-50% off for a year. I think the full sticker price is rarely actually paid, like an MSRP.
Disappointedly, Expectful shares your information with “partner” companies unless you opt out (I could not find this setting until I got an unsubscribe link in a junk email from them). I expect that with free services but not something I am paying for.Show lessS Super
Content is great but app is impossible
I really love the content available on Expectful but I find the app really off putting, to the point I don’t access the content as often as I would like. The app is very glitchy, I can’t move away from the current recording without it stopping, when I return to an audio selection it does not resume where I left off, the download feature is basically useless as the recording still stops when my train goes underground. I think most bizarre is the inability to click and drag back to the time stamp where the recording last stopped. The full screen illustration of where you are in the recording means I have to jump around and hope I find the right time.
I hope these issues are resolved because the content is wonderful and the frustrating app really undermines the content.Show lesstdsl112188
