  • In labor right now and I LOVE this app

    It’s so relaxing! I took a hypnobirthing class and this is the perfect companion. I do wish it had an Apple Watch app so i could time the surges that way. Love the voice and the music. Would 100% buy again. Worth it.
  • Natural birth, first child

    This, hands down, is the most AMAZING app and is the ultimate reason I was able to have a natural child birth with my first baby. I found it about two days before I went into labor and was SO glad I did. When you open the app, it plays relaxing music and speaks positive birth affirmations. When you start having a contraction, you press the button and it counts in for 4 and out for 8 so you have a pattern to follow with your breathing. Then when you’re done you push the button again and it goes back to the positive affirmations. Every contraction is tracked and it’s easy to go in and look at the time between contractions, the intensity of the contraction, and averages. This app saved me and is the ultimate reason we were able to stick with our birth plan. Thank you Freya!!!

  • So helpful

    After 5 days of labour (unusual) this app helped me so much! Although the timer had me in established labour multiple times when sadly I wasn’t there but as I said I had an extended labor. This app however helped me breathe and stay calm during contractions and in the middle of the night when it’s just you there, it’s nice to hear a calming voice!

  • Audio Settings

    I wish there was a way to fast forward or pick which audio track I want to listen to. As it is, it just goes through them all without any fast forward or selection option.
  • My amazing hypnobirthing guide!

    This app was instrumental in the unmediated birth of my third child! I had used hypnobirthing techniques with my second birth, but I was much more productive this time around with the guided breathing and birth affirmations seamlessly blended together with the surge timer. It was like having another birth companion, and I found myself using it for most of my labor until the pushing stage. Cannot recommend enough.

  • Integral part of my labor

    Loved using this app during labor. Found out about it after using the digital pack from the positive birth company and am so glad I did. I initially used it on mute to time my surges (contractions) so I wouldn’t have to keep track. I was so relaxed using other tools from the positive birth company, that I was shocked and a little scared that I waited too long to go to the hospital when Freya told me I was in active established labor and my surges were 2 minutes apart. For the car ride to the hospital, I turned the volume on and listened to the guided relaxation in between surges which was helpful to keep my mind off having to sit still during the ride. The counting for my breaths was a lifesaver during labor as I didn’t have to think about it or have my partner count for me. VERY, VERY HELPFUL to me and would definitely recommend it.

  • AMAZING!

    This app was literally a lifesaver during my labor. I used it the whole time until I got to down breathing and had my baby. I don’t think I’ll ever labor without using it again. I seriously have never written a review on anything ever, but this was too incredible to not. Totally worth it! This was hands down my best birth (a few days ago) and this was baby number 5.

  • Must have for anyone giving birth.

    Very clean and user friendly design. The positive Birth Company also has an amazing online course to help prepare for birth and this app is the perfect compliment. I can’t wait to use it when I give birth in April!
  • BEST labor/contraction timer! I’m so excited to use this during labor!

    I have been counting down the days until my due period for our second baby. When I saw this app was possibly going to be released before our delivery I was overjoyed. I’ve been checking the App Store several times a day for its release and squealed with joy when I saw it was available this morning. I purchased the positive birth company’s online birth class and it has been wonderful, so I had very high hopes for this app. And it meets ALL my expectations.

    It is a very clean and calming format. I absolutely love the slow bubble movement on the screen as the guided mediation plays. I also love that there are no distracting words or pop ups. If you have never used anything like this before it’s kinda like the headspace app, but for labor. Having the up breathing counting play once pushing the contraction button is awesome! (It’s also super handy that you can mute it at anytime without messing with phone volume) And the best part is that it tracks everything, so I will be able to stay positive and focused. I’ve been testing out other labor/contraction timers and this one is by far the BEST! Thank you so much positive birth company!!
