Great app for pregnancy
Love the meditations
Calm mama=happy baby bump!
LOVE this app! Love the daily pregnancy meditations and that they tell me how far I’ve come! (Not an estimate of how many days I have left!) the meditations are soothing and quick so I don’t feel pressured to find time to do them. The classes are AMAZING-the teachers are knowledgeable and kind! Love it!

App seems to be void of content
I used this app for my first pregnancy 4 years ago and it was amazing. I redownloaded and it was very dry on content, like meditations had been deleted. There were no events or community portals. I believe no one is working on this app anymore and wasted $8.50 subscribing so sharing this so others don’t do the same.

Extraordinary
Best app for calming effects and quickly takes over the anxious tendencies
Relaxing and informative
I love the meditations and the info on how my baby is changing.
Awesome app!
So many meditations, a great Hypnobirthing class (way easier than trying to find a video series on YouTube), and all free!
Birth
This was a nice bread
Helpful after loss
Really helpful after loss, very validating and calming

After upgrading to access premium content I realized none of the links are working and the page gives a 503 service error.
Hypnobirthing content and daily meditations
I used this app for my first pregnancy. It proved to be a great companion to what can be a lonely journey at times. I used it for daily meditations to manage anxiety or simply to connect with my baby. The meditation approach and content felt well paced and appropriate to what I was experiencing at every stage of the pregnancy.
Special praise need be given to their hypnobirthing content. I listened to the course early third trimester and used the visualization techniques often leading all the way up to birth. During the first stage of labour and at the peak of pain the visualizations kept me calm and focused. This app and hypnobirthing content had a huge impact on a positive first birth experience. Now I am using it to manage postpartum anxiety. I wholeheartedly recommend Expectful to every mother to be. Thank you!

Loving this app
The meditations aligned to every week of pregnancy are amazing. I’ve been looking for something just like this and I’m so glad I found it! Helping me to stay calm and connected to my baby as we both grow.
Worth Every Penny
I am so thankful for the resource that Expectful has become in my second pregnancy. Not only are the meditations curated for specific seasons in your motherhood journey, the articles and two courses available are high quality tools I go to for support. My favorite is the hypnobirthing course. It is digestible and I love that I can come back to it again and again as I prepare for giving birth. I plan on using it during labor. I wish I would have used this app for my first pregnancy. Even if you just get it for a month before your due date, I recommend it to all birthing folks looking for a tool to support their mental health. Thank you Expectful!

Content Won’t Load
The meditations don’t load which is really disappointing. I used the app during my 1st pregnancy and loved it! I logged almost 500 minutes of meditation. I was excited to jump back in while TTC but the meditations won’t load. I really hope they fix it.
Content change
This app used to be incredible. Filled with meditations, resources, and courses for pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood. Unfortunately, they recently decided to gut their meditation collections and essentially remove almost all motherhood content. This app is now only good for the hypnobirthing course. So very disappointing.

Great content but buggy
This app has been really great throughout my pregnancy; however it feels like the team is trying to do too much since there are multiple errors and bugs that make the experience much less enjoyable. For example, pulling in incorrect content for the daily meditations, some listed as 20 min meditations only being 10 mins, multiple places to update trimester when this should be applied across all given settings. My only other feedback is that I would like if the daily meditations were closer to 10 minutes since the 3-4 minutes feels too short. The hypnobirthing course is great as are many of the informative articles. I can see how this app can get to be excellent - just more quality control needed.

Exactly What I Was Missing
This is my first pregnancy and it’s been an emotional roller coaster. Working a stressful job, planning the future, and thinking about how everything will change can feel overwhelming. Even I still try to balance it out with connecting to the baby growing in my womb, it can be hard to find a truly quiet space and mindset to reflect. I was already a fan of meditation, but there’s something extra meaningful about meditation with a focus on the wonder and beauty of your pregnancy. I also appreciate there are meditation options of various lengths to accommodate my unpredictable schedule. The guided meditation is very well narrated and I’ve truly enjoyed this app.

Wonderful
Needs Improvement
Bugs have been fixed but it’s been 3 weeks and no added content that used to exist on the app. Still paying the same amount per a month for less content than before. Understand that troubleshooting needs to happen and takes time but disappointed that there hasn’t been any additional updates. I’m 17 weeks into my pregnancy and there have been no updated meditations since week 12. Really loved this app for my first pregnancy and was looking forward to using it for this one as well.

Exceptional
I heard about this app from a YouTuber. Wow, the daily meditations to connect with your growing baby has become invaluable. Thank you!
Helpful
I enjoy how relaxed I feel and the motivational quotes it’s easy to listen to and easy to complete once a day.
