It wasn’t too helpful
The options are limited and overall I haven’t used it or felt the need to use it in last 2 yrs. The birth was okay without the help of this app.
Amazing App! Highly Recommend!
This app is so incredible! It times your surges and then tells you when you’re on established labour so you know when to go to hospital or contact the midwife. It also counts for you to breathe with the surges which really helps focus your mind. It send positive affirmations via notifications which helped me keep my mindset. I had a home birth and found this app so supportive.

The best tool
My hypnobirthing trainer suggested Freya to me… and I’m so grateful she did 😍 I highly recommend this app to every woman preparing to give birth, and also to partners and anyone who will be there during labour and truly wants to help. It makes you feel supported, calm and confident when you need it most.

Amazing
Used for both my births and during pregnancy. Found it so helpful.
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.
A must-have
I used the guided breathing tool to practice in the weeks leading up to giving birth. This turned out to be one of the best things I did to prepare for birth, as I used gas and air for pain relief, and was able to regulate my breathing throughout - even when things started getting a little chaotic! The meditations were really helpful for managing anxiety in the weeks before giving birth too.

Didn’t work properly
Didn’t capture properly half the time so couldn’t track gaps. Also told me to go to hospital several times whilst still clearly in latent stage as contractions were not reliably 3 mins apart. Used the contraction timer on my TENS machine instead!
This app was my everything
Wow. Where to start. This app honest was just what I needed. No real pain relief just a both comb the app and a dream 😂 tracked surges with the button and used the breathing counts to support me. I wasn’t calm but this app helped me to focus. Amazing 10/10 get it honestly it’s so very worth it.
I want my money back
It does not stop. I don’t need it to keep talking to me after a contraction when they’re 20 minutes apart, but I can’t stop it. I guess it would be okay for when you’re having contractions very close together at the end (and actually want it to speak to you) but otherwise it’s not really set up for your entire labor.

So helpful!
I purchased the app a few weeks prior to birth and loved the guided meditations in the lead up to birth to help me relax. I ended up being induced and this app genuinely got me through the whole process, I listened to the guided breathing through an AirPod and it was still playing when my baby boy arrived 15 hours later. Will be recommending to everyone!

Invaluable addition to your birthing team!
I am so happy to have stumbled upon Freya just days before the birth of our second baby. After a heavily intervened traumatic birth with our first baby, I had been practicing hypnobirthing to prepare for our second birth with the hopes of having a more relaxed and physiological experience. With the help of Freya our dream birth was accomplished! Absolutely zero interventions, not even a cervical check was needed, as I arrived in hospital in active labour ready to go! Baby made their way down guiding me to use breath, and yielding into the surges. Freya was a huge gift in allowing us to stay home until active labour and only needing to be hospital for active labour, and a few hours post birth! I honestly do not think my hypnobirthing work would have been as effective as it was without the wonderful guidance and gentle care of Freya! I really appreciate how intuitive and accessible the app is, especially financially! What a gift, as it can allow more birthing folks to birth with their own bodies and babies as guides! Thank you Freya!

Huge UX issues
Invest in a UI/UX designer. Impossible to known when it’s on or off.
Be cautious
I used the timer during my early labour, and the app kept telling me I was an active labour. However, this was not the case and resulted in unnecessary trips to the hospital. This also gave me false hope. My early labour ended up lasting 70 hours and I believe this app timer giving me false information contributed to the longer lasting labour.

Positive Birth
I put my positive birth down to Freya completely and recommend it to everyone . Thank you!
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!!

Phenomenal
I downloaded Freya ready for the birth of our second child and the difference it made was phenomenal. The surge counter and guided breathwork kept me going through early and established labour and took away the mental burden of trying to figure out if it was time to call the hospital. The meditations also helped me to relax and focus positively between surges - I particularly liked The Journey. I would recommend Freya to anyone who would like a calm birth experience. Even if you haven’t practiced with it during pregnancy, it will be such a positive influence. Thank you Siobhan!

Great hyno tracks and daily affirmations as well as surge timer!!
Incredible value for money. Does so much for you as an expecting mum in final weeks. I was a bit hesistant but this has been a top recommendation I give now to friends. Last few weeks of pregnancy and I love their hypno tracks - the breathing counter, and will be a staple on that fateful day!
Best timer ever
This timer was SO helpful, I had a very quick birth without many supports and having coaching and breath support was life changing helpful
Absolutely love it!
Amazing app to keep a control of your surges while keeping a positive and peaceful mind during labour❤️
