## What is Woven Beginnings?

Woven Beginnings is a calm, supportive companion for your pregnancy, birth, and the early weeks with your baby. Whether you're hoping for an unmedicated birth, planning an epidural or a cesarean, or simply want to feel calm and prepared, it's here to help you feel informed, supported, and confident — your journey, beautifully woven.

CALM BIRTH COURSE
• 44 short, gentle lessons across mindset, your body in labor, practical labor tools, after-birth care, and when birth takes a different path
• Each lesson has key takeaways, tips, a "try it now" exercise, and a quick knowledge check
• Rooted in hypnobirthing and positive-birth principles

BREATHE & RELAX
• Guided breathing for every stage — calm, rhythmic, birth breath, and box breathing — with breathing threads that move with your breath, and a cycle counter
• Guided relaxations and visualizations, with an optional calm voice that reads each step aloud so you can close your eyes
• 25 illustrated affirmation cards — tap a card to turn it over and see why it's true

FOLLOW YOUR WEEK
• Enter your due date and your week updates automatically
• Your baby's size in inches and pounds, week by week, plus what's changing for you and a gentle weekly focus
• Your prenatal checkpoints — anatomy scan, glucose screening, Tdap and RSV vaccines, group B strep test — with the next one shown on Home

READY FOR THE BIG DAY
• A free contraction timer that breathes with you through each contraction, logs when your water breaks, and shows the 5-1-1 guide — no ads, no account
• A labor companion with breathing, your labor & delivery unit's number one tap away, when-to-call signs, and stage-by-stage guidance
• Comfort measures, pressure points, and a partner guide with day-of prompts
• The B.R.A.I.N.S. tool for talking through decisions with your OB or midwife
• Write your birth plan — including newborn choices like vitamin K, eye ointment and cord blood banking — and print it or save it as a PDF
• A hospital bag checklist, and US prep steps: choosing a pediatrician, pre-registering at your hospital, and a car seat check

AFTER BIRTH
• Postpartum recovery tips, "when to get help" guidance, and answers to common new-mom questions
• US support lines one tap away, including the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline
• A private journal for your reflections, moods, and bump photos

YOUR PRIVACY
Your information stays on your device. Nothing you enter is sent to us — no account, no ads, no tracking. We can't share what we never receive.

Free to start, and the contraction timer is free for good. One payment unlocks the full course, guided exercises, comfort measures, and partner guides — yours to keep, never a subscription.

Woven Beginnings offers educational and supportive content and is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Always follow the advice of your OB-GYN, midwife, or healthcare provider.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4.6 — 2026-10-24

• Candlelight, for the birth room: when you start timing waves, the lights go down. The screen dims and the colors turn warm and low, with every tool still on the page. Tap the flame to turn it on or off.
• Eyes closed: time your waves without looking. Tap anywhere when a wave starts, and again when it passes.
• Candlelight replaces dark mode, so evenings in the app are softer too.
• The tabs now follow your pregnancy: Home, Tools, Learn, then Labor.
• Got a code from your midwife, doula or childbirth educator? Redeem it in the app: tap "Have a code?" when you unlock, or go to Settings → Redeem a code.

### 1.4.4 — 2026-10-09

• A fresh look, woven through with Sarah's drawings and colors, and menus that show where you're up to at a glance.
• A calmer wave timer: the clock stays in one place, it shows clearly when the 5-1-1 pattern is reached (with your labor & delivery unit's number and what to tell them), and it goes dark at night.
• My baby is here: once your baby arrives, the app follows your fourth trimester — your recovery, the signs to watch for, and who to call.
• Learn picks up where you left off, with the next lesson one tap away.
• Enjoying the app? You can now leave a rating any time from Settings.

### 1.4.3 — 2026-10-07

• Links from your midwife, doula or childbirth educator can now open the contraction timer or the Breathe page directly.
• Small improvements.

### 1.4.2 — 2026-10-05

• Breathe with me: while you time a contraction, the circle now breathes with you — a slow breath in, a long, low breath out — with a soft tap on each new breath, so you can close your eyes.
• Prefer to hear it? Switch on "Soft wave sound" and a gentle wave rises and falls with each breath — on the Breathe page too, so you can practice the same breath before the day.
• One tap notes when your water broke. It goes into the log you share with your care team, with a reminder of what they'll want to know.
• Timed a contraction by mistake? Remove it from the list.
• The screen stays on while the timer is open, and a contraction you're timing keeps going if the app closes.

### 1.4.1 — 2026-09-27

• Help that fits where you are: emergency numbers and support lines now match your country — 911 in the US. Change your country any time in Settings.
• Made for the US: US spelling, ACOG's schedule of prenatal scans, tests and vaccines, baby sizes in inches and pounds, and US prep like choosing a pediatrician, pre-registering at your hospital and a car seat check.
• New "Coming up" on Home shows your next appointment and the next prenatal check.
• Tools and Home now use the same calm cards as the Labor toolkit.
• Your printed birth plan is Letter size, and dates are month-first.
