Freya • Surge Timer for Positive User Reviews

Everyone should use this app, it changed my life!I used the PBC digital pack and Freya app for my second pregnancy. It was absolutely life changing. We were able to have the home birth of our dreams thanks to the programs help in building our confidence through knowledge and meditation. We used the app through our entire labour and it was completely responsible for guiding me through my surges and pain. I can’t express enough how essential this program was in our positive birthing experience..Version: 4.0.1

A labour necessity!This app is a must have! I couldn’t have been without it during my first labour and I’m already looking forward to using it for my next! It’s so easy to use and keep a track of your surges, whilst also using the relaxation techniques and recordings. The ability to reorder the tracks to your own preference is fantastic, as well as being able to skip through to the one that you may wish to listen to at a given moment. I loved having the ability to click on a surge to delete it, as I tapped a couple of times by accident! I think it’s great that you can also change the counting on the up-breathing technique to suit you. Alternatively you may choose to turn off the counting through surges altogether if that is your preference. You can also turn off the background music when using the recordings, in order to play your own music, which is really helpful when you’ve set up a playlist for your labour. The app gives you lots of ways to personalise it to suit you and your labour and I’m so glad I had this tool for my labour!.Version: 2.0

Got me throughThis app is amazing - totally got me through a very intense early labour which basically started straight away established hard and fast with little break in between. The counting through each surge with my chosen relaxing playlist fob Spotify playing the same time really helped me focus..Version: 4.0.1

Helped me lots!Great app, super easy to use. I love watching Shobans YouTube videos and her mp3 and this app helped me lots during labour..Version: 2.0

A very small price to pay for a more peaceful birth!I purchased the Freya app after completing the PBC online course on hypnobirthing. The knowledge from the course was crucial, and when I went into labor it was much easier to time my contractions using the app, while listening to the lovely birth affirmations in between while I rested. This entire company is built on the empowerment and education of women, and is recommend it to anyone hoping to have a more comfortable labor.🙏💞.Version: 2.0

Brilliant!!!This app was the perfect birth partner. I can not speak highly enough for the positive impact this app had for giving me the birth I wanted. So empowering!!!.Version: 2.0

Crucial tool!I had no idea how crucial this app was going to be during my birth. First time mum, I gave birth in December and from the moment my Braxton Hicks turned to the first contraction I used the app. At first it was so that I could give the midwives a sense of my progress but later on it became my mantra. I focused on nothing else in the room but the gentle counting to help with my breathing techniques. In the end I wasn’t even breathing along with the app but my husband kept my phone held up to my ear because for some reason I needed to have the calm voice counting at all times. He didn’t turn it off until I was pulling my daughter from the water. Like I said, crucial, in that moment I wanted nothing else and I had no idea it was going to be such an integral part of the experience. Worth every penny!.Version: 2.0

HelpfulExtremely helpful meditations for any part of pregnancy and beyond..Version: 5.0

Great calming experienceWe had a playlist planned, but when I put this app on during my wife's labour, she loved it & didn't budge from it. With me timing when she called out, it helped focus her attention on the breathing, helped us figure out when the right time to go into the hospital was, and even keep track there for knowing when to expect the next one. The Apple Watch companion app was perfect as well as I didn't have to keep the phone close, I could just tap go & stop on the watch as I supported my wife through the experience..Version: 4.0.1

AmazingThis app is perfect and can’t rate it high enough! In my first labour I used a different surge (contraction) timer but not a patch on this. Having completed the Positive Birth Company Digital Pack during my second pregnancy I purchased the Freya app. I was able to completely zone out in labour, focusing on my breathing meant the surges passed quickly and it told me when I was in established labour and to go to hospital. I had no pain relief in the labour and was at hospital for 40 minutes before my baby was born. The midwives were really impressed with the app and how calm I was. I found the meditations really helpful but if they aren’t for you they can be turned off, as can the music, just leaving the surge timer. It’s great value and a real game changer!!.Version: 2.0

Perfect ❤️Just I time for my labour, thank you so much ❤️.Version: 1.0.1

A must have app contractions!!I learnt about this app whilst doing their online hypnobirthing course. And it’s the best tool to have when you in labour! It’s does all the work for you, all the you do is start a timer when the contraction starts and stops and it’s records it all for you, even tells you when your in active labour! It takes the worry out of having to record the times yourself and work it out! And when I got to the hospital and the midwives ask about my contractions I handed them my phone and they could see for themselves! I couldn’t rate this app any higher and will definitely be using it if I have any more babies!! I have kept my contractions on the app and every now and again go back and look at them as all concept of time disappears whilst it’s happening. Congratulations PBC for making such a fab app!!!!.Version: 2.0

A wonderful app and my ‘stand-in’ birth partner for early labour!I was awaiting a planned C-Section for my breech baby when I went into labour on the pre-natal ward during the night. Due to COVID-19 I didn’t have my birth partner with me on the ward and, although the midwives were monitoring me frequently, I was managing the contractions on my own. The Freya app was my absolute saviour! I put my headphones on and listened to the mediations, using the timer feature and listening to Siobhan’s counting every time I had a contraction. The timer function was so so helpful because I couldn’t time the contractions myself as I was too focused on breathing through them. I could just show the midwives my phone and they could clearly see I was having 3 in 10. Eventually I stopped listening to the mediations because of lots of people coming in and out to monitor me and talk through next steps, so I just used the timer feature and watched the circles get bigger and smaller to show me when to breathe. I really think I would have been lost without this app!.Version: 3.0.1

Helpful & relaxing; love it!Absolutely love the app! I’ve been using the app for relaxation, it’s got all of The Positive Birth Company’s recordings on repeat (guided relaxation, affirmations and others), so you don’t have to worry about changing tracks and playing again. Timing the surges is extremely helpful, with a visualisation to guide breathing, and it will tell you when you’re in active labour to call the midwife. I deducted one star only for the reason that there’s no control over the recordings that are playing. For example, if I wanted to repeat the affirmations a few times then jump to head & face relaxation, the option to do so could be useful. I wouldn’t say that’s critical though, and I look forward to using this app regularly and during labour..Version: 1.0

Wouldn’t give birth without it!!I gave birth to my daughter 5 weeks ago. The Freya app was incredible! In the really early stages of labour it helped me time my surges whilst keeping my breathing under control. I didn’t have to think or worry about anything as my breathing was being counted for me whilst timing my surges. In the later stages of labour I found listening to the positive birth affirmations really helped me to stay focused and brought be back down to green between surges. I was able to give birth to my daughter in the birthing pool with no other pain relief and I genuinely don’t think I could have stayed focused and done it without the Freya app. If I am lucky enough to have any more children I will definitely be using it again and will be recommending it to everyone I know. Thank you so much Siobhan and The Positive Birth Company!!.Version: 2.0

Used it before and during labor!It was absolutely instrumental in preparing for labor and I used it all through the first part until I started to push. ❤️❤️❤️.Version: 2.0

AmazingThis app got me through labor, don't know what I would've done without it!.Version: 2.0

Absolutely perfect for meThis app was fantastic and the best thing I used during the labour of my second. After reflecting upon the birth of my eldest I realised that firstly I needed help counting my breathing and seeding that I didn’t need anything more than simple spa music. So this app, with its calming music, positive affirmations and counting help, was amazing. I listened exclusively to this app through noise cancelling headphones and I was able to stay 100% in control. Once I got to the birth centre at 7cm I swapped to just listening to the contraction timer counting, and 40 minutes later my daughter was born in water. This app was exactly what I needed, i would really recommend it to help keep you focused and in the zone, as well as relaxed and in control..Version: 4.0.1

10/10 RecommendI used this app during my labour and delivery and it 100% contributed to me not needing an epidural. My labour came hard and fast (3 hours start to finish) but practising on the app prior had me well prepared for the breath work and listening to it during with AirPods was the only tool I needed to achieve my desired birth outcome..Version: 6.0.1

FantasticUnused the app to practice before hand and from the second the first contractions started... it kept me going through 27 hours of labour without any pain meds other than gas and air for the last hour. Can not recommend more highly! Simple to use and effective :-) awesome app.Version: 2.0

Amazing app and company!I love this company and think this app is the perfect addition to any hypnobirthing toolkit. The only downfall is that when the background music is on, it completely drowns out her guided voice to wear you can’t hear it. Such an unfortunate situation because I would really like to have the music accompany her voice. Please fix this with an update!.Version: 4.0.1

The best app for your labour!I’ve been wanting an app that will make surges easier to record for both me and my husband so we can see straight away when they are at the right stage to talk to my midwife. And it’s so easy to enter your surges, being a bit of a statistics geek I loved the overview page when you input your surges to show you all the information. Including your surge regularity and duration as well as time between each surge. Amazing! Having been doing the Hypnobirthing pack by the Positive Birthing Company since 20weeks this will be a perfect easily accessible tool not only to time my surges but to help with my breathing and affirmations when in labour. An extra tool in my belt just incase I need it. Thank you for creating an app with so many wonderful and very useful tools but also affordable to everyone..Version: 1.0

Even the Midwife’s loves it!As soon as I started getting contractions I used this app to time them to tell the Midwife’s but also to help me breathe through them even before they got intense. I found even using this app at the beginning of my labour helped me feel calm and relaxed and to find my centre which I continued the whole 20 hours of my labour. When a contraction would come everyone in the room would find themselves stopping and breathing in and out with the app. The two Midwife’s present at my home birth asked what the app was so that they could recommend it as everyone in the room felt calmed by it! Couldn’t be more grateful for Siobhan and this amazing app!!.Version: 2.0

Love everything about Positive Birth CompanyI have been so eagerly awaiting this app! I love how easily accessible it makes Siobhan’s voice which is such an anchor after following the PBC hypnobirthing programme. I think it’s an absolute bargain. It helps partners by giving them a job if they want to be involved using the app & also gives a visual during a surge. I’m gutted that I just missed this app & gave birth 2 weeks ago today! This would have been incredible as we were writing down my surges & playing the MP3s on my phone. I could’ve done with this count down as my husband was sometimes so focused on timing me, he didn’t count with me. This simplifies it all. This will be my first port of call for my next baby! Thanks to PBC I have no fear about that & I can’t wait X.Version: 1.0

Game changerThis app literally got me through my labour, and I don’t know how I could have done it without it. The only times I panicked was when I lost track of the counting. As soon as I got back into the rhythm I was fine. The ability to time your surges and the time between them is also so helpful. I rave about it to every pregnant person I know!.Version: 2.0

Definitely Helped Me Through LaborI bought the Freya app as a “just in case” thing going into my first experience with labor. I made a birthing playlist and figured I would use that more. I was wrong! I barely listened to the playlist at all. The freya app really helped me to breathe through the contractions and fully relax in between. Even with an epidural, I used this right before the pushing stage because there was so much pressure that I needed help breathing through. I cannot recommend this app enough!.Version: 4.0.1

I credit this app for helping me be so present during my labourFrom the moment I felt my first contraction, I put in my headphones and had this app playing. As my surges became stronger and stronger, the app allowed me to stay present and breath through each surge. I had essentially zero anxiety throughout my entire labour and I believe it’s because I was so focused on listening and breathing in the app. I highly recommend this app and it’s worth the price! #firsttimemom #canada.Version: 6.0.1

Love this!I’ve never left a review for an app before but feel that I can’t not leave one for this! I did the online hypnobirthing course and bought this to support me in labour. It honestly was the best thing. It kept me calm and able to stay at home for the majority of my labour. Siobhan’s voice is so reassuring. The surge counter begins seamlessly with counting to support through each surge and I also liked watching the visual of the circle getting bigger and smaller to give me a focus when I was becoming less comfortable. There are a range of options to customise the experience, I.e choosing to have the background music on/off and only having certain tracks playing. Without this I’m not sure I’d have done half as well at birthing my baby! Thank you so much - this is the perfect birth partner..Version: 4.0.1

So relaxingThe app is well set up and is great at helping you achieve your desired birth. Siobhan’s voice is so soothing. Highly recommend.Version: 2.0

App have 6 language “amazing”, easy to useMy first language is Portuguese and I didn’t know that It have six language options and I get so surprised and excited when I saw the options I do you speak English but for sure when meditating your first language has more powerful. I just downloaded the app yesterday I am 35 weeks pregnant and I am in love everything in the app is well though and easy to use Minha primeira língua é português e fiquei muito surpresa de saber que eu poderia utilizar o app na minha língua isso é muito bom para que possamos meditar relaxar profundamente super recomendo o aplicativo! 👏🏼😍.Version: 4.0.1

Thee best. All I used 36 hours of labor !The relaxation tracks were so calming. It was so nice to be able to track surges /contractions. I listened to this constantly when I was in the hospital during labor. I was really in a trance and did a natural birth!.Version: 4.0.1

Highly recommendThis was such an amazing tool for my second birth. Would highly recommend it to anyone using hypnobirthing..Version: 2.0

DOULA RecommenedI am a doula in the states and I recommend this app to all my clients. I absolutely love it. It is simple, relaxing, encouraging, and so effective. Majority of people birth in hospitals here with MDs and still benefit from this app, especially when early laboring at home! Worth the money for sure..Version: 2.0

Love!This app has helped me so much in preparation for labor. I really enjoy the affirmations and soothing sounds and voice. I also completed the corresponding hypnobirthing course through The Positive Birth Company and found it to be so educational, thoughtful, and just what I needed to guide me towards a positive birth experience..Version: 2.0

Updated Fraya Surge timerBeing 38 weeks pregnant I haven’t been able to use this for labour yet but I’m excited too. I’ve been using the app to play the meditations at night when Relaxing and practicing my up breathing. Also been playing around with the surge timer. I think it’s great that you can send a picture of the surges in the app to family members so when the time for my little one too arrive I can send a picture to my mum so she can keep an eye and know when she needs to come along to help get me over to the hospital. For me I think it’s great that you can close the app and the meditations play in the background so I can close the screen and get completely comfortable without my phone screen lighting the whole room up! They’ve just updated and you can play all the different meditations now too! Also being able to change the times of the up breathing seconds. I would think Is handy if you’re having a rather powerful surge. This is the only timer I’ve downloaded because I don’t think there is any need for another this is the complete package! Will write another review when I’ve laboured and used it too it’s full potential! Looking forward to it and meeting my little girl!.Version: 2.0

The. Best.This is an amazing app! Helped me keep track of my contractions with ease. So simple. Easy to use. Easy to read! The app also has positive affirmations and guided meditation to help you relax and feel empowered about birth. Highly recommend this app to any mama!.Version: 2.0

Super helpful. Get it!I used the app during pregnancy for relaxation and on the early stages of labor. I was a bit skeptical at first… but all the breathing and relaxation techniques were super helpful. I had a positive ( and quick ) home birth experience. I know this product played a big part on my happy day - hope it helps you too! Good luck! 💚💙.Version: 4.0.1

Absolutely brilliant!Being pregnant with our first child during a global pandemic has not made things easy for me and my husband. We decided to purchase the Positive Birth Company digital pack in order to prepare and educate ourselves for the birth. It was absolutely brilliant and i have already recommended it to other friends and family who are pregnant. When i realised there was an app to help you during labour i jumped at the chance to download it and did not regret my decision. It was fantastic in order to time my surges whilst i was in labour and give a guide as to when we needed to make our way to the hospital. The positive affirmations and relaxations tracks were great and provided me with a focus between the surges. Thank you for creating such a great digital pack and app that provided us with the necessary tools needed to positively bring our little girl into the worl 2 weeks ago. Can’t wait to use the app again for our next child..Version: 3.0.1

Just what I need for LabourThis app is perfect and I will definitely be using when I go into labour any day now. Having loved listening to the MP3s through the digital pack for the last 7 weeks I am so happy that this app incorporates these along with a really easy way to time my surges. I have practiced my up breathing with my birth partner counting at home but now with this app it means we have Siobhan (a familiar voice) counting for us so we can focus on getting through each surge when that day comes. Also really useful that through the app timing your surges you can see how long and frequent they are and be notified when you have reached established labour - amazing! Thank you so much for creating such a great app!.Version: 1.0

Kept me calm and got me to 9cm!This app was so brilliant during my labour in March 2019. I had completed the digital pack also from Positive Birth Company and had really fallen in love with the relaxation scripts that Siobhan reads, which are part of this timer. It was so good to have her counting me through my surges and then straight back in to relaxation. I used it from the beginning of labour and through the journey to hospital (lifesaver) and after only a couple of hours I was 9cm dilated and went on to give birth completely drug free. (previously had quite a traumatic experience which ended in unplanned c section). I honesty don’t think I could’ve stayed as calm and relaxed as I did if it wasn’t for this app. Genuinely! Recommend 100%..Version: 2.0

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..Version: 1.0.1

A MUST-HAVE for pregnant women!!I used Freya when I gave birth to my son in April, having completed the Positive Birth Company’s digital pack. I can not recommend it highly enough - the soothing relaxation tracks with Siobhan’s familiar voice and the guidance she provides during a surge for your breathing is so calming and reassuring. Freya records your surges so you know when you’re in established labour and gives you the option to reset which is fantastic! I did it a few times to make sure I had done it right, but it was absolutely spot on because when I was examined I was 4/5cm! Not having to think about that and being able to concentrate on your breathing is so important. The new version updates are great - allowing you to mute the music, added more tracks which you can skip and different options for breathing as well. I recommend it to anyone I know who is pregnant and will continue to do so! I can’t wait to use it for my next labour!.Version: 2.0

Freya app- invaluableI used the Freya app for a month prior to labour. Falling asleep with it on every night. I loved the affirmations and the relaxation. I used it in my short labour (2 hours) which helped me stay calm and focus. I was unable to use the surge counter as my labour was too quick but feel that it would have been great way to stay in control if needed..Version: 2.0

Just Amazing!I have completed the Positive Birth Company’s online hypnobirthing course and have found it to be the most empowering thing I could have done for myself during lockdown. I have downloaded the Freya app and use it as a tool for relaxing meditation before I go to sleep. I will be using the app to time my contractions and my partner has found it very easy to use. We are currently in the middle of the PBC post partum pack and I hand on heart, cannot thank Siobhan and her team for creating such accessible, empowering, useful resources for women across the world. Being pregnant in a pandemic comes with its own anxieties, all of the PBC resources have truly helped me have a positive mindset. What a wonderful gift to give women! Thank you..Version: 2.0

Absolutely invaluableThe Freya App proved so invaluable to me during my labour and I credit it (and the Positive Birth Company Digital Pack) with the reason I had such a wonderful birth experience - under 5 hours, no pain relief in a Midwife Led Birthing Centre. I used the app throughout my pregnancy and during my labour and I don’t know what I would have done without it! It was particularly useful to plug myself into it on the (rather uncomfortable!) 35 minute drive to the hospital we had as we live rurally but the app kept me calm and on track and meant I had the most amazing birth experience when we got to the hospital. The app (and the digital course) is for everyone and I recommend it to everyone I meet who’s pregnant now, as does my husband!! Cannot rate this app highly enough..Version: 2.0

Amazing hypnobirthing surge timerI used the Freya app during my labour, after doing the positive birthing company online hypnobirthing course. I used the app during all my early labour to not only track my contractions timing wise, but more so to maintain my relaxation/focus with my breathing. Siobhan’s voice was so relaxing and helped me to focus/control my breathing, and listening to the positive affirmation/relaxation tracks in between surges really helped. Highly recommended this app to everyone and it is so user friendly!.Version: 2.0

Audio SettingsI 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..Version: 1.0.1

Ideal for hypnobirthers!This is the ideal accompaniment to hypnobirthing! The app consists of a surge timer which can track the length and few of your surges and tell you when would be a good time to call your midwife. While timing them you have Siobeann’s calming voice counting you through the “up” breathing with the calming expanding circle graphic. While surges are not happening you can listen to the guided relaxation tracks, or you can mute them. They come back in when your surge is over just where they left off 😊 you can clear all surges so practise before the big day is possible. No ads, beautifully simple, and having recently searched to see what other hypnobirthing apps are available and been very disappointed- this is head and shoulders above anything out there already. Thank you for creating it!!!! Ps. One tiny improvement would be to be able to select which relaxation track you want to listen to, but I’m only splitting hairs here!.Version: 1.0

Such a great app!I used this app during labour and found it so simple and easy to use! I love how you can customise it, I found having the positive affirmations on very helpful early in labour and then the breathing counter was incredibly helpful too! Such a great app.Version: 2.0

Great for early laborI used this app for the first half of my home-birth labor, it really helped me focus on breathing and resting during contractions before they got to the transition stage. Definitely recommend as a tool for natural births or before getting an epidural..Version: 3.0

Absolutely amazingI love everything about this app. Simplicity ✅ Audio ✅ Contraction timer ✅ User friendly ✅ I started using at the beginning of my labour and did not turn off the mindfulness audios until I had my first shower after birth. This app allowed me to labour with zero pain relief and still keep a smile on my face hearing that every surge brings me one step closer to meeting my baby and that my surges cannot be stronger than me because they are me. So beautiful. My husband loved it too and knows it was one of the keys to get me through my labour so beautifully. I listened to the Audio a month before my birth at night to help me meditate and send love to my baby. Just love it. I recommend this to any and all pregnant women!.Version: 6.0.1

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..Version: 1.0.1

AmazingDownloaded this app as I started labour and I’m so glad I did. Honestly helped me have the birth I wanted and kept me focused. I listened to the mp3s a lot before labour so when I started using the app, it was like immediate relaxation! The midwives were so impressed with how well things progressed and how calm it was. I listened to it on Bluetooth headphones with volume turned up so I couldn’t hear anyone else around me. TREAT YOURSELF!!.Version: 4.0.1

Must haveCompleted the Hypnobirthing course and downloaded Freya, I didn’t use 18 months ago with my second child but fast forward to my recent labour and I couldn’t have survived without it, it kept me calm and completely in control. Being induced due to pre eclampsia but not given a room to labour in I was on a ward I managed to pop my ear phones in, sit on a ball, closing my eyes and get in the zone pressing the button to breathe me in for 4 and out for 8. I got to 8cm just by using the app and keeping me extremely calm. I genuinely do not know what I would’ve done if I didn’t have this app as all my birth preferences went out the window!!.Version: 4.0.1

It helps!I used used Freya first to practice listening to a calming voice to practice hypobirthing. It helped a lot. I became relaxed and began to drift off to sleep. Later, I used it to count my real surges to screenshot and send to my midwife as a record. I was also able to send those to family to give a heads up if what’s happening or to show how fast my labor was going after I delivered. I was able to delete most of the accidental taps but one or two wouldn’t delete, showing a 3 second surge that confused people. For some reason though, I could delete the newer surges at least. I’ll be recommending this app to anyone I run into who needs a counter. One thing I’d love is for the developers to add stories along with the affirmations. I noticed several programs and ladies practicing hypnobirthing also love being told a first person story or a guided story to help get their minds off the pressure and discomfort and have a lesser painful delivery. I did this using a podcast with guided stories and had to keep switching the podcast and Freya to keep going. A little annoying but at least I had both. I think with a few various 2 minute guided stories would help..Version: 5.0

Everything you need in one app!I gave birth back in July and had the best birthing experience which I largely put down to the positive birthing company and the online hypnobirthing course. I listened to the positive affirmations at least once a day, especially to help me sleep at night. I’m a poor sleeper at the best of times but the affirmations and relaxations were my saviour, especially towards the end of pregnancy when getting comfortable was difficult to achieve. On the night I went into labour I was listening to the affirmations whilst timing my surges on my phone and writing down the length of them on a piece of paper as I hadn’t downloaded an app. Outside of that I was 100% in the zone. Here you have everything you need to do all of that in one app. Without having to flip from one screen to another, someone doing the counting for you, allowing you to stay completely in your zone and in control. I love it and it will definitely be put to good use in the event of baby number two. Happy hypnobirthing!!!.Version: 1.0

A wonderful appAbsolutely fantastic! This app and the hypnobirthing course helped me get through a three day labour. I recommend it to everyone!.Version: 2.0

So helpfulWill use for every labour and recommend to all friends. Easy to use. Tells you when you’ve reached established labour. Counts your breathing through each surge and gives relaxation sound track throughout. Didn’t use once I arrived at hospital but was perfect at home..Version: 2.0

Great app!Great way to keep track of surges at a time when you may not be able to concentrate enough to count or time. Midwives found the information very helpful in assessing me..Version: 2.0

Amazing app to help keep calm during laborI had a med-free birth two years ago but had no idea how to breathe and was not prepared. It made me scared and feel out of control the whole time. I found this app right before having my second baby. My labor was only an hour and I was completely calm with the guided breathing. It helped so much and the contractions were much more manageable. I had such a quick and easy birth and I owe it to this app helping me have a more positive birth! I have never spent money on an app. I always use free ones. But this was beyond WORTH IT!!.Version: 2.0

Preparing for birthI have downloaded this app after purchasing the positive birthing company pack. I am currently 38 weeks pregnant and will be using this app in the near future. I have trialled the app to get a feel of how to use it whilst in labour and am amazed at all the different aspects and how easy it is to navigate. After watching the positive birthing company videos i love Siobhans calming voice and the addition of music in the background, however I also find it great that the sound can be turned off whilst also tracking the length of surges. I showed my husband how to use it incase I do not want to use my phone whilst in labour and he also found it very easy to navigate. The settings section allows you to clear the surges, turn off the music and to adjust the breathing pattern or turn off the counting audio. I found those very useful but it may be different whilst birthing my baby, so It’s great that these features can be turned off..Version: 2.0

Great app for natural labor!I downloaded the Freya app after taking the Positive Birth Company’s hypnobirthing class and found it SO helpful for timing contractions during labor. Using the app, I was able to stay home for most of my labor before heading into the hospital. Between the class and the app, both were the best money I spent while pregnant and helped me achieve the birth experience I wanted to have..Version: 2.0

Amazing app - worth its weight in gold!The Freya app genuinely feels like a second birth partner. After completing the digital pack it was a no brainer to download the app and actually so great to be able to listen to the guided meditations and breathing on here. I used it for weeks before my birth and throughout early labour to calm me and keep me focussed. The surge timer is so much more intuitive than the others out there and I loved that even before I was having contractions I could open the app and use the Up breathing during examinations, sweeps and just when I wanted to relax. The updates are so good and make the app even more easy to use as well as more useful for different scenarios, I’ll be using it even after birth. I can’t recommend enough!!.Version: 2.0

Confirmation and ConfidenceAm I really in labor? This app helps you answer that question once and for all. I loved the simple tap to record a contraction and soothing sounds and positive words immediately start playing -I didn’t even have to search for the mp3s in my digital pack during labor because everything was accessible right in the app! This app helped me get to 6cm at home before going to the hospital!.Version: 2.0

Ground breaking!!This app and the online courses were amazing! The hospital staff actually asked me what I had been doing to know my body so well and how to manage things during labour. Thank you so much Siobhan!!.Version: 2.0

Helped me birth my baby at home, UnmedicatedDuring my 1st pregnancy I took the hypobirthing course but didn’t practice the tools and skills and after 27 hours transferred to hospital. During my second pregnancy I download this app and planned for homebirth. My labour came quick and intense and I’m SO grateful I had this app the coaching of the breathing through each surge. It truly kept my mind focussed and helped me release any tension and breath through each surge. I am so happy I had this app and was able to birth my baby at home!! Truly a wonderful experience I will remember forever. I recommended this app to several pregnant momma’s looking for an unmedicated birth or simply to help with Labour. ❤️❤️.Version: 4.0.1

Super useful during laborI used this app to track my contractions and to help me keep calm during active labor. It was incredibly useful. And this is coming from someone who took Lamaze and Bradley Method birthing classes!.Version: 4.0.1

Couldn’t do labour without itThis is my first ever app review because no app has ever or will ever impact my life like this has. In December 2019 I welcomed my first baby into the world, and used Freya 2.0 which was the day after its launch/update. I listened to the positive affirmations throughout active labour, timed my contractions in early labour and used the breathing counting throughout my entire labour and used it as a focus point. Without this app and the positive birth company I wouldn’t have had the techniques in place to have a drug free labour and birth which is what I always dreamed of. I will be forever grateful and will definitely use the app again when having baby no.2. Thank you a million times over, I will be an advocate for you always..Version: 2.0

Couldn’t have done it without Freya!This app was beyond amazing. I don’t know what words to use to describe how Freya centered and grounded me for a 48+ hour labor with no pain medication. All of the nurses and midwives were asking my partner what I was listening to and they were amazed. Freya gave me the mental focus to embrace my surges and power through a pitocin induced labor. I had a doula and my partner there and the combination of all three made for a positive and calm labor. Thank you Freya, I’ll always be eternally grateful for this app showing me that I CAN labor without pain medication!.Version: 4.0.1

Lifesaver!Could not recommend app highly enough..Version: 1.0.1

I love the app!So I have decided to give the app a test run before the big day! And I LOVE it! It makes me so excited to use it. I like how as soon as you open the app it starts to play, you can even come off the app and it will still play in the background. It has a great surge timer which will let you know when is best to call the midwife. You can track your surges which is great and you can also delete all surge information (incase of a false alarm this is helpful). You can also turn on/ turn off the relaxing background music and what plays I.e positive affirmations, relaxing muscles etc, so you can 100% make the app do what you need it to do. Also if the breathing in for 4 out for 8 is too long you can shorten this which is helpful. Thanks for a great app :-).Version: 2.0

Best birth appJust had bubs number two in another challenging birth. This app kept me focused more than anything else. Noise canceling headphones and I was able to stay in my bubble for as long as possible. Both births the midwives where fascinated ad to what I was listening to. The marathon story gets me everytime. Thankyou for making such an empowering app, it made the world of difference.Version: 6.0.0

Great App!I’m using this app as I get closer to my birth (38 weeks today), using the breathing techniques and affirmations daily. My 10 year old loves doing them with me and I find Siobhan’s voice very soothing! Looking forward to using the surge timer when labour begins and as a side note I recommend taking a look at her Positive Birthing Company Course. It was so informative and having had previous birth trauma, I now feel confident in my mind and body to move through labour with ease. Thank you so much!.Version: 2.0

Essential for laborI can’t say enough about how this app helped me during the birth of my son. I had it in my ears the entire time and it helped me to stay calm and focused. Siobhan’s voice is soooo calming. I’m forever greatful for the Positive Birth Company’s course and this app. 🤍.Version: 2.0

Best app to compliment hypnobirthingI downloaded this app whilst pregnant and doing the PB hypnobirthing course. This app was not only great during pregnancy when I needed to zone out but was essential in the early stages of labour when I was timing the surges. My husband also found it super easy and simple to use. I was surprised when it said I was in established labour as i was still comfortable. One improvement I would suggest is having it so there an option for no talking in between and just have the calming music. Because I was in established labour quickly I was not having many breaks in between contractions and therefore was unable to follow the guided relaxations properly so would have loved the option to just have the music..Version: 2.0

Integral part of my laborLoved 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..Version: 1.0.1

OMG! Perfect!I’m not a fan of relaxation apps at all. Was looking for something to track my contractions. Ended up using this app, including music/affirmations/ counting breathing. Had a beautiful hospital birth without interventions. Had my earphones on a high volume with this app on through all three stages of labour and just couldn’t get enough! Highly recommend this app! Need to mention this was my fourth labour and I honestly do not understand how I did previous three without this calming voice of reassurance. Thank you, impressed.Version: 4.0.1

Awesome but could be better!I loved the app for my first birth and have come back to it for my second. I enjoy the affirmations and the golden light story but I’d love the option to adjust the volume of the music and voice separately as sometimes the music over powers the words being spoken. I’d also love a sleep timer so that I can listen for a chosen amount of time and fall asleep without worrying about turning it off again..Version: 4.0.1

Best hypnobirth and surges times I’ve ever seenI finished the Hypnobirth course from The positive company a few weeks ago (and I recommend it with all my heart by the way) and a big part of it is practicing the relaxation (before and during labour) and using the breathing during labour. I was a bit worried about the “logistics” in birth, how I would count the surges and do the breathing techniques, as well as the relaxation bits too… the materials are a kind of a guide, but not very easy to access when you are in labour I guess. I absolutely loved this app!!!! It was such a great idea and great execution! They managed to combine the surges timer with a relaxation/visualization track and guided breathing!! All in one place, without having to tap millions of buttons, you just need to put your headphones and listen to it, and of course, when you are in labour, tap when your surges comes and goes. Its all there and very easy to use. And the design…. OMG! Its absolutely gorgeous. Its simple, intuitive, the colors are amazing… I’m just in love with the whole thing. And I’m here sitting in my desk, working and listening to it right now. It is totally worth paying for and better than any app of this kind I’ve ever tried. Freya will be my second birth partner. ❤️.Version: 1.0

Exactly what I neededI hadn’t done much in terms of practice before labour (just positive affirmations with my morning sudoku) but this app was a god send. I loved having an automatic breath timer (I think I would worry if partner did it his pace would vary if I struggled etc) knowing it was a robot was great. It also helped communicate when I was surging to both husband and midwives as when i hit the timer they knew it was coming (and all let me do my thing, husband knew to stop touching me haha) it massively got me into a zone (by the end I just had it counting on loop cuz I found it so rhythmic and comforting) Plus I love having the momento now of my timed surges of how it kicked off haha #1 thing I recommend to any expectant mothers whether they are hypnobirthing or not.Version: 2.0

Loved itI used the Freya app for the birth of my second, after a recommendation from a friend. Whilst I’d actually done a Hypnobirthing course in both pregnancies with another provider (simply because I hadn’t known about The Positive Birth Company!), it was exactly what I needed and totally complimentary to what I’d been practicing. It was on throughout pretty much my entire labour and I found using the counting button for breathing during the surges to be so incredibly useful for keeping me calm, focused and controlled especially when walking from the car to the delivery room. And the audio in between surges helped me relax and be ready for the next throughout the labour. I highly recommend the Freya app for practice during pregnancy and for the big day, and also recommend the PBC book and affirmation cards, which I also read and used throughout my second pregnancy after learning about them! Thanks so much!.Version: 5.0

Awesome! Just the tool I was looking for!Love this, so simple, no subscriptions, does exactly what you want in labour to keep you grounded & using your breathing 🎉.Version: 4.0.1

Others asked if I had done “hypno birthing”This app is amazing - it guided me through while laboring at home during the pandemic and monitored contractions for me while I was in “the zone.” I labored at home as long as possible with the app’s (and my doula’s) guidance and when I got to the hospital I was fully dilated (10 cm!) - no epidural or other pain medicine was required! While at the hospital I used the deep breathing techniques through labor and delivery - both my nurse and doula asked if I had studied hypno birthing! Everyone said they had never seen a birth quite like mine..Version: 3.0.1

1st baby, 4 hr labour thanks to Freya app!This app was bloody amazing! It kept me so calm, I owe my life to this app after bringing our beautiful baby girl so safely into this world. My labour was 4 hours long and for a first time mum, that’s so good going. Freya was with me the whole way keeping me calm and in control. It’s all down to this amazing app that my labour was so quick! The breathing technique was amazing and kept me so focussed and I felt “in the zone” with each contraction. Just bloody brilliant - if you are pregnant - download it! 100% worth every single penny. I still haven’t deleted it yet because every now and then I look back to when it all started as the Freya app logs it all for you. It’s incredible!.Version: 6.0.1

This technique works so wellI found The Positive Birthing Company online course after a friend of ours told us about how much hypnobirthing helped her during her labour. After finding the techniques taught by Siobhan so affirming, powerful and helpful, I purchased the Freya app. I find that it completely assists me to find peace, calm and relaxation within my body and my partner is benefiting from the breathing techniques too. I’ll definitely be using the Freya app with headphones when I go into labour in a few weeks to assist in supporting my body to naturally give birth to our first child..Version: 2.0

So convenient and intuitive!This app is amazing. Pair it with the digital pack from the Positive Birth Company and you’ll feel empowered to handle any birth experience. This was so easy to use - which is what you want when you’re in labour. It was also incredibly helpful to have it count out my breathing for me and then hop right back to some positive affirmations or relaxation tracks in between surges. On top of that, it made it so easy to share my progress with my midwife... I just handed her my phone and she had all my info. Thank you so much for this!.Version: 2.0

Perfect AppAfter my first birth didn’t go to plan I was determined to have as natural a delivery as possible for my second. This app was perfect and I gave birth to my posterior baby naturally after 10 hours. The marathon story gets slightly repetitive but the surge timer and positive affirmations are amazing! Definitely worth investing in..Version: 1.0.1

Second birth partner for sure!!I’m a first time mum and the whole thought of birth used to give me terrible anxiety. However, I found the Positive Birth Company Hypnobirthing digital pack and this has made such a massive difference on the way I feel throughout my pregnancy. Instead of dreading the day that I’ll birth my baby I look forward to it and I know that a massive part of my success is from focusing on keeping calm. Freya has made this just that little bit easier as I can really focus on the voice and tune out everything else. Even the colours make me feel calm and it’s so easy to access and use. I now can’t wait until my little girl decides to make her appearance when I can finally put Freya’s surge timer to use aswell! Love love love. So glad I’ve got this and would recommend to anybody out there!.Version: 1.0

So helpfulAfter 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!.Version: 1.0.1

Invaluable app for tracking labourUsing this app alongside the Positive Birth Company hypnobirthing course was honestly the best decision I made and I hope more people find out about it. Wouldn’t hesitate to fully recommend. It kept me calm and able to track my surges for when I needed to call a midwife as it informs you as soon as it has calculated that you are in established labour from the timing you input. You can also check the history to see patterns and timings so far, whilst still quickly jumping back to timing when a surge comes. I could control my breathing and listen to Siobhan’s calming voice at the same time as listening to the familiar tracks too. The visual interface also kept me calm as when a surge itself was being timed, it looked like a pattern of breath moving in and out and I ended up focussing on that throughout as it was so relaxing..Version: 2.0

A virtual birth partner!This app will be amazing to use during labour! After doing the online hypnobirthing course (also amazing!) I was excited to see what the app would bring. This app allows you to time your contractions whilst listening to Siobhan count your breathing. This will be invaluable as a tool to really focus on during childbirth to disappear into the “zone” (especially if your birth partner won’t be much help with this 😂) there is calming music playing and lovely visual colours to focus on. I think this will be a very useful tool to use. You can then see the graph showing how often contractions are. It doesn’t do anymore than this but for a couple of quid it’s worth the money..Version: 1.0

Virtual birth partnerLove this app (and the Positive Birth Company Hypnobirthing online course). I completely contributed these things to me being able to go natural even while being induced. I recommend this to anyone and everyone looking to have an empowered birth experience!.Version: 2.0

Helped me labor at home!I owe my ability to labor at home like I wanted to this app! I gave birth in a hospital but wanted to be home and comfortable as long as possible. This app helped me stay so calm that I wasn’t even sure I was in active labor until I suddenly felt the signs of transition! I made it to the hospital and baby was born less than an hour later. Recommend this app to anyone!.Version: 4.0.1

Love this app! I recommend it to everyone!This app helped immensely getting me through my labour. Love all of the tools and resources by the positive birth company, they have such a simple and easy to understand approach to hypnobirthing. 100% recommend this app and their other resources to anyone expecting!.Version: 4.0.1

Really helped me!I got this app after my husband and I took the online Positive Birth Co hypnobirthing class. I listened to it on the hour plus drive to the hospital after my water broke and contractions picked up big time. Her voice is so soothing and it really helped me stay relaxed. I didn’t use the timer but just listened. I was able to give birth without any drugs and we think the course and this app were a huge part of that! Thank you!!!.Version: 2.0

In labor right now and I LOVE this appIt’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..Version: 2.0

Great app, just had one difficultyLoved this app- i personally didn’t benefit from having the sound on once I’d reached a certain point and gained my rhythm, so it was great that the option was there to turn it off. Loved the fact it tells you when you’re in established labour, which was great as the midwife didn’t believe I was in labour, so it was great to have Freya telling me I was!(the midwife was wrong) my only Criticism is whenever I tried to delete a surge (for example when I’d forgot to turn it off when on the phone to the hospital) it would delete a completely different surge and not the one I selected! Which then completely messed with the monitoring of my contractions and confused the app into not thinking I was having 3 in 10. I’m sure I was doing it right as my partner tried and it was doing the same for him! Overall I found this app an asset to my labour, and will definitely use it again should we have another!.Version: 1.0.1

Invaluable app!Hi! I used this app when I was in labor two weeks ago for my daughters birth. I used it in the weeks before too just to listen to the affirmations. It was invaluable for me and my husband. Whenever I would have a surge I would tap the surge button and my husband loved how it would go “in 2,3,4...” he said it helped him know I was having a surge and he could focus on what I needed or to just know why I stopped talking or randomly stand. Now that it has been a couple weeks I actually opened up the app again just to see how my surges were, it was cool to see how close they were and how long. I’ve recommended this app to everyone I know who is pregnant. If we have more kids I will definitely be using this again. So thankful to the positive birth co.!.Version: 2.0

Feeling FREYAtastic about going into labour now :DI’ve been familiarising myself with this company’s online resources over the last 2 months (I’m 38 weeks pregnant now) but haven’t been consistent enough with my daily practice of the breathing techniques etc. I was starting to feel a little anxious about that and “was I doing it right/ doing enough” etc. The Positive Birth Company’s ethos, however, is all about reassurance and empowerment so I needn’t have fretted! I’m new to this app but it has already helped me feel that I am ALREADY ready, as I am. The tools and interface are simple. It feels somehow warm and intimate, friendly and soothing - like having a digital doula helping you breathe and focus. I’ve only tried during practice and Braxton Hicks surges so far but will definitely be using this app daily until the “real deal” starts. THANK YOU!!.Version: 2.0

Couldn’t have done it without Freya!I had my second baby in early April 2020, during COVID-19. I could not have done it without Freya!! I wanted a peaceful and healing birth, unmedicated and natural, and this app (as well as Siobhan’s book and digital course - highly recommend those also!) made it possible! I used it during my last few pregnancy weeks every night to play the meditations and affirmations. During labor, I used Freya to time my surges and had the affirmations and ‘presence is perfection’ meditation on loop for HOURS. I actually gave birth to them playing in the background! It was invaluable to help me stay in the zone, stay calm and present, and trust my body! HIGHLY recommend this app to anyone pregnant and going into labor. 100% worth it and so so so helpful. Thank you Siobhan!!.Version: 2.0

A must for pregnant ladiesMy one recommendation for app improvement would be to have an up breathing counter option on its own without the integrated surge timer so I don’t have to keep clearing the surge history. For all those c section mothers to be or anyone practising before the day it would be really nice to use the up breathing technique and meditation without the constant reminder of the surges I am never going to have. If it wasn’t for lockdown restrictions I don’t know if I would have come across hypnobirthing but I’m so glad I did and after doing some research PBC seemed to tick all the boxes and it’s been amazing. After completing the course I downloaded the Freya app which I have been using to fall asleep to at night. Unfortunately at 38 weeks pregnant I was told I needed a cesarean so the surge timer is not needed..Version: 3.0.1

One of the many incredible tools from PBCI am a huge fan of The PBC, the tools they’ve created to ensure it is affordable for every woman to have a safe, positive & empowered birth are phenomenal!! Freya was instrumental during my labour and helped me control my breathing & kept an accurate account of my surges so my husband could relay the info to the midwives. I used Freya every night whilst I was pregnant to practice my breathing and without the app & other products that the PBC offer I don’t think I wouldn’t felt so in control of my body & my birth as I did. Could honestly note recommend Freya & The PBC enough...I will be eternally grateful to them for helping me achieve a positive birth experience of bring my beautiful baby boy in to the world, Thank you PBC!.Version: 2.0

A must for labourA friend recommended this to me and I’m so glad she did. During labour the app made me feel calm and in control. It’s also really easy to use. I hadn’t got round to having a go with it before contractions started, but it was so simple and I soon got the hang of it. Initially when I was at home it helped me feel secure and that there was a voice talking me through it. Once I got to hospital I was able to quickly show the midwife the log of surges, which she commented was really helpful. It popped up that I was in active labour and the midwife agreed I was. Afterwards the log on the app is a reminder of how my son was born. Overall I brilliant app..Version: 6.0.0

Highly suggestMy first labour and delivery was very difficult and I was afraid before the birth of our second. I read a little bit on hypbobirthing and decided to buy this app. It not only gave me a lot of reassurance but using the app while in labour dramatically improved my pain tolerance and I actually enjoyed labour this time! I was in active labour for two hours with contractions coming every 2 minutes for 1:20 seconds before going to the hospital. This app kept me calm and relaxed and my Doctor was surprised I was in active labour at 5cm already because I was so chilled out during and between them. I was freaking out the first time I gave birth so it was completely night and day. 10/10 worth the 5$.Version: 2.0

Perfect companion for hypnobirthingThis app is brilliant if you’ve done any kind of hypnobirthing course. I’ve done the Positive Birth Company digital pack and would strongly recommend this as the perfect companion to that course (as well as the course itself!). First of all, it’s a beautiful app, with gorgeous soothing colours and graphics. As for features, it has everything you could want to support your hypnobirthing journey. You can track your surges with flexible counting options to help with your breathing and there are some great guided relaxations and affirmations to help you relax in between. This latest version gives you more control over the audio you can listen to - making it easier to familiarise yourself in preparation for the big day (a super important part of the course is practice!) and so you can select the perfect relaxation for you in the moment when the time comes. It’s also really helpful that it lets you know when you’ve reached established labour. My baby is due to arrive in a few weeks’ time and know that this will be a massive help to track my surges and keep me as calm and relaxed as possible for a beautiful birth..Version: 2.0

1st birthWow I am so happy I found this app!! It will just be my husband and I at the hospital so this will be my “doula”. Wonderful app!!.Version: 2.0

PerfectSo easy and intuitive to use. Perfect set of features for a positive birth experience! Lifesaver.Version: 2.0

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!.Version: 1.0

Positive “life” companyWhere to start? I’ve followed Siobhan since being introduced to her by watching the Michalaks and Louise Pentland, when I found out I was pregnant I felt insanely lucky as she was just about to release the PBC online course.. which both myself and my husband watched throughout my pregnancy. I had a WONDERFUL birth - even though it didn’t go “to plan” and I, 100%, believe this is down to the lessons we learnt. When this app was released, I’d already had my baby - but I downloaded it straight away... I just knew that it would come in handy one day and I that I needed to show my support to the woman behind the brand. I was lucky enough to meet Siobhan at a book signing - and I took along my bundle of joy along to meet her. I was so happy to find out that she is every bit as lovely in person as she is online... 🥰 I’m looking forward to using this app throughout my next labour and cannot wait to resign up to the online course. ❤️.Version: 2.0

The BEST app for giving birth!!I have just had my third child. I used this app for my second and third (wish I had known about hynobirthing for my first). The Freya app really affected my experience. I had to be induced by having my waters broken and whilst I waited patiently for surges to start/progress I used Freya to meditate, breath and remind me of what my body could do - whilst my husband had a nap!! The app is SO easy to use and I love that you can easily mute/unmute the talking when you want to. I LOVED the positive affirmations and it helped me to repeat these and remind myself of what my body can do. The voice of Freya is really gentle and soft too. When the app congratulated me for being in established labour I handed my phone to my husband who was then in charge of timing the surges and helping me through, he loved it too. I would really recommend this app to ANYONE, it is truly brilliant and so easy to use and helpful, I honestly don’t know what I would have done without it. Thank you Positive Birth Company for creating it!!.Version: 6.0.1

BEST contraction timer!So soothing, feels like you have a virtual doula with you, guiding you through each contraction. It helped me feel so at peace during my surges..Version: 2.0

Excellent app for a bargain price!I purchased the PBC Digital Pack and found it amazingly helpful and informative so I was really excited when I heard about this app and immediately purchased it too. I am not at all disappointed and it has all the features that I could wish for. I haven’t used it for labour yet as I’m due in a couple of weeks but, having played around with it, I’m pleased that it seems really easy to use and navigate your way around, a must for in the midst of labour! I like it so much that we actually purchased it twice, both on my phone and on my husband’s. I love that you can choose to have the background music on or off and that the up-breathing counting can be changed from 4-8 to 3-6. I also like the fact that you can easily change the mp3 tracks that you listen to between surges and there is a good selection of positive affirmations and relaxation scripts so things hopefully won’t become repetitive during a longer labour. The timer seems v easy to use whilst experiencing a surge as the place to press on the screen is large and can’t really be missed and I imagine that the expanding circle will give me something to focus on as a distraction. I also think this will be a great reassurance of when to contact the hospital. I am really impressed by this app and think it’s an absolute bargain for the price. I also love the PBC so much that I have also just purchased the postpartum pack! If you haven’t already, but the packs as well!.Version: 2.0

Ajo11CamBrilliant app for timing contractions. I only knew I was in active labor because the app told me. The breathing exercises were pleasant and calm..Version: 4.0.1

The perfect app for birth and relaxationI found out about the Freya app through the positive birth company digital pack and both were absolutely worth every dollar. After reading so many positive birth stories of people who used the freya app throughout their birth experience I figured I’d give it a try. Even my doula uses it and loves it for breathing exercises! The positive affirmations are so wonderful as well. It’s not too much or too little, it’s the perfect blend. I’m glad I have something to track surges too so I know when I need to call my doctor. Thank you for making this app. I really do love it and recommend to everyone- even if you’re not pregnant.Version: 2.0

Wouldn’t birth without it!This app honestly kept me sane during my labour. For context it was decided I would have an induction where I could have a pessary and come home and they told me to expect it to start working within 6-12 hours and if nothing to go back the following day. Well 2 hours later came strong contractions (my body was more than ready 🙈) and soon was every 2-3 minutes so I had to go back to the hospital quick! My labour was so quick the midwife couldn’t open my notes and I didn’t have time to open my very organised hospital bag or get changed! Although it was quick this app kept me focused and in control of my labour & I only used a small bit of gas and air! Compared to my first birth where I had all sorts. I can’t delete the app as I know if we have another baby I’ll definitely need it!!!.Version: 2.0

Perfect timing!!!The app is in the best possible way basic - it offers everything you could need during labour to take you through the experience and it is very easy to operate! It times your breathing for you, so you and birth partner can focus on staying in the zone. It times your surges also and tells you when it is time to talk to your hospital/midwife. When you are not guided through the breathing pattern during a surge Freya offers relaxation ‘speech’ to make sure you are staying in the green zone - alternatively you can mute her (how rude ;) and listen to your chosen music :) I love it and for me this has just come in term for my families big day - the birth of our first born :))))))) thanks PBC!!!.Version: 1.0

Beautiful companion to birthI’m expecting my first child and like many women, I’ve been through that initial fear of labour and birth. But this app is a beautiful companion to such a monumental event in our lives. I’ve waited 9 years for this baby to appear and have always wanted to hypnobirth. My husband will be with me but if he needs to leave the room and I experience a surge, I don’t have to panic about counting my breathing right. Also, if I begin labour while he’s at work, I’d have found it hard to experience the surges whilst counting their length and how far they were apart on my own. This app takes away all that stress and concern. If you’ve done the Positive Birth Company’s hypnobirthing course then this is a must, as Siobhan’s voice is so familiar and reassuring. But if you haven’t, you won’t regret spending the £2.99. It’s invaluable to us birthing mothers and I can’t recommend it highly enough xxx.Version: 1.0

Love it!Love the app so far, particularly how easy it is to use! Can’t wait to use it with baby 2 due in just a few weeks..Version: 2.0

Nice try but…Great for some but labour is more painful than I ever predicted, had to be induced and then I got pain killers and an epidural and then a C Section, so if you can do this, amazing but I can’t get my $5 back, totally didn’t work but very nice try <3 <3.Version: 4.0.1

Amazing app for a positive labor experienceI attended the positive birth company digital course which really helped me prepare mentally for labor and this app is just as good! It calmed me down and helped me stay focused during labor. I have recommended it to all my friends!.Version: 2.0

Just what I neededI’ve been so excited to get this app, I’ve nearly finished the online course, I’m due early April. I’ve been worried about trying to managed all the relaxing techniques at once. I had the relaxing tools saved to my home screen plus another app for timing surges, so you can imagine my relief when you came up with an app that did everything in one. I can’t wait to use this during my labour, I’m sure it will be very helpful in keeping me on the right tracks. I can just pop in my ear phones and get into the zone. One thing that maybe helpful to have on the app is a way of changing the relaxation audio, it would be nice to have different ones to listen and choose from. But a massive thank you to the positive birth company for helping me see child birth in a whole new light, I really am looking forward to birth of my baby, and feel even more equipped to do so now..Version: 1.0

Best app I’ve ever purchasedThis app helped me to have the most relaxed and peaceful labour with my daughter 13 months ago and since then I have recommended it to every pregnant friend/vague acquaintance I know! I did the online PBC course during pregnancy and this was the perfect addition. I was able to stay at home comfortably for the first 16 hours of labour, of which I used this for the later half, mostly in the bath. The midwives were impressed by how calm and progressed I was when I arrived at the birth centre. It gave me the confidence to trust my body on the right time to go in, meaning that when I arrived we didn’t have any slowing down, which I had been warned of, as things were going so well. I also took a screenshot of the app’s data after she was born, as a memory of that special time we had bringing her into this world, before life changed forever! It’s hard to think of another app on my phone which has enhanced my life so much. You may only use it for a few hours, but the memories of your birth are with you forever and mine are so beautiful and calm. Forever grateful for hypnobirthing and PBC. Haven’t felt as relaxed since, 1 year olds are hard work 🤪.Version: 2.0

Great relaxation aidWorks great for aiding relaxation and the updates that enable you to change the playlist is a big improvement. Love Freya.Version: 2.0

Natural birth, first childThis, 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!!!.Version: 1.0.1

Game changer!This app was instrumental in helping me have a natural, calm birth. I recommend it to everyone wishing for the same..Version: 2.0

Invaluable!!Just delivered my 3rd child but this is the first I used this app or hypnobirthing and I am now their biggest fan! I delivered without intervention but this app would be valuable no matter what path you choose. The peace the recordings provided was exactly what I needed while trying to turn my baby from sunny side up during labor. The focus, motivation and positive encouragement was so impactful. Thank you so much!!!.Version: 4.0.1

Would be better if you could easily pause the talking and leave the music playingWould be better if you could easily pause the talking and leave the music playing..Version: 4.0.1

You NEED this app!I had my fourth baby this past October and used the Freya app throughout the entirety of my labor and delivery! It’s easy to use and guides you through your surges. Her voice is relaxing and calm and the music is too! This app is amazing and so are the Hypnobirthing classes and videos! Everything I learned from The Positive Birth Company helped me to have the most amazing, positive birth! Highly, highly recommend! You won’t be disappointed!.Version: 2.0

So good!! Best app purchase everWell worth the price and beyond. I love the affirmations and music and the breath counter! I’m sure the surge timer will really come in handy too. So far I’m using it for birth prep so I’ll have to update my review after baby arrives but I love how it’s all in one..Version: 3.0.1

I feel more prepared for my baby's birth for having itAs a first time mum I've been trying to get myself as ready as possible to give birth. I've been reading books, listening to podcasts, going to yoga classes and I've been watching the Positive Birth Company's Digital Pack. Freya is a spin-off from the course, but I think it would still be really useful even if you haven't seen it, as it's very easy to understand. It's more than a surge (contraction) timer: I really like the guided meditations (particularly Golden Light of Strength), and I'll be using them through the rest of my pregnancy, and beyond, not just when I'm in labour. The narrator's voice is soothing and I find the background music very relaxing and spa-like. I also like the breathing exercises for during surges, particularly the visuals and the fact that you can choose 4-8 or 3-6. The visuals and the colours all feel well-thought-out and calming. I'm looking forward to putting Freya to the test for real in a couple of months' time, and I feel more prepared for my baby's birth for having it on my phone!.Version: 2.0

Amazing app-got me calmly to 10cmThe FREYA app is a must have for your pregnancy and labour. This was my 4th baby and I had never used it before. It absolutely changed my experience of labour for the better. I got calmly to 10cm using the app and only switched it off for the pushing stage. I loved the meditations, particularly the positive affirmations and used it in the lead up to my labour when anxious. Also, the counting function was awesome in labour and I loved that you could change it to 3 and 6. Would 100% recommend!!.Version: 4.0.1

Amazing birth companion!After completing the PBC online digital pack (which I also cannot recommend enough) I downloaded Freya while in labour. It was so intuitive to use I could easily use it despite having surges and never using the app before. It was a fast birth and Freya was so easy to use to record all my surges, informing me when I was in established labour and guiding my breathing through each surge. I found the visual very calming and it gave me something to focus on. The relaxation tracks were amazing, again, helping with visualisations and maintaining a positive mindset. It really is so simple but so effective and helped me have a drug free, euphoric birthing experience! I have completed other hypnobirthing methods before but I found the PBC was the best and most effective..Version: 2.0

Such a helpful app!After doing the Hypnobirthing pack I was so happy to find this app! It takes all of the things we’ve learned and puts it all in one spot and is such a great way to practice leading up to birth. I’m 34 weeks and it has been great to practice up breathing with Siobhan counting before listening to my relaxation mp3s without having to download each individual file. The music is relaxing but I’m also excited that I can play my own music while I listen to the mp3s as well. Definitely helping me get more and more excited to meet our baby. And the app is also just aesthetically pleasing and well done!.Version: 5.0
