Introducing Freya - Your Ultimate Hypnobirthing and Birth Preparation Companion
Meet Freya, your dedicated virtual birth partner brought to you by The Positive Birth Company. Designed to support expectant mothers through every stage of labor and beyond, Freya offers a uniquely hypnobirthing-friendly experience that empowers you to approach childbirth with confidence and calmness. Whether you're preparing for your baby's arrival or seeking relaxation techniques post-birth, Freya is your go-to app for soothing guided exercises and insightful tracking features.
How Freya Supports Your Birth Journey
This innovative app coaches you through each • surge or contraction using simple yet effective breathing techniques. During labor, the ability to stay relaxed is crucial, and Freya helps you achieve this by guiding you through calming visualizations, gentle music, and positive affirmations. These features work together to create a peaceful mental space, reducing anxiety and increasing your confidence as you approach childbirth.
Tracking and Monitoring Your Progress
One of Freya's standout features is its comprehensive • surge timer and log system. This allows you to effortlessly record each surge, noting its duration and frequency. You can access your detailed surge history anytime, which can be invaluable for discussing progress with your midwife or doula. Recent updates have enhanced this functionality by enabling you to choose between four different • birth coaches, import encouraging voice notes from friends and family, and even download your surge data after birth as a keepsake.
Designed Specifically for Hypnobirthing
Freya is the only contraction timer on the Play Store specifically tailored for those practicing hypnobirthing. Using appropriate terminology, the app refers to contractions as • surges—a term that fosters a more positive and manageable perception of labor. The app offers customizable breathing patterns, from 4-8 to a more relaxed 3-6 breaths, or even turning off counting entirely. This flexibility ensures that every user can personalize their experience to match their comfort level, making birth preparations more effective and less stressful.
Beyond Birth: Relaxation and Postnatal Support
Freya isn't just for labor—it can be used throughout pregnancy to help you relax and prepare mentally for birth. Regular listening to guided relaxations and positive affirmations trains your mind to stay calm in the lead-up to your due date. Proven to reduce anxiety, these audio exercises help stimulate the production of • oxytocin, the hormone that facilitates efficient and faster labor. After your baby arrives, Freya can be a mental health companion, guiding you through deep breaths whenever you need to find your zen amidst parenting challenges.
