Release Date: February 8, 2019

Meet Freya, the world’s first hypnobirthing-friendly birth timer, brought to you by The Positive Birth Company. This award-winning birth timer supports you through labour, coaching you through every single surge (or contraction) with a simple breathing technique and guided relaxations.

Put hypnobirthing techniques into practice during pregnancy, labour and childbirth
Relax between surges with a mix of guided relaxations, positive affirmations, gentle music and calming visualisations
Birth timer that keeps track of surges, logging each surge or contraction so you can see how frequently they are coming and how long they are lasting
Receive a notification from Freya when your labour is established and it might be a good time to call your midwife
Use Freya during pregnancy to practice breathing techniques and relaxation
Available in French, German, Portuguese, Spanish and Italian

Never birth alone with Freya by your side.

TRACK YOUR SURGES
In hypnobirthing we refer to contractions as surges, because a ‘surge’ more accurately describes the sensation you’ll experience when in labour. Freya is the ONLY hypnobirthing-friendly contraction timer on the app store, designed specifically with hypnobirthing mums in mind, using appropriate terminology, but can be used by anyone. If you would like to know more about Hypnobirthing, follow The Positive Birth Company on Instagram or Tik Tok where we share loads of free resources to make your birth better.

PREPARE FOR BIRTH
You can use this birth timer in pregnancy to help you relax and prepare for childbirth. In fact the more you practice your breathing and listen to the guided relaxations and positive affirmations, the more familiar they will become and the more effective they will be at helping you relax when it comes to birth. Positive affirmations have been proven to change the way your mind works and listening regularly will help you feel less anxious and more confident in the lead up to birth. You can practice daily and then reset the surge history whenever you like.

THE SCIENCE
We know the more relaxed you are during birth, the more oxytocin you will produce. Oxytocin helps your uterus to work efficiently, making labour faster and more comfortable.

LIFESKILLS
Freya can be used for pregnancy and post-birth relaxation, any time you feel you could benefit from taking some deep breaths or need some help finding your zen. Everything you learn - mindfulness exercises and breathing techniques - are skills for life.

If you have any questions or spot any pesky bugs lurking about the place please do let us know at hello@thepositivebirthcompany.com

WHAT YOU’LL GET:
- iPhone and Apple Watch app
- Timer to record your surges (also known as a contraction timer) and let you know when you’re in established labour
- Coaching audio to keep your mind focused on breathing through each surge and the ability to switch between 4 and 8 breath counts or 3 and 6, or turn the counting off altogether.
- 4 different birth coach voices
- Guided relaxations, positive affirmations and soothing visuals to help keep you relaxed between surges
- A gentle expanding visualisation that you can use to sync your breathing
- Option to record your own music, visualisations or relaxation tracks
- You can listen to your own playlist on a third party app (such as Spotify) whilst still using the Freya app to keep track of your surges and coach you through each one.
- A detailed log of your surges over time, so you can track your progress through labour, reset this after you practice breathwork at any time
- Ability to easily share the log with your birth partner, midwife or doula
- Coaching created by renowned hypnobirthing expert Siobhan Miller, founder of The Positive Birth Company

Download the ONLY hypnobirthing-friendly birth timer on the App Store and prepare to meet your baby in the best possible way, feeling calm and confident, relaxed and happy!

Hear My Baby Heart beat App - Fat Cigar Productions Ltd

Hear My Baby Heart beat App
Fat Cigar Productions Ltd
Genre: Medical
Price: £5.99
Release Date: June 1, 2016

Pregnant? This is for YOU!
Hear My Baby is the leading app since 2018, allows you to use just your iPhone microphone to record and share your baby’s beat sounds. It is the best-in-class, has over 5000 5* ratings, is super simple and safe to use. Supports Apple Airpods and Bluetooth Headphones.

"It took some time and patience... thank you for creating this cheap, awesome technology to use at home." - Niki

Category #1 in the USA and 102 other countries. Here's why...

Developed by parents like you (with expertise in sound engineering and apps) who wanted a trustworthy way to record our baby's fetal sounds (kicks, heart beat etc.) - and keep a record of a quality that we hadn't been able to find before in other apps. Extensively tested on expectant mothers with over 450,000 downloads since launch!

"I was skeptical at first. Great app! Worth it." - Legretta

**** But honestly, does it actually work?? ****
Yes. We've sound-engineered ways to attempt to isolate the baby's heart beat, sounds (kicks, heartbeat and more) and using an advanced algorithm, amplify them making them easier to detect and hear.

NOTE: It takes time, technique and patience and depends on the position and number of weeks of your baby so you'll need to stick with it. When you do, our results are excellent. Results are best between 27-40 weeks as your baby is bigger and stronger.

We constantly improve our extensive tutorial and techniques to handhold you through - we even have a support group on Facebook to help.

We want you to be happy with Hear My Baby heartbeat and to monitor results can sometimes be difficult. If you are struggling (can't find your own heartbeat etc.) DO contact us via support. We want to help you!

GIFT THIS APP: Click the “Buy App” arrow on the iTunes® App Store

FAQs

**** No Accessories Required ****
We use the internal microphone from your phone to attempt to listen and record your fetal sound. We recommend Bluetooth Headphones for best results.

**** How It Works ****
1. Hear My Baby, has been precisely engineered to listen to abdominal sounds, then record and amplify them. Listen to your own heartbeat first to confirm the app is set up correctly.
2. It works best when baby is head down and their back is facing forwards.
3. Remove the case, be in a very quiet room and focus on your lower abdomen. Listen then Tap record.
4. Our simple recording management helps you to keep a record of your special moment
5. Take a selfie if you wish and share
6. We'll walk you through exactly how to get the best baby heartbeat results.

**** Easy Share Feature ****
Sharing is awesome you can opt to share via Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram or email.

**** We Care About Your Privacy ****
We take your privacy and special moment seriously. You decide who sees or hears it and can delete it at any time.

**** Before you start... ****
You DO need to carefully follow the instructions for Hear My Baby to work. A quiet room is critical for results as the mic is super sensitive. HMB doesn't fake the baby heartbeat or other fetal sounds :)

Please Note: results are normally superb, however the recording may not work if your placenta is at the front of the tummy or the baby is in the wrong position.

**** Supported Phones ****
15, 14, 13,12, X, Xs, 11, 11 Pro, 8, 7, 7+, SE, 6. We don't support iPad.

**** Worried about safety? We are too! ***
HMB is safe but to be extra sure DO switch your iPhone to airplane mode. This is a precaution and automatically stops all cellular transmissions.

**** Is it a substitute for medical devices/support? ****
No - under no circumstances is HMB a substitute for medical support - if you don't get a result it doesn't mean anything is wrong :) Consult your doctor for any advice. We are NOT approved by the FDA. This is not a medical device and is not a medical baby heartbeat monitor. It is for FUN.

Please do check our T&Cs before downloading.
