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.

Amazing hypnobirthing surge timer

I 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!

Game changer

This 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!

Freya app- invaluable

I 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.
