Freya • Surge Timer

Couldn’t recommend this app enough, I had a fantastic birthing experience due to this. Don’t hesitate buy it 👍🏼👍🏼

I couldn’t recommend this app enough. I don’t think I would have had the fast And relaxed birth without it. Siobhan’s soothing voice helped me stay focused on my breathing and staying calm. The positive affirmations were so supportive as I laboured on my own for awhile. It’s a really easy app to use. There’s no fiddly bits to it. If you are going to buy anything for yourself for your labour this is it. And her course is amazing too!

I don’t know how I would have managed without it, the birth of my son was just like a dream, and I know it would have been a disaster if I hadn’t be aware of the breathing techniques (which I still use in daily life) and all the positive thoughts. I want to recommend it to every single pregnant woman out there!

This app so desperately needed to exist. What an amazing tool to have going into labour. Really really helped for me in the early stages of labour to get me focused and relaxed as well as being able to accurately time my contractions so nothing was left to guesswork. So user friendly!

I found the Freya app really helpful during labour in timing contractions. The positive birth company online course was absolutely brilliant, particularly the breathing exercises. I credit it for making my labour experience a positive one as it allowed me to feel in control at all times.

I truly attribute a huge component of my positive birth experience to this app. It allowed me to dilate to 10cm and push our little girl out with no analgesia and kept me calm through very intense back labour. An absolute must !! Thank you thank you positive birth company

Freya kept me calm through labour and it was brilliant to be able to time contractions while listening to calming affirmations and having something to focus my breathing... this would have taken three separate apps before but Freya has it all in one!

I down loaded this after listening to the audiobook, I was really nee to give birth as this is my first baby. My waters went at midnight and I gave birth completely naturally with no pain relief, no gas and air no paracetamol at 7.52am the next morning. Blocking out everyone and just listening to the counting for the breathing was absolutely the one thing that helped me keep calm and let my body do what it needed. My husband was my advocate and knew I didn’t want pain relief, so every-time I was asked if I wanted it he would answer for me and I just concentrated on my breathing and resting as much as I could in this speedy labour!!

The breathing reminders, affirmations, and surge timer were so helpful and I used them all. If you’re planning a vaginal birth, definitely recommend this as an essential!

This is my second time using this App - for the birth of my second baby a few days ago and it was immensely helpful all over again. I used it to relax and listen to positive affirmations in the run up to my due date when I was due a planned induction for medical reasons. It helped me manage my stress and anxieties and feel confident in my body and calm. I used it to distract and calm myself so I could get some rest on the busy induction ward once my partner had left for the night. Once my labour had started I used it to time contractions whilst listening to a mixture of the background music and my own music in Spotify (brilliant feature). One improvement would be if you could control your own music volume/skip song via Freya rather than having to switch between Apps which was a little distracting/frustrating mid-contraction. I found it so helpful to have something to focus on and guide my breathing. When I felt myself losing control/panicking, it brought me back in control. Like my last induction, the midwives couldn’t believe how far along I was as I looked “so chilled” and I think the App really helped me cope so well. I declined any pain relief apart from having 2 paracetamol (gas and air doesn’t suit me) - I didn’t wobble from this decision as I felt well supported with the App and my breathing. The midwives were amazed and I felt so proud of myself. Thank you so much PBC!
