Created by award-winning antenatal, hypnobirthing and postnatal course provider, The Mindful Birth Group®, the Mindful Birth app is the only pregnancy app that allows you to choose your birth preference (vaginal or caesarean birth) and see information tailored to your preference and due time. If you change your mind at any time during your pregnancy, simply switch your preference on your profile page.
The unique mindful design will help you stay present in each week as you grow your baby and look forward to meeting them with this fully customisable app. All births and paths to pregnancy are supported through the inclusive features, design and language used.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
WEEKLY UPDATES
Customise your updates with your baby’s nickname and then find out what’s happening week by week with:
• Key information and milestones about your baby’s and your body’s development
• See what size your baby is in relation to our beautifully drawn sketches
• Positive affirmations to support your mindset along the way
WHAT TO EXPECT ON THE BIRTH-DAY
Knowledge can promote feelings of calm and control. These informational audios will help to answer many questions you have about early labour or abdominal birth and ensure you feel much calmer and in control (letting oxytocin in and keeping adrenaline at bay).
• If you are planning a vaginal birth you will learn what the early signs of labour are and what to do when they happen
• If you are planning an abdominal birth, we will guide you through what happens right from the moment you arrive at hospital on the day, to meeting your baby
MINDFUL RELAXATION AUDIOS
Tailored to your birth preference, these positive affirmations and relaxation audios have been created by The Mindful Birth Group® to relieve any anxieties you may have around pregnancy and birth:
• Our positive affirmations are proven to help the brain to reframe birth in a positive way, and therefore promotes relaxation and calm however you meet your baby
• Listen to our deep relaxation audio during pregnancy before you go to sleep, and then during the birth (if you feel like it at the time) to help your mind and body relax
• One for the birth partners to calm any nerves as it’s important that they feel confident, calm and in control too
