20 Reasons Why The GentleBirth App is the Best Hypnobirthing App

20 Reasons Why The GentleBirth App is the Best Hypnobirthing App

Many Pregnancy Apps are just Hypnobirthing Audio Players

There are so many pregnancy apps available and now there’s also hypnobirthing apps, however most are just hypnobirthing audio players with a selection of Mp3s that are focused on one type of birth – unmedicated (drug free/natural). If you’re ready to add a hypnobaby to your family with the best hypnobirthing content you can find - start today. No matter how your baby arrives on the day you’ll never regret the time you spent marinading your baby in the soothing loving hormones of oxytocin instead of the stress hormones of anxiety. If your plans don’t include an epidural (and you don’t need one in labor), if you have a straightforward quick birth that handful of resources might be enough. But if this is your first baby or have experienced birth trauma in the past - you may need more tools in your toolkit (especially if you’re planning an unmedicated, natural birth).

GentleBirth is not a Pregnancy Tracking App - it's much more!

GentleBirth is hands down the best pregnancy app available. Yes of course I’m biased but I challenge you to find another pregnancy tracking app that includes the content, features, technology and support that comes with the GentleBirth app. It’s not a pregnancy tracker app - it’s a stress reducing, happiness increasing, fear eliminating digital companion from that BFP through the first year postpartum.

Sometimes birth can unpredictable, some moms have no choice in how or where they birth and happily choose an epidural or a planned cesarean - but that’s a big no-no for some Hypnobirthing organizations. 

Not GentleBirth. It’s one of the many reasons why so many parents call GentleBirth a ‘game changer’.

More Tools in Your Toolkit

 You would never only practice one yoga pose for labor, or one position for birth – so why would you only practice one skill to prepare for your baby’s birth? GentleBirth has evolved to include tools/strategies that are inclusive of all birth choices (and newborn feeding choices) and our content is updated regulary.

If we’ve met you’ll know I have a hard time tooting my own horn but I say this with great humility and quiet confidence that the GentleBirth App is head and shoulders ahead of every other birth preparation app available today and here’s why.

What Do You Get in the Best Hypnobirthing App? 

  1. You get it free for 7 days and get to try out some of our 140 hypnobirthing and meditation audio training sessions. (Traditional Hypnobirthing doesn’t teach mindfulness - it’s a very different skill). We’ve also included the best contraction timer app too!

  2. You get automatic daily hypnobirthing audio training and mindfulness recommendations based on your due date. So if you’re 8 weeks or 38 weeks your ‘training’ changes based on what day you’re on. Unlike other hypnobirthing apps we’ve tailored everything to your changing pregnancy - no listening to the same few Mp3s over and over for months on end.

  3. You get a full Hypnobirthing Masterclass included in your subscription with over 8 hrs of comprehensive childbirth education + a 3 hour online breastfeeding class + a ‘mini’ Masterclass for busy partners + a one of a kind ‘labor pain and the brain class’. Dip in and out as you get closer to your guess date, you have unlimited access to this video class.

  4. You get the app for free for 1 year if you are an Irish Life Health member. If your private health insurance provider isn’t making the app freely available to you ask why not.

  5. You get a 300+ page book in the App to guide you through the program and a workbook.

  6. You get me – a Registered Midwife. (Over the years my family have graciously adjusted to sharing me (digitally) with parents around the world). No other Hypnobirthing app provides parents with this kind of specialist support – inbox me anytime.

  7. You get your partner involved (hypno & meditation for female and male birth partners). They have their own unique stressors during this time and in the postpartum weeks so I’ve created content specifically for the important people in your life too.

  8. You get more control over your birth options and your experience. GentleBirth will help you craft your birth preferences confidently with or without medication.

  9. You get hypnobirthing content  tailored to your guess date and your unique circumstances (planned cesarean, low lying placenta, bed rest, birth with an epidural, VBAC, TWINS, postpartum, breastfeeding, pregnancy loss, planning a pregnancy).

  10. You get to feel more positive about labor.

  11. You get more sleep (don’t believe me - try the Sleep Sanctuary tonight).

  12. You get affirmations.

  13. You get a playlist of effective breathing techniques.

  14. Of course get hypnobirthing but you also get pregnancy meditations that you can easily fit into your day.

  15. You get sport psychology (learn the strategies of elite athletes).

  16. You get to start even BEFORE you’re pregnant or the MOMENT you get that positive test. Stress in early pregnancy can impact your wellbeing and your baby’s as it’s during this time that your baby’s organs are forming. Changing how you respond to stress early in pregnancy reduces anxiety in those first few weeks. (We’ve just launched the best fertility app too!)

  17. You get a dedicated HelpDesk for any non birthy questions for our tech support. Hit me up with any pregnancy/birth/breastfeeding questions or post on our Facebook group community or Instagram.

  18. You get a community – have you joined our little Facebook community of 20,000 members? You can never read too many positive birth stories!

  19. You get CBT.  (Simple ways to challenge the way you think about birth).

  20. You get happier!  By combining all of the above during your pregnancy you’ll enjoy your pregnancy more and are less likely to experience mood concerns after your baby arrives.
