A Hypnobirthing: Zen Pregnancy

I like the update. I like that I can do my program without being “late” to a class and having to reschedule. I like that it can be done on my own time and I can switch programs if I want to. I haven’t gotten to fully utilize the app and appreciate the rest, as I have gotten kicked out and can’t get back in, though! When I try to open, it shuts off immediately. I have deleted the app and reinstalled a few times and powered off my phone with no luck. I also dislike paying for something that I can’t use. I understand there will be glitches, so I am just hoping it gets fixed ASAP!

I had been listening to this for a few weeks before I went into labor. It really helped me focus my mind on the right things for labor and birth and helped me look forward to meeting my baby. I experienced the most calm, positive empowering labor and delivery and I really believe this app helped. It helped me feel strong and capable. I had no fear at all which I believe helped minimize the “pain” that I would describe more as slight discomfort. This really helped me see the power of renewing my mind in the word and how that impacts our experiences. Totally recommend this for anyone wanting a calm, empowering birth experience.

I tested a few other similar apps before deciding to purchase this one. The women's voices are very soothing and relaxing, almost angelic. I have been listening almost daily for about 2 weeks now (I'm currently 29 weeks along) and have noticed that I feel more relaxed and carry less tension in my body since beginning the sessions. I usually listen to the hypnotic birthing track before bed, and find I sleep better from doing so. However, I do think it is more effective when I listen to it during the day and stay awake for the whole session. The daily affirmations and better sleep track are also wonderful. My breathing has improved and my son has moved into a head-down position just this week. No way to say that this app deserves all the credit for these changes, but I definitely feel like it is improving my overall mental and physical preparation for birth. My first birth was a traumatic, preterm birth via c-sec at 33 weeks after myself and consequently my son caught an infection. This second pregnancy I am much more cognizant of my limitations and am taking steps to be kind and gentle to my body as I prepare physically and mentally for what I hope will be a successful VBAC. I will try to remember to update my review after birth to let you know how it goes. :)
