Freya • Surge Timer: User Reviews & Ratings in United Kingdom App Store

5 out of 5

First time mum

Purchased after completing the Positive Birth Company digital hypnobirthing pack. The app helped me breathe through contractions
from 3pm all the way to 1am and know when I was ready to get to the hospital! The positive affirmations each day were so great to
get me in the right headspace.

Amazing

I had my last 3/5 babies using this company and the difference in my births has been amazing. The surge counter helps you at home
in the latent phase. Each time I traveled to hospital I was 6-7cm and coping fab. Cant recommend this whole package enough.

Brilliant!

I used the PBC for both labours but the app wasn’t available with my first birth. It was a brilliant help with the second. I’d
100% recommend.

Amazing app

Used throughout my contractions. Very helpful that I could use my Apple Watch too. Helped that it keeps a log of your contractions
so I could show the midwife when I arrived at the hospital. Would definitely use again and would highly recommend

PBC has your back in birth!

Surge timer was amazing, breathing exercises were amazing, online course and book were both amazing. Absolute godsend for a first
time mum. Now preggo again and will be pulling all of these out of my toolkit again! Thank you!!

Game changer for a painless birth

The breathing techniques and audio included in the app helped me tremendously with controlling the surges and breath through them
basically relaxing me so much that I had a pretty much painless labour! Thank you Siobhan & the team!

This helped a lot

This appp is god sent! It helped me through early labour until 5cm and I couldn’t handle the pain but I never thought I would
get to 5cm with just Hypnobirthing.

Loved Freya

I used the meditations in the couple of weeks before delivery and all through labour. I found the breathing counting really
helpful during surges and the music and narration really peaceful. It played for all 27 hours of my labour! Highly recommend.

Best birthing purchase

I couldn’t have got through my early labour (alone!) without this app. It felt like I had someone holding my hand through
everything and helped me feel in control. I have recommended to everyone I know expecting! So grateful to have had this 🤍

A must have for labour!

This app is amazing. I particularly liked the spoken relaxation function of this app. I had a long old labour and this got me
through the majority of it with minimal pain relief. Would recommend to everyone!

Helpful app

This app was great for timing of contractions.
I just needed to hit the button to start timing then I was able to focus on breathing through my contractions. The voice was very
soothing and comforting too. So helpful during labour!

Best app for hypnobirthing

I used the Freya app during my labor and it was a game changer to remain relaxed and be able to control my breathing during the
surges. I felt amazing during my labour and as a result it was a quick and natural delivery. I recommend this app to anyone who is
planning to do hypnobirthing.

Great app for labour

I loved having the Freya app during labour. The calm counting for the breathing helped with early surges. I found the affirmations
& relaxation tracks really calming. The surge timer was so helpful to identify patterns. Highly recommend this app and such a
reasonable price!

I’d buy this ten times over!

This app helped me in late stages of pregnancy and was my rock through labour. Couldn't have done it without Freya. Should be an
essential on everyones birth prep list!!

Almost perfect

I am enjoying using this app for practising the breathing rhythm and the medications (currently 38 weeks). However, I do wish I
could practise the down breathing too. Perhaps a ‘practise mode’ would be helpful…

Excellent app

This was brill during my first labour and birth and looking forward to using the updated version second time round!

A must in supporting your labour journey

This app was just brilliant, the sounds/music and talking provide excellent relaxation, almost hypnotic, helping you to remain
calm during the build up to labour and the contraction counter gives you a great visual and breathing help to keep an eye on
things. One of the best things I’ve bought

An absolute life saver

Such a useful tool whilst having contractions at home - focuses the mind whilst concentrating on breathing techniques.

Went on to have a quick birth with 0 painkillers!

Really useful

I used this through early stages of labour and it was very useful to have. Gave me an clear idea of how long my surges were. I was
induced so it all happened quite quickly. The guided breathing was really helpful.

Used until my baby arrived

Freya was the best thing to have throughout labour and birth. I used the app from initial twinges right through until my baby
arrived. The counting kept me focused whilst contracting and reassured me to trust my body. Hands down the best money I spent in
pregnancy

you need this for labour

I bought this 2 weeks ago and gave birth on the 3rd July, this kept me calm and focussed and able to labour at home up to 5cm!
Thank you for this app it worked wonders for me!

Amazing

Used this app throughout my pregnancy and labour. It was amazing. Really helped me to focus and breath. Would recommend it to
everyone!

A must have!

Helped me keep calm and helped me feel like my contractions were manageable. My contractions were very strong after induction, but
the music and being guided really helped!

Positive birthing experience

I used Freya throughout my labour and was able to have a VBAC in around 10 hours compared to my first labour which was very
stressful and lasted over 2 days. Will be using for next pregnancy and birth too

Good app

Currently in labour… enjoying the app and very relaxing. One thing that would be really helpful is if you gave the average time
between ‘surge’ and average length of ‘surge’ - this is what midwives ask for when you initially call triage.

5 out of 5

Highly recommended

Absolutely essential tool for my labour. I relied on this entirely and was able to birth my baby with no additional pain relief by
focusing on my breath. A great addition to the PBC online Hypnobirthing course.

5 out of 5

Must Have!

I recommend this app to anyone who is pregnant. It really helped focus me during labour and was great for practising techniques
while I relaxed in the bath in the lead up. Easy to use and doesn’t over complicate things!

An essential item / app for your hospital bag!

Highly recommend this app - used it on Wednesday for the arrival of my little boy to help with my breathing. It turned out to be
vital and the main thing that got us through. So pleased i discovered it in time! Thanks The Positive Birth Company x

Excellent

This app got me through induction. From pessary in to 10cm dilation in 9 hrs. I was on my own just listening to the app and
breathing through surges following app guidance. No painkillers. Thank you for inventing!

Best tool ever!!!

I used the Freya app with my first baby. I ended up being induced and used this app for my entire Labour. It helped me do my only
job - breathe! My son came into the world with a natural Labour, no drugs. Highly recommend.

Disappointing

Disappointing that the music is louder than the voice over in the relaxation section. It makes it hard to hear what is being said
and follow the suggestions for relaxation
