Best hypnobirthing app?

[Cathays]

I did hypnobirthing classes for my first birth and it was wonderful. Going to have a top up this time, but I'd like an app I can listen to easily on my phone/iPad, rather than the CDs. Any recommendations please? There are so many to choose from! I'd like one with a British accent if poss, I need to tame my inner cynic and find a familiar accent helps.

Id be super interested in this too! 😁

I asked this a while ago and got no response really. I’ve tried a few apps but haven’t liked them. I’ve managed to find my Marie mongan tracks in an old iPad. You could try and buy the cd on eBay and upload to your phone?

Good idea, Loz. I have tried the iHypnobirth Lite which was good for a day but is now crashing, loathe to buy the full version as the reviews say it crashes.

I got a free trial on Amazon Audio and downloaded Sophie Fletcher’s Hypnobirthing book. I find some of it useful, it might have been better if I had got it earlier on, I got it when I was nearly 37 weeks and I’m 39 weeks tomorrow. I’m also a ftmtb so have nothing to compare to

I used Maggie Howell’s Natal Hypnotherapy. The mp3 cost £10 and I played it from my iphone. Here’s the website - www.natalhypnotherapy.co.uk/shop/Effective-Birth-Preparation-1.html

I would really recommend it and would definitely use it again if we have another DC.

That's great! Do you think it would apply to home births too?

Hypnobirthing is hypnobirthing @Hulaballoo . I had my first in hospital and my second at home. Having the one at home too, it’ll put you in control. Go for it!

Definitely the Maggie Howell mp3

Hulaballoo I think once you have learnt the techniques and breathing exercises then you can apply it anywhere. I’ve read some people say they practiced hypnotherapy hoping for a ‘natural’ birth but ended up needing intervention/c-section and the hypnotherapy still helped them in that situation

Just checking, I used a different hypnobirthing cd at home with my 2nd DD (7 years ago) but I've lost my cd... The website mentioned a load of different CDs for different venues so wasnt sure if it was quite specific or not 😁

Just found there is a specific one for homebirthing on their website www.natalhypnotherapy.co.uk/cgi-bin/sh000001.pl?WD=hypnobirthing%20home&PN=Effective%2dHome%2dBirth%2ehtml#a9781910756461

Great tips all. I will keep scouting for an app as I find it's such a faff syncing the phone to the computer. My god, there's a gap in the market if there are any hypnobirthing app developers reading this! If I can't find anything good I'll try the Maggie Howell, thanks Hulaballoo
