Mindful Birth

Created by award-winning antenatal, hypnobirthing and postnatal course provider, The Mindful Birth Group®, the My Mindful Midwife® app is the only pregnancy app that allows you to choose your birth preference (vaginal or abdominal 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

Key information and milestones about your baby's and your body's development
See what size your baby is in relation to our simple but beautiful hand drawn sketches which aim to make you smile rather than be scientifically accurate
Positive affirmations to support your mindset along the way

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

WHAT TO EXPECT ON THE BIRTH-DAY
Knowledge can have an incredible impact on how calm and in control we feel. These informational audios will help to take out many of the unknowns that come with experiencing early labour or abdominal birth for the first time 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 WAVE (CONTRACTION) TIMER
Track your waves (contractions) on a hypnobirthing friendly, oxytocin supporting timer
Choose to upload your own personal oxytocin-friendly background picture or use our calming wave animation to support you through your waves
Share the log with your health care provider and gauge when active labour is starting
