Christian Hypnobirthing 12+

A friend told me about Christian Hypnobirthing when I was pregnant with my first child. Sometime during my third trimester, I started listening to the tracks as I went to bed. As I listened, I would calm down from the stress of the day as these truths centered my thoughts. Most nights, I would fall asleep in a matter of minutes! I slept so well. I listened to the tracks at other times, really trying to make sure I knew the positive affirmations in advance of labor. When my labor began and ramped up, I played the tracks non-stop all the way thru my baby girl’s birth! When the contractions were really intense and I started to give in to anxiety, my husband would repeat back some of the positive affirmations—he had been listening too. These truths were deep in my heart, so when my husband spoke them to me, it was like an arrow hitting its mark, and I calmed down immediately. Now I’m pregnant with my second child. My husband often encourages me to listen to my affirmations, because he knows how much this truth helps me. If u have trouble going to sleep, I just turn them on, and that’s the end of the story! I’m so thankful to have this resource to use myself and share with others. I’m also so grateful that the affirmations are Scripture based and therefore TRUE!

My first birth was long and hard. I wasn’t as prepared as I thought to do it naturally, especially mentally. I couldn’t relax between contractions and ended up getting an epidural. I’m super thankful I had a healthy baby girl, but wanted a different labor and birth experience the next time around. I used this app with my second. I listened to it before bed most nights starting in the second trimester. It really helped me pray through fear and align my heart with God’s for childbirth. My water broke a few days after my due date and contractions came fast! I turned my app on and focused on breathing and trusting the Lord and my body to do what it needed. I had a 45min drive to the hospital and it was miraculously much easier than I imagined as I listened to the hypnobirthing tracks and just kept breathing out “Jesus” during contractions. When I got to the hospital I was 9+ cm and rushed from triage to delivery! My labor was about 4 hours total and I know the Lord was with me in all of it, helping me relax and work with my body and baby. So thankful I found this app. Even beyond childbirth, I’ve become much better at deep breathing, meditating on scripture, activating a deep state of relaxation, and I sleep better when I use this app before bed!

I absolutely loved using this app during my pregnancy in preparation for my home birth in January. I read the Hypnobirthing book and really loved the ideas they presented but wasn’t sure if I would be able to do it, but this app really helped bridge the gap for me. I happened upon this app while searching for a Hypnobirthing app to learn more. It gave the scripture I needed to be able to be confident in my ability to do this. I used the techniques I learned through the book and this app during the 72 hours of prodromal labor prior to active labor beginning and then during actual labor. I can honestly say my labor never registered as being painful. There were times I would label as intense, but never painful. On January 13, 2019 at 11:38 pm, I gave birth to our third beautiful baby boy in our home after about 12 hours of active labor . It was the birth I had always dreamed of and I am now a firm believer that you can experience a natural birth without pain and that birth is not something to be feared. This was such a peaceful and beautiful experience that as soon as he was born, I wanted to do it all over again. My wish for every mother is to have a birth as calm and comfortable as mine was. Thank you for providing this app to contribute to that experience.
