Question 1

What is hypnobirthing?

Accepted Answer

Hypnobirthing is a method of birth preparation that uses relaxation, breathing techniques, visualisation, and positive language to help expecting parents approach labour with calm and confidence rather than fear. It is based on the understanding that fear causes tension, and tension causes pain — and that by reducing fear, labour can progress more comfortably and efficiently.

Question 2

Is Hypnobirthing+ free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Hypnobirthing+ is free to download and includes 3 full sessions at no cost, with no credit card required. A premium subscription gives you access to the full library of 30 sessions.

Question 3

Can I use hypnobirthing for a c-section?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The relaxation, breathing, and mindset tools in Hypnobirthing+ are relevant for all birth paths — including planned caesareans, induced labours, and unplanned surgical births. Calm and preparation are valuable regardless of how your birth unfolds.

Question 4

When should I start using Hypnobirthing+?

Accepted Answer

You can start at any point in pregnancy, but most parents find the most benefit from beginning in the second trimester and practising daily through to birth. Earlier practice means more deeply conditioned relaxation responses by the time labour begins.

Question 5

Does hypnobirthing work for first-time mothers?

Accepted Answer

Yes — hypnobirthing is particularly valuable for first-time mothers, for whom everything about labour is unknown territory. The techniques help replace fear of the unknown with genuine preparation, confidence, and trust in the body's natural ability to birth.

Question 6

Can my birth partner use Hypnobirthing+?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Hypnobirthing+ includes a dedicated Partner Support session library with audio guidance specifically designed for birth partners — covering how to use voice, touch, and calm presence to support the birthing person during labour.

Question 7

Do I need to take a hypnobirthing course?

Accepted Answer

No. Hypnobirthing+ gives you everything you need for complete birth preparation in one app — guided sessions, breathing practice, birth education, and partner support tools. No expensive in-person course required.

Question 8

Does Hypnobirthing+ work offline?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sessions can be downloaded for offline listening, so you can use the app anywhere — including in the hospital or birth centre without WiFi.
