User Reviews for Expectful: Wellness for Moms

Great, but I would like the daily suggestions back

I have been using Expectful since I was pregnant with my son almost 3 years ago. It’s been so helpful and I love it! That being said, I miss having the daily suggestion on which meditation to do. This changed with a recent update I think where now I always have to look through the library to find one that might be good. Some days I’m just not in the headspace nor do I have the time to look through the library. I just need something really quickly. I can’t say I always loved the daily suggestions, but they at least got me to focus on meditation in the little time that I had. I find I’m not using the app as much because I have to spend more time deciding what I want to do.All this to say, I give it 5 stars because I have loved it for so long and it’s been a tool and a comfort through my biggest life transitions. I’m also not going to stop using it because I don’t like this new update. I still think it will bring tremendous value to any new user.

Amazing

I started with the seven day trial at the beginning of my pregnancy and two days in I realized it was worth every penny. I had already been developing a meditation practice for about a year but this app is perfect for everyone regardless of if you’re a beginner or someone who has been meditating for their whole lives. There is just so much content, including courses worth of hypnobirthing education and support. The meditations are so supportive and personal. They’re designed so thoughtfully and I felt like there was something for every mood and concern I had throughout the process. I’m now twenty weeks postpartum and have been doing the daily postpartum meditations. I can’t say enough good things about how impactful this has been for my mental health and feeling supported during a time when we’ve all been uniquely alone in our fertility journeys.

A pregnancy app that actually supports you

This is my second pregnancy and I ran the gamut through pregnancy apps with my first: most were cutesy “watch your baby grow” some were tip based apps that actually provided some very unhelpful stereotypical advice found in books treating pregnancy like a pathology. (It is not a pathology). Other apps present you with risks and data, adding to stress and pointing out stuff I already knew. Bottom line Expectful is the first pregnancy app to actual support you as a complete woman experiencing pregnancy: stress management, meditation, support, and counseling. This is wonderful. There are also sections for body health and well being, embracing us as mothers with strengths and fears instead of instruments of failings and pathologies, which is so so common in how mother and baby are treated in the US. I don’t need more of that, Expectful has brought me tears of happiness (literally) with the support I have gotten. I WISH American healthcare was always like this app!!!

Tranquility

I started to develop anxiety when the pandemic hit close to home, mind you me and my family were taking all the steps necessary to stay safe. Anxiety hit so hard for me, more then I had ever imagined it to be. I didn't understand why I was going through it. I recovered well but then I found out I was pregnant, it was like a switch that got turned on again and my anxiety came back like it had never left but it was intensified. I didn't know how to control it, I was fighting everyday to not feel panic attacks. I was hospitalized once for it. I can say that with this app, it has greatly helped me sleep so much better the last couple of night and the meditation portion is so relaxing that I feel so much better ! I literally couldn't recommend this more.

Pleasantly Surprised

I downloaded this not knowing what to expect and honestly didn’t even give it enough energy in the beginning in which I wish I did. I thought it would be just another weekly where you’re at in your pregnancy app and this being my second baby I was kind of a know it all. I quickly realized all pregnancies are different and I am at a different season in life than I was with my first making me especially appreciate the meditations and of course the updates. Sure you can meditate on your own but I liked using Expectful as my accountability partner making sure I’m doing all I can not only physically but mentally too in growing my healthy baby. You can never know too much about your pregnancy and what your body is going through growing these beautiful blessings.

Love this app!!

I’ve been struggling to get pregnant for 15 months now. I had one miscarriage and am now on to fertility treatments. This app has helped me tremendously, especially during the more stressful times of TTC. They have a whole section of fertility meditations for women who are TTC (probably 20 or so). I can relate in some way to each one of them and I choose the one that best fits my needs/struggles that day, whether it be trusting my journey, connecting with gratitude, or just preparing for sleep. The woman’s voice is very soothing, and you can choose between 10 and 20 minute meditations. I try to listen to one every night before bed, which is when I find I feel most anxious. It always helps me calm my mind and prepare for a great nights sleep. I want to thank you so much for this unique service! I love it and highly recommend it!!

Great app! Wish there was casting avail

I use the audio the most on this app. It has been a godsend to help me center myself in times of distress. And to help me build good habits. I like to listen to many daily meditation before bed. Sometimes my partner joins me and we hold my belly together while we listen 🥰 I love how limitless the audio options feel and how things are categorized in a way that makes it fun and easy to explore new topics. All of the content on here feels curated with care and written by true experts. I’m giving this 4 instead of 5 stars bc I wish I could cast the audio to my Google home speaker. I also wish I could cast my workouts to my smart TV. If this app had that capability it’d be perfect!I haven’t tried the office hours yet, but look forward to. Maybe if that part blows me away I’ll switch this review to 5 stars.

Wish I would have found this earlier!

I’m on my 3rd pregnancy. I’ve been through all the pregnancy apps. They are well intended, but they never fit my personality. The information on all the others is very medicalized information, and not really an actual preparation for birth. Randomly, last night I thought it would be so nice if there were an app that was holistic while tracking the pregnancy. I’ve only had it one day and I’m blown away with how much I’ve learned! I’ve listened to half the hypnobirthing class, done 2 meditations, and learned about supplements. I so wish I knew about this earlier. I’ve been meditating and doing all the things, but it’s nice to have it all in one app. The meditations are based on your exact day of pregnancy. If you are wanting real advice and to learn things that will calm and ease your mind about pregnancy and birth I highly suggest this app! I’m off to delete my “what to expect” app that I never look at.

Judgmental though app works fine

I have no real issues with the interface. I’m not sure what the purpose of being able to “save” or “like” courses / articles was, as there is seemingly no place those are stored separately. But it wasn’t too difficult to scroll back and find what I wanted through the Explore feature. I rated this low because there is a very narrow view of what is “natural” and “correct” for pregnancy and birth, even in the hypnobirthing course, which I thought was just supposed to provide tools for managing pain and stress during birth. In the course, you are told that you will not be comfortable unless you are in a dark, silent room (at home), and that being in the hospital will cause stress. Additionally, in the part describing induction, you are told that it’s unnatural (the hormones you get are synthetic and therefore will make labor harder). I didn’t download this app for someone to tell me what my doctor has already explained. I will be in a hospital and I will be induced - I have no choice. Rather than discussing at length how much harder my labor will be and why, I’d rather they focus on the tools to get through it. I’ll be looking for another app to assist me through labor.

SO MUCH VALUE

I heard this app being advertised on the Birthful podcast, and while dealing with some first trimester anxiety and insomnia I decided to try it out. Let me just say, as a rule, I NEVER pay for apps. When I saw how much this app cost, I thought “I’ll do the free 7 day trial and then cancel before the week is up.” It took me under an hour of fishing around on the app for me to realize, no way! I’m definitely keeping this! It’s such an investment in having a healthier happier pregnancy. I love the meditations and even my four year old now asks to play the sleep stories before bed. The real selling point for me though was that they have an entire hypnobirthing class recorded for FREE with your subscription. A regular class would literally cost hundreds of dollars, and I love that I can do this one at my own pace. It’s seriously one of the best things I’ve done in this pregnancy. I’m also a doula and tell everyone I come across what a worthwhile investment this app is.
