Breathing in Labour
Guided breathing for labour and everyday calm
Build a breathing routine you can recognize when the moment feels intense. The app guides you through clear, adjustable exercises for pregnancy, labour, and calmer pauses in everyday life.
A Guided Breathing App You Can Practise Before Labour
Breathing techniques are easier to recall when you have already practised them. Breathing in Labour gives each inhale and exhale a clear visual rhythm, helping you learn at your own pace before you want to use that rhythm during labour.
There is no single perfect breathing pattern for every person or every stage. You can adjust the pace and session length, add a calming soundscape, and keep the exercises available offline. The aim is a familiar, uncomplicated point of focus — not another task to perform perfectly.
When Breathing in Labour Can Help You Practise
Use the app as a flexible practice companion, choosing a short or longer session according to your energy, environment, and care team’s guidance.
-
During Pregnancy
Rehearse a comfortable rhythm in a calm setting, notice how different timings feel, and save a pattern that you would like to recognize later.
-
As a Labour Focus
Return to a simple visual and audio cue when you want something familiar to follow, while continuing to listen to your body and maternity team.
-
For Everyday Calm

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is Breathing in Labour only for use during labour?
No. You can practise the guided patterns during pregnancy, use them as a familiar focus during labour, or return to shorter sessions whenever you want a calmer pause in everyday life.
-
Can I use the breathing exercises without internet access?
Yes. The app is designed for offline practice, so your breathing sessions remain available at home, in hospital, while travelling, or anywhere a reliable connection is unavailable.
-
Can I adjust the breathing pace to suit me?
Yes. You can customize the rhythm and duration instead of forcing yourself into one fixed pattern. Start comfortably and choose a pace that feels steady for your body.
-
Does the app replace advice from a midwife or doctor?
No. Breathing in Labour is a self-guided wellbeing tool, not medical care. Follow your maternity team’s advice and stop an exercise if you feel dizzy, uncomfortable, or unwell.
