Made for This Birth4.1.0 - App Store

Your pregnancy and birth matter and God wants to meet you there.

Made for This Birth is here to support and encourage you as you prepare for a happy, healthy, and yes, even holy pregnancy and birth with God. We believe that you are designed intentionally and beautifully to grow and birth your baby and He wants to be part of the experience. Birth can be one of the most amazing and spiritually transformative experiences of a woman's life and Made for This Birth can help you prepare your body, mind, heart, and soul for just that.

The Made for This Birth Album contains over THREE HOURS of Catholic meditations, prayer, affirmations, Scripture, and relaxation practice for birth. We'll help you overcome fear, heal disordered beliefs, and prepare you for a joyful and empowering birth with God at the center. Playlists are customizable and can even include your own Apple Library tracks! Tracks were written and are led by the author of Made for This: The Catholic Mom's Guide to Birth, childbirth educator and doula, and mother of seven, Mary Haseltine.

Our Weekly Pregnancy Guide walks you through a more intentional and TRULY holistic pregnancy and birth from the very beginning - Body, Mind, Heart, and Soul. Each week you’ll be offered a unique glimpse of what your baby is up to, digestible but impactful information and reflections about your pregnancy, prenatal care, birth, and postpartum time, beautiful and compelling questions to reflect on, take to prayer, and even journal through, and a custom prayer specific to that week to help you orient all your decisions and experiences toward God's plan for YOU. Unlike secular sources, we’ll see you and your baby through the lens of God’s intentional design, in a way that honors you as a complete woman and your baby as a unique human being.

The Made for This customizable contraction timer allows you to time contractions while also offering sacred images, Scriptures, saint quotes, intentions, and even your own uploaded images to provide encouragement and inspiration as you labor!
