Music for Pregnancy app review: a wonderful collection of music

Introduction

There has been a lot of research done on the importance of playing music for a child still in the womb. When classical music is played for the baby it has a calming effect not just for the baby but also for mom, which makes it a win-win for all. The Music for Pregnancy app is a collection of hand-picked music tracks that are all designed to make for a stress-free, healthier pregnancy and birthing experience.

A Healthy and Happy State of Mind

As mentioned it is a proven fact that classic music has a calming effect which, in turn, slows down the heart so it can beat slower and allow breathing to be deeper, resulting in a more relaxed state of being. In fact classical music causes the brain to release an endorphin that is shown to relax the body, improve your mood, and reduce stress.

While babies won't begin to hear sounds in the womb until about six months, there is no harm at all in listening to it throughout pregnancy since it's more than the baby who benefits. What's really incredible is that after the baby is born he or she can associate that same music outside of the womb which will lead to a calming effect.

A Selection of Tracks

When you launch the app you’ll have a selection of categories to choose from that contain tracks meant for those activities. Scroll through the categories of enjoyable walks, meditation and breathing, pleasant relaxation, safe exercising, restful sleep, and stress buster. The free version of this app allows you to listen to tracks in the meditation and breathing category only. The All Packs in-app purchase allows you to access all the categories of music for $2.99, which seems very reasonable.

Each category contains a nice selection of music that is calming and relaxing. When you come across a track you really enjoy, mark it as a favorite so it will be added to your playlist. There is also a timer feature that allows you to set the timer for five minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, one hour, 1.5 hours, and two hours. Select the time you want and hit the start button to begin the timer. This is handy if you plan on falling asleep while listening to the tracks.

I must say I’m not pregnant yet I really enjoyed listening to the variety of music here so I can just imagine what kind of calming effect it must have on a mother to be and the unborn baby.
