SoShe - Birth Prep for Android

SoShe was a wonderful addition to our labor and delivery prep! Quick, intuitive modules make it easy to learn about different stages and options for labor. The app seems to use the BRAIN method (benefits, risks, alternatives, intuition, nothing) to help with decision making around birth preferences. What makes the app unique is the birth planning materials it includes for a caesarean (most birth planning tools online have limited information for this possibility). Although we did not have a c-section it was great to feel prepared for any possible scenario. Would definitely recommend for any pregnant person and their birth partner!

I used the Soshe app during my pregnancy to prepare for labor. The videos and checklists were so so helpful in learning more about my birth preferences to come to the birth of my first baby more informed and empowered. I also had the pleasure of meeting with the amazing Jenn, a birth doula and one of the creators of the Soshe app. She literally did a “labor practice” with me and my husband and taught us different techniques we can use on the real day. The things she taught us (for example, the back pressure techniques) were some of the most helpful for me during labor. As a person who thought I had no pain tolerance whatsoever, I ended up having a beautiful and empowering natural birth with no medications or interventions, largely thanks to Jenn and Soshe! I highly recommend it if you’re planning to try natural or not. It is so important to know what is important for you in your birth experience and there is so much to learn. Thank you so much! 🙏🏼

I loved using the Soshe app during my pregnancy. It was a great resource and convenient. I was able to watch the videos at the pace that worked for me and my husband because he works odd hours. I enjoyed using the birth plan too and the coaching sessions were an added bonus. Even though the app was all online it was nice to have a few sessions of talking with a coach, ask questions and get feedback.

I’m a new parent that took several classes and read several books before giving birth, but this app was by far the best resource. The videos, written information and checklists are invaluable. My husband and I watched the videos together and it helped us practice breathing techniques that we used throughout our labor. I highly recommend taking advantage of the coaching sessions as well! It was so helpful to get advice from Naima on what a birth plan should be like and how to talk with my OB about it. I felt like I learned more information on labor and delivery from this app than I ever got talking with my OB. You won’t be disappointed, this is an amazing app!

This is a wonderful app for families and birth professionals. It’s such a good resource and support during a really important time.
