The class
Nine lessons: what happens in labour, breathing and positions, signs labour is starting, pain relief options, and what a birth partner actually does. Short enough to read in a waiting room.
Stage two · getting ready, and going
A birth class you can open at 3am
Nine short lessons to read before, and the tools you can actually use during. From week 36 the whole app changes shape: five tabs collapse to four, the screen goes dark and rhythmic, and the targets get big enough to hit one-handed. All of it ships inside the app, so the hospital lift doesn’t matter.
Guided breathing
Slow flow, 4-7-8 and box, paced on a dark low-glare screen with haptics on your phone — so you can keep your eyes closed and still follow it.
A timer that means something
Not a stopwatch. It groups what you log and averages length and spacing, so the shape of the hour is legible at a glance and you have something concrete to tell your unit.
Lists that split
Hospital bag, home and paperwork — twelve items in the bag alone, each with an owner, ticked off from the car with nothing to remember unaided.

How the stage moves
Nothing here predicts labour, and nothing tries to. The timer reports the pattern you logged and points you at your midwife — babybub is not a medical device.
The other two stages
Stage one · in the wombWatch them grow, one week at a timeWeek-by-week development guides, nutrient targets that move with your trimester, and every scan explained — from week 4 to week 42.Stage three · the first yearThe first year, made legibleOne-tap logging for feeds, naps and nappies, sleep read back to you across the week, milestones as ranges and a written care library.
babybub gives general information and a place to keep your own records. It is not a medical device and it does not diagnose anything. Always ring your midwife, child health nurse or GP if something worries you.
