Charts give you a visual presentation of your progress and we try to indicate when you are reaching the point when you should be ready to head for the hospital. We try to make it easy for you to alter the contractions after you have timed them. From our own experience the most annoying thing while timing the contractions was that you often missed some and couldn't easily add or change them. We let you remove singel contraction so that contractions timed by mistake will not cause any annoyance We have no limit regarding how many contractions you are allowed to time. Important: Every birth is unique, so listen to your midwife regarding to when you should head for the hospital. This app is designed to be a aid for you in that communication.
