As a contraction timer and labor tracker, Easy Contraction Timer gives you everything you need during this important time: • Share a live view of your contractions with your partner, midwife, doula or loved ones in real time, wherever they are • Automatic tracking of how many contractions you've had, and how long each contraction and each interval lasts • Know when to call: a live check against the 5-1-1 rule (contractions 5 minutes apart, about 1 minute long, for 1 hour) shows how far apart they are, how long they last and how long it has held, with a heads-up when they match. Your midwife gave you different numbers?
