Track contractions with confidence during labor. Contraction Timer helps expectant mothers time contractions, monitor baby kicks, and stay calm with guided breathing exercises. One tap to start, one tap to stop โ€” the app handles the rest. SIMPLE CONTRACTION TIMING Tap once when a contraction begins, tap again when it ends. The app automatically tracks: Duration of each contraction Interval between contractions Average patterns over time Labor stage estimation (early, active, transition) SMART HOSPITAL ALERTS Set your own contraction pattern thresholds. When contractions match your healthcare provider's guidance (like the 5-1-1 pattern), receive a gentle notification to consider calling your birth team. โ€‹ BABY KICK COUNTER Monitor your baby's movement with the built-in kick counter. Set a target (5, 10, 15, or 20 kicks), tap to log each movement, and track how long it takes to reach your goal. Share kick reports with your doctor during prenatal visits. CALMING BREATHING EXERCISES Three guided breathing patterns help you stay relaxed during contractions: Relaxing (4-4 pattern) Calming (4-7 pattern) Deep breathing (5-5 pattern) Visual guidance and haptic feedback keep you centered when you need it most.
