This application is the most convenient way to keep track of your labor contractions. I created this application for use during my own wife's labor and have paid special attention to keeping the interface as clean and clutter free as possible. You have to tap a single button to track the start and end of each of your contractions, and "Full Term" will take care of the rest. The application is designed to keep track of the times, durations and frequency of the entire labor period. Your full labor history and contraction progress will be saved regardless of whether you restart the application during a contraction or restart the entire device. There is no need to keep this application open the whole time. Of course, you can also email your contraction history to a health care professional or for your records. In addition, you get a full featured Fetal Kick counter and a handy pregnancy reference section that you can use to brush up your knowledge. To summarize, some of the features are: Contraction Timer * Simple interface to track each contraction * View your complete contraction history in chronological or reverse chronological order * Edit your contractions in case you forget * Manually enter contraction entries if needed * Undo your contractions in case you make a mistake * Setup Contraction Alerts based on the 5-1-1 rule or customize to suit your needs * Track breaking of waters * Add a note to any contraction * Specify the intensity of each contraction * Monitor your labor progression using the built-in graphs * Apple Watch Support Kick Counter * Full Featured Kick counter * View your complete Kick count session history * Setup Reminders to make sure you count kicks at the same time every day! * Email Kick counting history * Customize the session length or the number of kicks counted per session * Edit your Kick counting session by deleting accidental entries * Add a note to any Kick counting session Weight Tracker * Track your weight gain progress through your Pregnancy * Enter Due date information to Weight Gain for Pregnancy Week * Attach notes to each weight entry * Setup reminders to take your weight at the same time each week * Great reference section included to provide pregnancy information * Backup your history to iCloud * Resume timing your labor on another device connected to the same iCloud account * Configure the duration to monitor and determine trends * Email your contraction history to anyone * Dark Theme Mode for use in low light conditions to decrease eye strain

The Contraction Timer analyzes the duration and frequency of contractions and will notify you when it's time to go to the hospital. Thousands of pregnant women around the world have become mothers using our app. Always consult your doctor to orient yourself in terms of contraction frequency and duration. This app is not a medical device and our recomendations are based on standard indicators. Your labor may occur differently. Therefore, do not rely exclusively on our app. If the duration and frequency of contractions do not yet correspond to the necessary indicators but labor pains become unbearable, it is better to go to the hospital as soon as possible rather than give birth at home or on the way there.
