The app will help to track your contractions and determine when it's time to go to the hospital. If you plan on having a home birth, the app will tell you what stage of labor you are in at any given moment. Keep track of your labor by tapping a single button at the start and at the end of each contraction. 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. Trust what your body is telling you. If you have any questions or suggestions, please email us at neumandev@gmail.com. Your feedback is very important to us.

"Soon" - Contraction Timer & Baby Kick Counter How to use the Contraction Timer? When a contraction begins, press the button "Сontraction Start" When a contraction ends, press the button "Сontraction Stop" The App counts the difference between the beginning and the end of the contraction indicates how long the contraction lasted. As soon as the next contraction begins, repeat. Early labor: The cervix has dilated from completely closed to 3 centimeters (cm) in diameter. Contractions are mild, similar to menstrual cramps and irregular. Each contraction lasts 30 to 45 seconds and occurs five to 20 minutes apart. Active labor: The cervix will dilate from 4 cm to 7 cm and contractions will be stronger and last longer. Usually, they will last 45 to 60 seconds, with 3 minutes to 5 minutes between each one. This is the point where you should go to the hospital. Transition: During this final phase of labor before the birth of your baby, the cervix opens completely from 8 cm to 10 cm. Contractions can be so long and intense that they may seem to overlap. Each one will last about 60 to 90 seconds with just 30 seconds to 2 minutes rest between each. Important: If your water broke, you must go to the hospital right away, regardless of the frequency of contractions! During pregnancy and before childbirth, always stay in touch with your doctor. How to use the Kick Counter? Lie down on your side or relax in a comfortable chair Pay attention only to your baby's movements Press "KICK" button on any movement that you can feel (except hiccups) The baby does not need to move 10 times EVERY two hours, but they should have a couple of active hours each day.
