Easily time Labor Contractions with this elegant and extremely user friendly app.

A simple one-button interface to start and stop your Contraction timer. It clearly lists the duration of each of your contractions, as well as the interval between each contraction.

Also extremely useful for any Doula in assisting expecting mothers at full term during labor and childbirth. The delivery of a newborn baby is extremely intense, and Contraction Timer will help any Doula to time a pregnant womans contractions and deliver their baby.

You just have to tap a single button to start the timer, then tap any part of the screen to stop the timer. Contraction Timer app will take care of the rest! The app is designed to keep track of the times, durations and frequency of the entire labor period.

Easily record the intensity of a contraction with our simple slider during the contraction or when adding/editing a contraction. Great visual cues for the intensity of each contraction that allows you to easily see the intensity of your contractions over time.

Notes can also be added to each contraction and are displayed alongside your contraction timings for quick recollection of the important aspects of each contraction.

Reports and graphs for displaying averages and trends over time will be coming soon. These graphs will show if your contractions are increasing or decreasing over time, as well as allows you to decide when you should go to the hospital or birthing center.

Contraction Timer remembers all data and whether you were in the middle of a contraction or not between launches, so you can jump back and forth between this and any another app to distract you during and between contractions.

- Extremely Simple interface to track each contraction.
- View your complete contraction history on a single screen. Intervals are clearly displayed between contractions
- Update contractions
- Remove contractions

Pros and cons of Contraction Timer - Time labor app for iPhone and iPad

Contraction Timer - Time labor app good for

This app is great! As a birth doula I use contractions constantly, super easy to use, you can adjust times and even rate the intensity of the contractions. It also gives you the averages of length and time between contractions. The best contraction monitoring app Ive found thus far.
Helped me time my contractions consistently and accurately during my sons birth. Highly recommend!
I give this 4 stars cause it is simple and works well for self-timing because of the basic nature. A couple of suggestions (the app works well regardless of these suggestions! I am using it currently for labor, and am just offering some additional feedback) 1) making the start screen the whole screen, like the stop screen. During contractions, its difficult to focus, or I am in the zone and dont want to look at a screen while breathing 2) red is a very harsh colour to look at during a contraction, since one is supposed to try and relax during them. As a general rule, red tends to have the opposite affect on a persons psyche. Perhaps a pastel colour to be more soothing? 3) the slide bar for intensity is kind of jerky and requires unnecessary time to get the right category. Perhaps just highlighting a word, or a smooth spectrum-of-pain type of bar would be more appropriate.
Love it i recommend it this app helped me out a lot during labour
Wish I could get rid of adds. Have saveable readings. But I love the notes. I really like that they show up on the screen.

Some bad moments

Terrible format. Doesnt show dates, doesnt have a responsive/intuitive intensity tracker.
Tried a number of apps to track contractions. Most were overly complicated which made them worse for the basic task I wanted. This was perfectly simple, easy to use, and focused on just what I needed.
I had previously been using a different contraction timer app but it did not have time stamps on each contraction which had me stumped when my midwife asked what time my contractions started. This app has a time stamp on each contraction do I dont have to worry about not knowing the future.
Timer works well. Very nice to be able to make intensity with slide scale or leave a free text note. Easy large print stop screen. I do wish that they made the font larger for counter between contractions.
Its simple and easy to use. Nothing complicated which is nice when youre supposed to be focusing on contractions rather than how to figure a timer out.
Great App. The ability to take notes allows us to describe each contraction in detail.
