Contraction Timer Lite

Easily time labor contractions. A handy one-button interface to start and stop the timer, it also lists the duration and spacing of the last contraction, the average and count for the last 20 minutes, and the last hour.

The 20 minute average lets you see if your contractions are increasing or decreasing relative to the last hour. The hour average and count lets you decide when to go to the hospital or birthing center.

The app 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 your favorite game or another app to distract you during and between contractions.

This is the "Lite" version of my Labor and Contraction Timer app. It has advertisements and is missing the intensity and notes for each contraction, the charts and graphs, and the ability to email contraction data. It is not otherwise limited (you can enter an unlimited number of contractions over an unlimited amount of time.)

Perfect for what it is designed for

App was very easy to use, and did not crash. Simple way to track whether or not you need to go to the hospital.

This app looks great, but does not seem to work. It just shuts down every time I open it.


Great app!

Worked well for me! Hardest part was logging onto my itouch when I was doubled over in pain!


Perfect

My husband thought it was ridiculous, but it was so easy to use. Looking at the history and averages made me leave right on time for the hospital.


Guesstimating is not the right answer

My wife had been estimating the length and interval between contractions and thought they were 30-35 seconds and 7-8 minutes apart. When I got home I grabbed this app and we started timing. They were 1:15 - 1:35 in length and 4 minutes apart. We got to the birth center 3 minutes before her water broke AND she was 10 centimeters. This app saved our car from needing a deep detailing and got us there just in time for everything to go amazingly.


Simple and useful

This worked great for me. So much easier than trying to keep track with a stopwatch or clock. It's simple and easy to use. Just what you need so you can concentrate on what you and your baby's needs.


Worked fabulously.

Yep, this was a very helpful app, thank you!!!


Great!

Great app! We used it before heading into the hospital. It was great for helping us know when the time was right.


Easy to use and practical

I'd downloaded other similar app and tried them all but at the end I found this to be the most practical one. When you're really in pain, you won't have the mood to really record anything else except when the pain kicks in. Nice work!
