A clear last hour
The count, the average length, the typical interval and whether they are regular, at a glance, with no table of numbers.
For the big dayNo account, no ads
A calm timer
for your contractions
Tap Start when a contraction begins and Stop when it ends: the app works out the length, the interval and the pattern of the last hour.
It tells you when that pattern matches the common guideline for calling your midwife or hospital, from an official source. Your own hospital's advice always comes first.
On iPhone. Coming soon to Android.
