It is easy, there is no need for pen and paper to work out your contraction times. Contractions are timed from the start of one to the start of the next. Frequency and Duration are worked out for you.    You can also print out your contractions log.

Timer runs while this window is open, close the window and the information is lost.

Instructions:   

• When you begin to have the tightening in your abdomen, click the  START  button
• When the pain of your contraction ends, click  STOP . [you may still feel tight]
• Repeat again for your next few contractions.
• When you have about five contractions recorded. [5 contractions or about 1 hour]
• Look for a pattern of Duration and Frequency in the results.
• Duration shows how long your contractions last.
• Frequency shows how far apart your contractions are.
• When your contractions are about 20 minutes apart and are staying even if you walk around or lay on your left side, you are in labor! This is the time to get to the hospital.

---

• Are they lasting 1 minute or more, and 5 minutes apart?
• Is Duration greater than 1 minute and Frequency 5 minutes or less?
