Contraction Timer
Time each contraction from its beginning to its end. See how long contractions last and the interval between their starts. Timing alone cannot diagnose established labour.
Local prototype — clinical review required before publicationContact your maternity team now for waters breaking, vaginal bleeding, reduced or changed baby movements, constant severe pain, or suspected labour before 37 weeks. If you feel an overwhelming urge to push or birth seems imminent, call emergency services.

My contraction recording
Waiting for next contractionTap Start when a contraction begins and End when it stops.
If comfortable, rest, sip fluids, use calm breathing and continue observing your symptoms. This timer cannot confirm established labour or that staying at home is safe. Contact your maternity team if uncertain or worried.

Information based on your recording
