How to time labour contractions with Birth Companion

Mark each start and finish

Tap to start timing when a contraction begins, then tap to stop when it finishes. The log keeps the start time and duration. Your support person can tap for you while you focus on how you’re feeling.

Check which interval you need

Duration runs from the start of a contraction to its finish. The break is from that finish to the next start. For a start-to-start interval, compare the two start times in the log. It includes both the first contraction and the break that follows.

Add details while they’re fresh

Note how strong the contraction felt or what helped, and export a PDF if you’d like to share the log. Ask your midwife or maternity care team if you have questions about the timing in your situation.
