So, I just got off the phone with my very dear friend who just had a baby. In passing, she mentioned she timed her contractions on her iPhone.
Apparently, you use your phone as a timer at the start of each contraction and it measures the duration of contractions and length of time between them. You get real-time labor stats that help you determine when it’s time to go to the hospital.
There are a few different options. The one pictured left is called Labor Mate, but there are at least two others.
Labor. There’s an app for that. Seriously!
The app we used during labor was called Contraction Timer! The only problem we had with that app is that it only provided averages and no history – so, we also kept a written record as well. Seriously – there IS an app for that!!! Talk to you soon!
Congratulations, Mommy! So soo happy for you.
