contration app

[samroberts2]

hi. just wondering if anyone can reccomend an app for timing contractions. thanks xx

I don't have a recommendation but I downloaded a free one for labour with my 1st baby. When I started having contractions I opened the app and it was great for a while, then my contractions got stronger and just at the crucial turning point of irregular to regular the app decided I'd had enough 'free' contractions and displayed a message that I would need to pay if I wanted to continue! It was both hysterically funny and scary at the same time because it took my concentration away and I had no idea how far apart my contractions were! So just make sure that if you download a free one it's thr full version and not the lite one :).

I didn't pay BTW, I just got myself to hospital.

Is there a reason you want one? Most mw's just want to know if you are '3 in 10' and for some women focusing on times in that way can be detrimental to labour establishing.
