Easily time Labor Contractions with this elegant and extremely user friendly app.
A simple one-button interface to start and stop your Contraction timer. It clearly lists the duration of each of your contractions, as well as the interval between each contraction.
Also extremely useful for any Doula in assisting expecting mothers at full term during labor and childbirth. The delivery of a newborn baby is extremely intense, and Contraction Timer will help any Doula to time a pregnant womans contractions and deliver their baby.
You just have to tap a single button to start the timer, then tap any part of the screen to stop the timer. Contraction Timer app will take care of the rest! The app is designed to keep track of the times, durations and frequency of the entire labor period.
Easily record the intensity of a contraction with our simple slider during the contraction or when adding/editing a contraction. Great visual cues for the intensity of each contraction that allows you to easily see the intensity of your contractions over time.
Notes can also be added to each contraction and are displayed alongside your contraction timings for quick recollection of the important aspects of each contraction.
Reports and graphs for displaying averages and trends over time will be coming soon. These graphs will show if your contractions are increasing or decreasing over time, as well as allows you to decide when you should go to the hospital or birthing center.
Contraction Timer remembers all data and whether you were in the middle of a contraction or not between launches, so you can jump back and forth between this and any another app to distract you during and between contractions.
- Large or full screen buttons to make it super easy for you to start or stop contractions at any time
- Extremely Simple interface to track each contraction.
- View your complete contraction history on a single screen. Intervals are clearly displayed between contractions

Ratings and Reviews
Amazingly simple
Very easy to use and so efficient. Thank god I used this app otherwise I would not have realised how fast my contractions were coming. Lucky to use this and went into hospital as emergency situation arose so had I not downloaded this app and gone straight to hospital god forbid there was a tragedy waiting to happen but was avoided because my baby’s heart beat dropped. Lucky I used the app to realise my contractions were coming fast and needed to be in hospital straight away.
Thank you July 2022
Update: July 2024
Again used this app for another pregnancy. Contractions were so irregular from one day before but I thought let me use app to monitor the times of contractions. I fell asleep and woke up with a painful contraction and again I continued to use app and realised contractions were coming 4 or 5 in every ten minutes so ran to the hospital and again my baby heart beat dropped and had baby out asap. I’m so glad I used this app as it helped to decide to rush to hospital and had I not used it I would not have gone in both times and mostly likely tragedy would have taken place as I’m high risk.
This app is so simple and easy to use and I would recommend all mums to use it.
Simple, effective: download and use straight away!
I went into early labour at 36 weeks and for hours had been ignoring cramping. When I realised how painful it was and what was going on I randomly downloaded this app and used it immediately. So simple, no messing round, intuitive, just tap the screen - just what I needed while in pain (no endless data collection or setting up). Really useful to have visualisation/info of contractions (duration, frequency) for discussions with midwives over the phone. Reassuring to have the information on how your body is progressing and make decisions about when to go to hospital.
Great app, bu add some extras?
The app is great. The whole screen is tapable so it doesn’t matter if you’re looking at it or not, you can stop the timer easily enough.
The only thing I may add is a few articles about contractions and how to tell the difference between them and Braxton Hicks. And when to call the hospital/ambulance.
Also, this is more with Apple than the app itself - you have to physically go into it to start the timer. So if you’re trying to keep an eye on any tightenings you’re having (which I’m having to do) you will either need to have this app open at all times and not use your phone for anything else, or open the app while the tightenings is happening.
Apple need to get an option to use these type of apps easily with a click outside the app
