Contract Me is a great app that helps you or your partner keep track of your contractions during labor.
Each contraction is timed and the app calculates the time between contractions (frequency). The Start Stop Length and Frequency of contractions is stored in memory so you can close the app without loosing data.
On the timer screen a graphical representation of the frequency is displayed which makes it easy for you to see which stage of labor you are in. Active labor is generally when contractions are 2 to 5 minutes apart (frequency) and can last between 45 to 90 seconds.
The graph is the most useful feature as it will show a rough straight line when you are nearing Active Labor as the frequency of contractions will be of similar length.
Features
- Easy to use interface for you and your partner
- A single large Start/Stop button to time each contraction
- A complete record list of contraction
- Easy to use history screen to correct a time or swipe to delete a contraction if a mistake was made
- A graph that displays the previous 10 contraction frequencies so you do not have to leave the timer screen.
You will find that writing contraction start - stop times down and calculating the frequency while in labor is not going to be fun. You should be enjoying the experience with your partner and let Contract Me do all the work for you.
You should always contact your midwife or doctor when contractions start.
