Contraction App

Manx4

I just downloaded a contraction timer app to my phone.  I figured it can't hurt right?  haha!  Anyone else?

I had one with DD and it was actually really helpful!  I have a new phone this time, but will definitely be downloading one again.

I had never thought of this, but I'm downloading one now!

wait... explain... how does it work? Everytime you have a contraction you enter it into the app?

Same here!  I also had a baby feeding app to track when DS ate last/from which breast/for how long etc as well as diaper changes.  I was too sleep deprived to remember anything and it was really easy to enter the info.  I love technology.

The one I downloaded is called full term. You literally just hit start and stop like a stopwatch, and it keeps track of everything for you.

I did!  I actually downloaded a few to see which interface I liked best....such a dork.

I downloaded contraction calculator for android, seems clear enough

I downloaded Contraction Timer - the icon is a blue box with a timer in it. 

It's a stop watch really, you hit it when the first contraction starts, hit it again when it ends.  Repeat.  Then it averages it out for you.  

It tells you the duration of each contraction and how often you're having them.

Yes! I have a contraction timer that came in very handy when I was having glfrequent BH a couple weeks ago, I also downloaded a free similac iPhone app that tracks breastfeeding, diaper changes, all sorts of great stuff!

I should do this.  Started getting painful painful ones spuratically yesterday evening.  And then they stopped after laying on my left side and drinking some water.  But WOW! painful!

Which feeding app did you use that told you which breast you used?  I want that one!  TIA!

Yep, we downloaded a contraction app and a baby care app last week. DH is totally attached to his iPhone so when we need to time contractions, it should be pretty easy for him to do it.
