Speaking of Contractions: Contraction Master

in 3rd Trimester

So, I tried using this the other night to time my contractions and it was a big, fat, fail. LOL

 I was never near the laptop when a contraction started/ended, and sitting in front of the computer waiting for one to start/end was annoying.  DH wasn't awake at this point, so it's not like I could have him stand guard, haha.

I don't have a fancy iPhone/crackberry/droid, so I can't get an app on my phone, either, unless Verizon has some magical app I haven't found yet for my Samsung.

There really is no point to this post other than I don't get the hoopla about the actual CM website.  I can see it working on a phone since I could hold it and walk around with it, I guess.

    never heard of the website but I found the app for my phone to be confusing. I'll have to look at it again though.

    I have it on my iPhone and it works great. I can't imagine having to sit in front of a computer to use it though. Maybe you can use a watch with a stop watch/time feature? Good luck!

    I used this when in labor last time. I was in one spot (unless I was showering and getting ready to go): on my exercise ball and "watching" TV with the laptop in front of me, timing my contractions and nesting :) I love my birthing ball during labors, so it's easy for me to just be by the computer at all times.

    I have an app for my droid that works well.. but.. I still find it's difficult to sit there and click start and stop.  Thankfully nothing major is happening yet.. so maybe it's b/c I'm at work and busy and whatnot.. but I often forget to stop the timer.

    Yeah, I was pacing, taking a bath, on the ball, on all fours, etc.

    I used the website when I was due with my DD.  I didn't have an issue with it.  When I was in real labor I wasn't bouncing around the house I was sitting around with DH so having the laptop around wasn't an issue.  I really like seeing the info and having the record.  Once things really are moving along give it a try.
