A contraction timer for labor

Labor Companion

Stay with the moment, not the stopwatch.

Start and stop a contraction with one tap, add the intensity you experienced, and see the duration and spacing in a simple chronological history. The record is ready to revisit without reconstructing each interval from memory.

This tool is currently available with a free Momminess account.

Why it helps

Useful detail without extra mental load.

Fast in the moment

A large, focused timer keeps the main action easy to reach when your attention belongs elsewhere.

A clearer sequence

Duration, time between contractions and your intensity notes sit together in one history.

Useful for conversation

You can refer to the record when speaking with your midwife, doctor or birth support team.

Inside the tool

What you can record and revisit

  • Start and stop contraction timing with one primary control
  • Review the recorded duration of each contraction
  • See the time between consecutive contractions
  • Add a personal intensity note
  • Return to a dated contraction history

Everyday examples

When this tool may come in handy

Early labor at home

You want to record what is happening without opening a separate timer, calculator and notes app.

A check-in with your care team

You are asked what you have experienced so far and want a timestamped history to refer to.

Looking back later

You want to keep the timing record as part of your pregnancy history after the birth.

Good to know

Clear records, clear boundaries

  • The timer records what you enter; it does not determine the stage of labor or tell you when to travel to a hospital.
  • Always follow the personalized guidance given by your maternity care team.
  • If you are worried about yourself or your baby, contact a qualified professional or the appropriate emergency service without waiting for the app.

Momminess helps you record and organize personal information. It does not diagnose, interpret urgent symptoms, or replace a doctor, midwife, emergency service, or other qualified professional. Seek professional help whenever you are concerned.
