What is a contraction timer?
A contraction timer is a tool used during labor to measure how long each contraction lasts and how far apart contractions are. A contraction tracker records each contraction and calculates the interval between them. Contraction timer apps automate this so you do not have to count manually during labor and delivery.

When to start using a contraction timer
Start using a contraction timer when you notice regular tightening in your abdomen or lower back. Record at least six contractions to identify a pattern. Early labor contractions may last 30 to 60 seconds. As labor progresses, contractions become longer, stronger, and closer together. An app to track contractions helps you see this pattern clearly.

What is the 5-1-1 rule for contractions?
The 5-1-1 rule means contractions come every 5 minutes, last 1 minute each, and continue for 1 hour. This pattern typically indicates active labor.
