Unduh Birthsmarter Contraction Timer

1. EASY TO USE: Our touch-anywhere start / stop function allows you to time without fumbling to hit the right button and the timer will not stop if you close the app during contractions (so you can take photos, change the music, and / or call your doctor without concern).

2. Even though this app is beautiful, and might feel soothing to watch, we do not encourage you to time all of your contractions in labor! Best practice is to time contractions for 45 minutes or 1-hour at a time to get a sense of your pattern, and then again when you feel something has changed.

3. While bells and whistles are fun in video games, we created the Birthsmarter Contraction Timer with an eye toward details that we hope will improve your overall labor experience.

4. It can be easy to think that all contraction timing apps are the same, however to maximize your positive birth experience, we’ve created this app to minimize stress and distractions to allow you to focus on the task at hand.

5. SMART TIMER: While you can edit the timing of individual contractions, the app will delete contractions that are less than 15 seconds and last more than 2.5 minutes in case real-life prevents you from tapping the screen.

6. The Birthsmarter Contraction Timer takes the guesswork out of timing contractions.

8. The uterus is a muscular organ which contracts throughout labor to help push a baby down and out and pull the cervix (the bottom of the uterus) up and out of the way.

9. The uterus contracts in labor when a body releases Oxytocin: our love, trust, and bonding hormone.

10. During labor, coping with surges or contractions is the most important thing.

11. The more oxytocin we produce, the more efficiently the uterus can work, making labor faster.
