What is the 5-1-1 rule for contractions?

The 5-1-1 rule is a guideline many families discuss with their care team: contractions about every 5 minutes, lasting about 1 minute, for about 1 hour. Provider instructions can vary, so this app lets you customize the timing guideline.

Can I share contraction history with a provider?

Yes. The app can copy a provider summary, download a CSV file, and open a print report that can be saved as a PDF from the browser.

Does the contraction timer store my data privately?

Yes. Contraction data, labor events, notes, and settings are stored only in your browser's local storage. No account or server is used.
