How do I track contractions effectively?
Time each contraction from start to finish and record the interval between starts. Use a single consistent method and note a few quick details: location of pain, ability to speak, and any milestone like water breaking.
What is the 5-1-1 rule and when should I use it?
5-1-1 means contractions five minutes apart, each about one minute long, and sustained for at least one hour. It is a common guideline to contact your midwife or prepare to go to the hospital, but follow your care provider’s specific advice.
Can a partner help with timing contractions?
Yes. A designated partner can reliably time contractions, make quick notes, and communicate patterns to care providers. Keeping roles simple makes timing more accurate during intense waves.
Will an app make it harder to stay calm while I track contractions?
A well-designed app can reduce stress by making timing one tap and showing duration and intervals at a glance. Choose a distraction-free option and test it before labour so it feels familiar.
