Common questions

When should I go to the hospital?

The common guidance is the 5-1-1 pattern: contractions five minutes apart, lasting one minute, for one hour. The app tracks that pattern for you — but follow whatever your midwife or hospital told you, because their advice beats a general rule.

Does it work without a connection?

Can I show the log to my midwife?

Yes — the log exports so you can show the actual timings instead of trying to remember them.
