Apps to time contractions
When labour starts, a contraction timer does one job: you tap when a contraction begins and when it ends, and it counts the length and the interval for you. Storky keeps the history, tells you when the baby might be on its way and lets you send the overview to your doctor. Easy Contraction Timer shares a live view with your partner or midwife and gives a heads-up when contractions are less than five minutes apart. If you already use a Ukrainian pregnancy app, Маля(та) and MamaDay track contractions too.
How we picked: contraction timers and pregnancy apps with a contraction tracker from sellers shown as traders in the App Store, with features from each app’s own description. We skipped apps whose seller address is in Russia or Belarus. None of these apps gives medical advice, so follow what your doctor or midwife tells you.
Storky: one tap per contraction
Storky is a contraction timer with no ads from the makers of the Bibino baby monitor. Tap once when a contraction starts and again when it ends, and Storky starts timing the interval. It keeps the history of contractions and intervals in one place, explains how contractions work and when to consider going to the hospital or a birth center, lets you send the overview to your doctor or birth assistant, and tells you when the signs suggest the baby might be on its way.
Easy Contraction Timer: share live with your midwife
Easy Contraction Timer counts how many contractions you have had and how long each contraction and break lasts. You can share a live view with your partner, midwife or family, get a heads-up when contractions are less than five minutes apart, rate intensity on a chart, export the history as a CSV file and time contractions from an Apple Watch.
