About this app

⏱️ The intuitive contraction timer that actually tells you what's happening during labor.

Most contraction timer apps just show you numbers. Contraction Timer — 5-1-1 Rule reads your pattern, filters out false alarms, and tells you in plain English exactly where you stand. It’s the complete labor tracker designed to reduce anxiety so you can focus on what matters.

Whether you are tracking Braxton Hicks or active labor contractions, this contraction counter helps you know exactly when it’s time to head to the hospital or call your midwife.

## 🧠 Smart 5-1-1 Rule Detection
The 5-1-1 rule is the standard guideline obstetricians and midwives want you to watch for: contractions every 5 minutes, lasting 1 minute, for 1 hour. This pregnancy labor tracker detects it automatically—no mental math, no guessing. When your birth timer pattern matches the guideline, you'll know instantly.

## 🚫 Braxton Hicks Filter
False labor won't fool this contraction monitor. Contractions under 20 seconds are automatically filtered out, and irregular patterns are flagged. Only real, consistent labor contractions count toward your status, helping you avoid unnecessary trips to the hospital.

## 📊 Pattern Status in Plain Language
No confusing medical terminology. Your labor timer status updates in real-time to guide you:
• Tracking Your Pattern
• Pattern suggests early regularity
• Pattern suggests increasing regularity
• Contractions are intensifying — consider contacting your provider
• Contractions are very frequent — contact your provider now
• Your pattern matches the 5-1-1 guideline — consider heading in

## 💪 Built for Active Labor
When a contraction hits, the last thing you need is a tiny button to tap. This labor app was designed for real-world childbirth conditions:
• Giant One-Tap Button: Virtually impossible to miss.
• High-Contrast Dark Mode: Easy on the eyes for timing contractions at 3 AM.
• One-Tap Call Provider: Keep your doctor or midwife’s number always visible.
• Encouragement Messages: Uplifting prompts during active timing.

## 📈 Rate Contraction Intensity
After each contraction, rate its strength from 1–10. This gives your medical team a complete picture—not just timing data, but a clear look at how your labor is progressing. It's a premium feature no other free contraction tracker offers.

## 📋 Editable History & Accurate Data
Forgot to stop the timer? Long entries are automatically flagged with a confirmation prompt. Short accidental taps are filtered out so your history reflects reality.
• Edit any entry easily
• Exclude outliers without deleting data
• Delete mistakes entirely
