Time your contractions with one tap and know exactly when it's time to head to Cloudnine — the timer tells you when you've reached the 5-1-1 pattern.
Tap when a contraction starts, tap again when it ends. We'll track how long and how often — and tell you when it's time to come in.

For a first baby, the usual guide is the 5-1-1 rule: contractions about 5 minutes apart, each lasting around 1 minute, and this pattern holding for 1 hour. If it's not your first baby, labour can move faster — come in a little earlier, around 7–10 minutes apart. The timer above watches for this pattern and tells you when you've reached it.
Early labour contractions are often irregular and manageable; true labour contractions get longer, stronger and closer together and don't ease with rest or a warm shower. Trust the pattern more than any single contraction — and if you're ever unsure, call. It's always fine to be checked.
Tap 'started' when you feel it begin and 'ended' when it fades. The length is how long it lasts; 'apart' is measured from the start of one to the start of the next.
Contractions 5 minutes apart, lasting 1 minute each, for 1 hour. It's the common sign that active labour is established and it's time to head to the hospital — the timer flags this automatically.
Practice tightenings that are irregular, don't get closer together, and usually ease with rest, a change of position or a drink of water. Real labour contractions steadily strengthen and get closer.
Yes. Second and later labours are often quicker, so head in when contractions are around 7–10 minutes apart, or sooner if they're intense — and immediately if your waters break or you have bleeding.
