Why Did I Download/Buy This?

As I prepared for my daughter’s birth, I needed to have something on hand to measure contractions. A stopwatch wouldn’t do it for me, because it wouldn’t keep track of the series of contractions. I wanted something easy to use so I wouldn’t be fumbling with an application - something with a big button on it was the goal. This application met the marks.

How Do I Use This?

Unfortunately, I never got to use it. Our daughter was born via inducement, so the contractions didn’t need to be tracked since I was already at the hospital.
