How to time contractions
There are so many great apps and resources that help us (and our partners) time contractions while we are in labor. But, it’s helpful to know HOW they are timed because it might be a bit different than you think!
There are three important things to note about timing contractions
Time — What time did the clock say when your contraction began?
Duration — How long did your contraction last?
Interval — How much time elapsed from the START of the first contraction to the START of the next contraction?
I’ve created a handy, free printable for you to use either during labor or as an educational tool to understand how contractions are timed.
