Contraction timer
The common rule of thumb for active labour is "5-1-1": contractions 5 minutes apart, lasting 1 minute each, for at least 1 hour straight. This timer tracks both numbers for you and tells you when you've hit that pattern — always confirm with your doctor or midwife rather than relying on this alone.
Track more than one number
The Nawah app saves all of this automatically — week, weight, movements and contractions — in one place.
