The Complete Guide to Navigating Labor
Understanding your body’s signals is the key to a calm childbirth. Master the science of labor and know exactly when it’s time to meet your baby.
Understanding the Journey
Labor is a profound biological process. As you approach delivery, hormones like oxytocin increase, signaling your uterus to contract. A contraction is the tightening and releasing of your uterine muscle.
These muscular flexes serve a crucial purpose: they help to thin out (efface) and open (dilate) your cervix, creating a pathway for your baby. By relying on precise data from our tracker, you can calmly monitor your body's progression without panic.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the interval time actually measure?
The interval is the time measured from the exact start of one contraction to the exact start of the next one. It includes the duration of the pain itself plus your resting period in between.
Why is the tracker beeping / turning red?
Our AI analyzes your last 5 contractions. If your averages meet the 5-1-1 rule, it turns Orange (Active Labor). If you check "Water Broke" or "Bleeding", it turns Red (Emergency). This is to guide you on when to contact the hospital.
Can I close the browser and come back?
Yes. We use your browser's local storage. As long as you don't clear your browser data or press the "Reset" button, your contraction history will remain saved even if you lose internet or refresh the page.
