I have found a very curious internet application that you may find useful at a time when we are not precisely focused to remember and make calculations. Is a online contraction counter.
When labor day arrives and contractions begin we have to keep track of how long each one lasts and how often we have them to know whether or not to go to the hospital. The truth is that at that time, being alone or accompanied, we do not have the head to be remembering or pointing the minutes, so with the help of an online contraction counter we can keep track of the minutes that lasts each and the time interval between one and the other.
In the case of repeated regularly, be less spaced and more progressive, that is to say that its intensity is increasing, we must go to the hospital. In the case of first time, when you have had regular contractions every 15 minutes for two hours. If it's not the first baby, before.
If you have a computer nearby (your partner can do it, you only need one hand, the other can give it to you), just press the space bar each time a contraction begins and ends. A record of each contraction is formed and the intervals between them. Then you can print it and take it to your doctor.
The idea has been of a father, surely overwhelmed in that disconcerting moment in which labor contractions begin that announce the imminent arrival of the baby.
