Tap start when one begins.
Many families learn about a 5-1-1 pattern: contractions roughly five minutes apart, each lasting about a minute, holding that way for about an hour. That is general information, not a rule and not advice. Your provider or doula is your guide for what your own timing means.
This timer is a convenience, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, monitor, or advise, and nothing here is saved or sent anywhere. For any concern about your labor, contact your care provider or local emergency services.
A contraction timer records how long each contraction lasts and how far apart they are. You tap start when one begins and stop when it eases, and the timer keeps a running average of the length and frequency of your recent contractions. This free timer runs entirely in your browser, saves nothing, and sends nothing anywhere, so you can use it offline and clear it just by refreshing.
Two simple numbers tell most of the story. Here is what each one means.
Many families learn about a 5-1-1 pattern as a way to talk about timing.
The shorthand describes contractions that are roughly five minutes apart, each lasting about a minute, holding that way for about an hour. It is a piece of general information, not a rule and not advice. Bodies and births vary widely, and what your own timing means is a conversation for your doula or provider. This timer simply describes what you have entered. For any concern about your labor, contact your care provider or local emergency services.
5 minutes apart. 1 minute long. About 1 hour.
A way to talk about timing, never a stand-in for the people supporting you.
