Labor Mate - contraction timer at Mac App Store analyse

** MacBreak Weekly App Pick of the Week (July 21) ** Labor Mate is the labor contraction stopwatch of choice for many expecting parents. Labor Mate makes tracking a womans labor contractions as easy as touching a button. Tap the stopwatch button once to start the contraction timer and tap it again to stop the timer. As the contractions become longer and more frequent Labor Mate tracks the information for you and reports the timings back in an easy-to-read format so you can decide when it is time to call the doctor, your doula or midwife, or head off to the hospital or birthing center for delivery. Labor Mate provides two screens for monitoring the contractions, a detail screen and an summary screen. The detail screen shows the duration of each contraction and the time between contractions. The summary screen shows the average duration of the contractions based on the last 3 contractions and the average time between contractions based on the last 6 contractions. This information helps you decide when it is time to call the doctor or head off to the hospital for delivery. So what fun is buying an application when you cant take advantage of it right away? After all it is not likely you will buy Labor Mate the moment the contractions start, though you might. This is why Labor Mate includes a Due Date Countdown screen. Enter the expected due date and Labor Mate will show you how many weeks and days have passed as well as how much time remains.
