EIS COUNTDOWN

1. After each contraction, tap one of the four colored buttons below based on how long the contraction lasted: Ow (under 30 seconds), Oooow (30–60 s), Oooooow (60–120 s), or Oooo….w! (over 2 minutes). The labels refer only to duration, not pain intensity. This is the fastest mode and doesn't need the app to be open during the contraction.
2. If you want a precise measurement and the app is already open, tap I CAN'T COUNT when the contraction starts and tap again when it ends. The robot will time it for you down to the second.
3. Watch the graph and the yellow status line. Each dot is one interval between contractions. As labor progresses, dots should drift toward the dashed green line at 5 minutes. The status line tells you, with robot humor, which stage the pattern looks like.
4. The 5-1-1 rule. The standard guideline is to go to the hospital when contractions are about 5 minutes apart, each about 1 minute long, and that pattern has held for about 1 hour. The app will show 5-1-1 sustained(1h): YES when that condition is met.
5. Export the log as JSON or CSV (bottom of the page) if you want a record for your midwife or OB.

⚠ Override signals — go straight to your maternity unit regardless of what this app says: waters break, vaginal bleeding, reduced fetal movement, constant severe pain between contractions, under 37 weeks with suspected labour, any contraction lasting longer than 2 minutes, 6+ contractions in 10 minutes, or a strong urge to push.
