Plippo Baby“How far apart?” — on the screen, not in your head
Plippo Baby's contraction timer records each contraction's length and the gap to the previous one with one tap; it is a timing aid, not medical advice.
It is built for one thumb and a bad moment: one big button to start, one to stop, and the numbers waiting for you when someone asks.
What does it time?
Every contraction gets its length, and the time from its start to the start of the one before. Above the list, three tiles sum up what you logged: the average gap, the average length, and how many contractions fell in the last hour.
The words on the screen
| On the screen | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Tap to start | The big button. Tap it when a contraction begins. |
| Contraction running | A contraction is being timed. The stop button sits in this bar. |
| Frequency | The average time from the start of one contraction to the start of the next. |
| Duration | The average length of the contractions you timed. |
| Last hour | How many contractions you timed in the last sixty minutes. |
| … apart | On each contraction in the list: the gap to the one before it. |
How do you time a contraction?
- When a contraction begins, tap the big button.
- When it ends, tap stop in the bar that says Contraction running.
- Repeat for the next one. The gap, the averages and the last hour fill in by themselves.
No signal needed
The timer runs entirely on the phone. In a car, a lift or a hospital corridor without reception it works exactly the same, and there is no account to sign in to first.
Like the kick counter, it is part of the free app — all of pregnancy is.
Questions people ask
Does the app tell me when to go to the hospital?
No. It times and records. When to call or go in is a question for your midwife or doctor; if you are worried, contact them.
Is it free?
Yes, the contraction timer is part of the free app.
Does it need signal?
No. It works with the network switched off.
What happens to the pregnancy log after the birth?
It stays on the same timeline; nothing is migrated.
A timing aid only — not medical advice. If contractions are strong, regular, or you are worried, contact your midwife or doctor.
