Inspired Comforts Toolkit
Early labor at home is often spent timing contractions. Use this for the first hours; switch to a timer app once you’re confident in the rhythm.
Contractions
| Time started | Duration (sec) | Time since last | Intensity (0-10) | What I was doing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
When to call the OB or head to the hospital
- 5-1-1: contractions every 5 minutes, 1 minute long, for 1 hour (first baby)
- Sooner for subsequent babies — check with your provider
- Any bleeding (more than light spotting)
- Water breaks (note time, color, amount)
- Decreased fetal movement
- Severe headache or vision changes
