Questions, answered plainly.

Can a contraction timer tell me when to go to hospital?

No. Follow the personalised call and arrival instructions from your maternity unit, which can differ by pregnancy and location.

When should I call sooner?

Call for waters breaking, bleeding, reduced movement, an urge to push, severe constant pain or whenever you are seriously concerned.
