Duration and frequency are different
Duration is how long one contraction lasts. Frequency is measured from the beginning of one contraction to the beginning of the next. Your maternity unit may also ask how strong they feel, whether waters have broken and whether the baby is moving normally.
Common questions
What does a contraction timer measure?
It records duration from the start to the end of each contraction and frequency from the start of one contraction to the start of the next.
When should I call the maternity unit?
Follow the personalised advice from your unit. Call sooner for waters breaking, bleeding, reduced movement, an urge to push, severe constant pain or any serious concern.
