Thanks HollyC

My DP is like your DH, just loves his phone!!

I was searching around for some freebies - an important feature would seem to be that the timer keeps running in the background if you get a phone call or start another app - hope yours does that.

I have read similar birth stories where the timing of the length of the contraction has been a key pain management tool... eg the DH counts into a contraction before it starts, or through the contraction, or they use the timing to mark half way point (Harbour Bridge visualisation method) etc. Whatever works on the day, I say!

Good luck with your timing!
