    The one we have sounds very similar to HollyC's one If I remember right, it's called B's coming, or something along those lines... Comes in handy during antenatal classes - we use it to time how long the midwife talks about stuff I already know

    Yep, it's called something like baby's coming. And apparently it does keep timing if you get a call.

    I would never have thought of that... what a great idea...

    My DH is similar, he loved being able to hit "start" and "stop" for me on contractionmaster.com with DD. Also similar, his iphone is glued to his hand so he will like having something useful to do.

    Going to download it now...

    I just wanted to come in and say that I honestly laughed out loud when I read this title!! Sorry, completely unproductive. Do you have a watch, a pen, and some paper? Thats how I did it back in the old days!

    I downloaded "labourmate" which is essentially a stop watch that times how long the contractions are and how far apart and then gives you an average length, etc.

    Buuuuuut I never used it, when the time came I was way too into everything and totally forgot I'd even downloaded it.

    But I can see how it would make your partner feel helpful during contractions, etc. I wish I'd thought to give it to my DP so he'd have stopped fussing over me lol
