The apps were tough for me because I wouldn't push the button right away, is this a.... Hmmm no probably not oh wait yes owe how do I... Etc. Looking at the clock works just as well... I even text my husbands cell so I can go back and look at the time... Time how long they last if more than thirty seconds then start timing how far until the next. Don't stress yourself out. Hope this is the end for you!!

I would wait until your contractions are more regular, and closer together. Have you been timing them? A good time to go to hospital is when they are coming every 5 mins and for about 45secs to a min each time. Best of luck. Hopefully not too much longer for u now. :)
