Commonly known as watches....

What has everyone got planned to use to time your contractions???

I don't wear a watch & really only use my cell phone to tell the time.

I would imagine that all my watches that might be floating around here have run out of batteries!

A watch, and probably a laptop! We always have one running around here LOL

probably DH's watch or my cellphone.  WE used the cellphone last time.  Dh got all technical and started doing split timing etc and it was so confusing.  Even when we got to the hospital he was still doing it.  I got so annoyed as I didnt care about that...I just wanted my back rubbed at that point.

At home I used this Contraction Master

And it was FANTASTIC!!!! It times them and tells you the frequency and everything.
Then when we got sent home from hospital and went to mums boss' house my mum used her stop watch on her phone cos I wasnt in my right mind to time them lol

Ooh Sheza that thing is cool! Might have to use that - I can just imagine my dh trying to get all technical too (he's the kind of person that uses a spreadsheet for absolutely everything) so this would stop him doing that!

Apparently there's a Google contraction timer (whatever will they think of next!), but I haven't looked it up for myself yet.  I imagine I will leave my laptop at home though once we go to hospital.
