What is live contraction tracking for doulas?

Live contraction tracking for doulas lets you see your client's contraction data — duration, frequency, and pattern — in real time as she tracks. Instead of waiting for screenshots or texts, you follow the rhythm of labor from your own dashboard.

How is BirthLink different from a regular contraction timer?

Most contraction timers are built only for the birthing person. BirthLink is different: it lets the doula follow the contraction pattern live. Your client times contractions from her phone, and you see the progress in real time from your dashboard. It's a contraction timer with doula sharing built in.

Can the doula see contractions in real time?

Yes. Once your client starts tracking, BirthLink pushes contraction data to your dashboard live. You see duration, interval, and the overall pattern as each contraction is recorded — no refreshing or check-ins needed.

Does the client need to download an app?

No. Your client opens a private link in her phone browser and starts timing immediately — no app download, no account required. She can share contractions with her doula from the moment labor begins.

Is BirthLink medical advice?

No. BirthLink is a contraction timing and visibility tool. It does not replace professional medical judgment, clinical guidance, or direct communication between doula and client. Always consult a medical provider for any labor concerns.

BirthLink is a live contraction sharing tool for doulas. Your client times contractions from her phone, and you can follow the contraction pattern remotely in real time.

Is BirthLink a contraction timer app?

Yes, but it is designed differently from a standard contraction timer. The client uses a simple contraction timer, while the doula gets a live view of the contraction pattern from her own device.

Does the client need to download an app?

No. The client opens a private link and starts timing contractions from her phone.

Do I have to pay monthly?

No. If you only take a few births a year you can pay $10 for a single birth link instead of subscribing — buy one or several, and they do not expire.

Who is BirthLink for?

BirthLink is built for birth doulas who want a clearer way to follow early labor remotely and reduce repeated contraction update messages.

Can partners or birth teams use the link too?

BirthLink is designed around the doula-client relationship, but the shared live view can help the support team understand the contraction pattern more clearly.

Is BirthLink medical advice?

No. BirthLink is not a medical device and does not replace clinical judgment, medical care, or hospital guidance. It is a communication and tracking tool for doulas and their clients.

Testimonials

From doulas who used it during real births.

Already used during real labor support experiences.

“BirthLink helps me time and again. During early labor, seeing both the frequency and duration of the contractions helps me understand whether labor is becoming established and whether there is still time before we need to leave for the hospital.…”

Sharon Yaakovov

Doula

“It helped me understand the laboring person's contraction pattern, and to know even in the middle of the night whether contractions were continuing or had stopped.…”

Built for Doulas

Built for doulas, not just parents

Most contraction timers are made for the person in labor. BirthLink is different.

With BirthLink, your client can time contractions from her phone, while you follow the pattern remotely in real time from your own dashboard.

No screenshots. No repeated “how far apart are they?” texts. Just a clear live view of contraction duration, frequency, and recent activity — so you can stay informed while your client continues timing.

Use Cases

When doulas use BirthLink

BirthLink fits naturally into the moments where clarity matters most.

🏠

⏱️

📸

🔍

📱

📋

You want a simple way to review the most recent contraction activity

The Problem

Screenshots don’t tell the full story.

BirthLink is not meant to replace communication between a doula and her client. It gives doulas a clearer way to stay in the loop between messages — especially during a long latent phase, when the couple is resting, or when they simply need a quiet moment to themselves.

Instead of piecing together scattered screenshots or waiting for the next update, you can open BirthLink and see the contraction pattern as it develops.

Your client times contractions from her phone. You see the pattern live in your dashboard — clearly, quietly, and without waiting for the next update.

How It Works

Contraction timer with doula sharing — in 5 simple steps

From sending the link to seeing the contraction pattern live — simple, clear, and easy to share.

The doula sends a private BirthLink timing link

Generate a secure, personalized link from your dashboard — each client gets their own, and the link only works for her session.

The client opens the link and starts timing contractions

She taps once to start and once to stop — just like any contraction timer. No account needed, no download. It’s that simple to share contractions with your doula.

BirthLink tracks duration and intervals

Each contraction’s length and the gap between contractions are captured and organized into a clear timeline. Patterns start to emerge as more data comes in.

The doula follows the contraction pattern live

From her dashboard, the doula sees duration, interval, and recent trend for every contraction. Live labor updates for doulas mean she knows when to check in without texting.

No app download is required for the client

Everything runs in the browser. Before labor, share contractions with your doula by sending a link. When labor starts, she opens it and timing is live.

That is the whole of it — a link to your client, and the pattern live on your screen.
