Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 5-1-1 rule for labor?
The 5-1-1 rule means contractions are about 5 minutes apart, each lasts at least 1 minute, and this pattern continues for 1 hour. Many providers use this as a guide for when to call or go in.
How do I time contractions correctly?
Start timing at the beginning of a contraction and stop when it ends to get duration. Frequency is measured from the start of one contraction to the start of the next.
Should I call my doctor before 5-1-1?
Call sooner if your provider advised it, your water breaks, contractions become very intense, you have bleeding, reduced fetal movement, or any urgent symptoms.
Is this contraction timer a medical device?
No. It is a tracking aid for educational planning. Always follow your own doctor or labor unit instructions, even if they differ from general timing rules.
