Quiet tools

A date, kicks, contractions, weight, feeding, sleep, visits, and a vaccine card. They stay on this device. They do not replace a midwife or a doctor.

01

Due date

Counted from the first day of the last period. Cycle length shifts the estimate by the days you differ from 28. Ultrasound dating, if you have it, wins.

02

Kicks

From about 28 weeks, learn the pattern you already know. One common method is to count until ten movements. A clear, lasting drop is a same-day call — including at night.

03

Contractions

Tap when one starts, tap when it eases. The log keeps duration and the gap from the previous start.

  1. None yet

A common rule of thumb at term is contractions every 5 minutes, lasting about a minute, for an hour. Your hospital may use another threshold. Do not wait if there is bleeding, a gush of fluid, or fewer movements.

04

Countdown

Days until the estimated date. That date is the middle of a range, not a deadline.

Save the first day of the last period above.

05

Weight note

A trace, not a target. Pregnancy is not a diet. If a number is used to shame you, ask for a personal range.

06

Feeding time

Left and right. Bottle is today’s count. Durations clear at midnight.

07

A stretch of sleep

Start, stop. Today’s total. Not for comparison.

Visits often mentioned

Stops many clinics talk about. Your order is the card they gave you. A mark means you went.

0/15

Vaccine card

The national order often described in Turkey in 2026, for the first two years. Other countries differ. The only list that counts is your clinician’s card. A mark is not a reminder.

Signs often seen

What is often talked about around these months. A missing one is not a diagnosis. If you are worried, ask the same week.

Today’s note

One sentence is enough. It stays on this device until you clear it.

Sizes and dates are averages. Feeding and sleep notes follow widely published public-health guidance, including World Health Organization infant-feeding advice and back-to-sleep recommendations. They are not a protocol for your hospital.
