Labour Contraction Timer for Phones

Take the guesswork out of timing your labour contractions, by using a specially designed app on your phone or tablet.
For the iPhone/iPod or iPad we recommend Full Term - Labor Contraction Timer, which is a free app and very straightforward to use.  Simply tap the start button at the beginning and end of a contraction and the app will calculate everything else (see screenshots).  A full labour history is stored for you or your health care professionals to analyse.

There are also a number of free Android Apps out there, which perform the same job and can be found here.

Peace of mind at home

It can be quite a daunting experience arriving home with a newborn. We've put together a list of great home products, which we think help put new parents mind at rest.

Digital ear thermometer - a must from day one, invest in a quality thermometer and you won't regret it.

Baby bed blocks - great for raising the end of a cot when baby has the snuffles and far safer than a couple of books!

Gro-egg digital room thermometer - Peace of mind at a glance especially in those early days at home with your baby - the gro-egg™ changes colour to let you know at a glance if the temperature of a room is too low, too high or just right.

NEW Boob Designer Maternity and Nursing Wear

We're delighted to have just taken delivery of some great key items from Swedish Designer Boob. We predict the Boob Treggings in blue and black are going to be a big hit with our pregnant customers (pictured).

Another great purchase is the Before & After Nursing Singlet vest which can be worn whilst pregnant and after birth as a result of the rouched sides. An essential for the hospital bag, as it adjusts to whatever size you are after birth, but allows for discreet nursing.
