Kiwimama keeps each tightening, pause, and pattern in one simple record for the people supporting you.
The Kiwimama Philosophy
Focus on the breath, not the buttons.
Labour is one of life’s most powerful moments. We believe your technology should fade into the background, providing a quiet, reliable record so you can stay focused on what truly matters.
During labour
Less guessing between contractions.
A clear timer helps you notice the rhythm without needing to hold the whole timeline in your head.

From Kiwi Families
“In the middle of active labor, I didn‘t want to think. My partner just tapped the screen to keep a clear record of the rhythm. It made communicating with our midwife so much easier. So simple.“
“The interface doesn‘t yell at you. It’s calm, dark, and does exactly what it says. It was the only app we needed during our home birth.“
