Resources for thoughtful coverage and referrals

A factual, bilingual overview for journalists, childbirth educators, doulas, prenatal-class organizers, and community partners.

Between Contractions was created by product designer and developer Santiago Molina while preparing for the birth of his first child in Colombia. Its family origin informs the design, not a claim of clinical authority.

Product

The product in four facts

Calm, direct timing

The core timer is free and ad-free, uses one large manual control, and requires no general account.

Bilingual by design

English and Spanish are selected inside the product rather than being limited to the device language.

Private by default

Core history uses local-first storage. Personal platform backup or sync may copy it; optional Partner Sync shares selected history only when the user chooses it.

A transparent boundary

The product records manual taps and provides general timing information. It does not detect, diagnose, monitor, or predict labor.

Ideas

Useful story angles

Coverage is most useful when it examines a concrete product decision instead of repeating a launch announcement.

  1. Designing one clear interaction for a moment of divided attention.

  2. Building a bilingual product for one real family without claiming to represent every birth experience.

  3. Keeping a sensitive moment out of advertising and third-party analytics systems.

  4. Making support people active participants through deliberate, optional sharing.
