Set the alarm for 12:14 a.m.

Web alarm clock for 12:14 a.m.

While you wait beside the sow and watch for the moment she needs you, set the alarm for 12:14 am so you can check the pen without staring at the clock. The alert marks your planned check before 1:00 am, leaving your hands free to arrange clean cloths, water, and a light where you can reach them.

Because this farrowing watch may continue through the night, keep the phone connected to power and prevent it from going to sleep before the alarm sounds. Test the volume once, then leave this page visible nearby. If the browser is closed or the phone goes into sleep mode, the farrowing alarm may not sound, so use the phone's built-in alarm as a backup for this farm duty.

Before settling beside the pen, consider how long the road back to the family farm takes after midnight. Philippine barangay roads can be dark, and gates or rough stretches may slow the trip even when traffic is light. If you are not yet on site, allow extra travel time and have someone already at the farm monitor the sow until you arrive.
