It really depends - some swear by their TENS machine and say that it helps tremendously during labour. Others don't find they make enough meaningful difference to labour pain to be worth it. How does a TENS machine work? When you remove the machine is completely up to you. It can be used in conjunction with gas and air to provide effective pain relief, and can be used for the duration of your labour. Often the effectiveness of the TENS machine is only realised once it has been removed.

Some hospitals have TENS machines available for labouring mothers to use, but many women prefer to have their own to use at home during early labour and/or the late stages of pregnancy (though it is not recommended before the 37th week). You can also hire a TENS machine for around six weeks at a time from several retailers. Keep mobile. Moving around during labour helps you to feel in control and will make TENS more effective.

Why you should trust us

Excellent service. Used a friends TENs machine throughout my first labour and as this was going to be my last I decided to hire rather than buy one. My experience was different this time as labour was induced and very fast. I had put the TENs on as soon as I was allowed up to mobilise after the pessary only to find out I couldn’t as there was pain everywhere on standing. 3 hours later the contraction timer on the machine gave me about a 5min warning that I was contracting regularly every minute and about to give birth. The heads up from the machine was definitely appreciated and would recommend the benefit of the contraction timer for that reason alone, you arent always thinking straight in labour. Do not worry as no extra charges will be incurred. When you hire the TENS you will be given a return date of 3 weeks after your due date. This should give enough time if your baby is overdue. If you do require more time please just let us know.
