I used the Labour TENS unit from the first regular contractions. I found that even at five minutes apart I still wasn't feeling enough pain to qualify 'active labour.' I continued at home for another six and a half hours without any other pain relief, and even managed to doze in between contractions.

When I eventually arrived at hospital I was already 8cm dilated, and the baby was born only one and a half hours later!

I found the labour TENS was very effective for relieving pain as I had no other pain relief. It also allowed me to labour at home more comfortably.
