I really had no idea how a TENS machine could work, but so many people I knew swore by them and my midwife was very keen for me to have one to hand.  I can’t really describe how it worked, but it really was amazing and I credit it for my being able to achieve a very manageable and drug-free birth!! It just eased me through the contractions, which whilst certainly intense, were focussed and smooth with the impulses provided by the Labour TENS.

I would recommend this form of pain relief to anyone…. even though I still have no idea how or why it works!!
