Labour TENS was fantastic during my entire labour. After 3 previous births with high blood pressure and thus recommended epidural's I decided to try the Labour TENS. My fourth labour was well managed and a completely different experience, for which I thank Labour TENS.
I kept the labour TENS on low in the early stages. Then I was induced with syntocinon as I was not progressing. When my blood pressure began to escalate I started to increase the volume on the TENS. I went from 3cm to birth in 1 hour, and the endorphins helped my blood pressure come down, so I didn't need the epidural. During transition I found the labour TENS an incredible support, it gave me something to focus on and distracted me. I didn't need any other pain relief -not even gas and air. I even used it for the delivery of the placenta, the midwife suggested I used the boost button again, as it took some manipulation by the obstetrician top remove it.
I recommend 100% the use of Labour TENS throughout the entirety of labour. I can't thank you enough Heather.
