labour TENS was recommended to me through the hospital education classes. However, leading up to the birth of my baby, friends of mine, including a final year medical student laughed at my choice of using the TENS machine. Indeed her words were “ if you stubbed your toe the TENS might be good, but labour pain is completely different”. …well pleasingly I was proved right! About 20 hours or so into my labour I promised my husband that I would be giving up my career in law to become a Labour TENS sales rep!

The exhilaration I felt at having got through labour only with the use of the TENS machine (and a shot of pethidine) is incredible.
