I heard about Labour TENS as it was recommended through my hospital antenatal class.

I went through the majority of my labour at home during which time I used the labour TENS only. I think the Labour TENS acted as a distraction and allowed me to go on my own for longer.

When I made it back into hospital It was assumed I was not in active labour as I was not in a great deal of pain. I continued to use the TENS until I was checked and found to be 7.5cm dilated. The TENS allowed me to get to this point without any other pain relief.
