I thought the Labour TENS was very useful during early labour. As the labour progressed I had to keep increasing the intensity as the contractions became stronger and I felt that I couldn’t feel anything from the TENS, so had to increase the Boost & Rest rate frequently.

Towards the end, as the contractions became more intense, the TENS didn’t seem to help and I wanted to take it off, however, I think it was well worth the hire of the machine…. as by the time the pain seemed to be getting too much, it was time to push!

Using the TENS from a very early stage with heat packs resulted in me having a Natural Birth and no need for drugs. If I were to fall pregnant again the TENS would be at the Top of my “To Do” List , ready for early labour!!
