What is a maternity TENS machine?

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a professionally researched, tried and tested method of pain management in childbirth and chronic pain used in European hospitals and clinics since the 1960's.

Labour TENS unit is an advanced, small, battery powered device which sends a pulsed electrical stimulus via pads to the skin.

Why use a maternity TENS machine ?

No harm to baby
Drug free pain control
Instant long lasting pain relief
No side effects or drowsiness
Fully controllable with boost button
Used at home when contractions start
Can be used with other methods /drugs
Safe and easy to use at home or in hospital
Proven up to 90% effective for reducing labour pain
Non invasive giving freedom to move and walk about

How does TENS work ?

Releases natural pain killers (endorphins and encephalins)
Blocks out pain messages to the brain.
Provides a sense of control over labour pain and gives an alternative focus

What does TENS feel like ?

A pleasant tingling sensation on the skin where the pads are placed.

When do I start using the TENS machine?

We recommend you start using the maternity TENS machine at home at the onset of contractions. Early use of the TENS promotes the bodies production of endorphins and encephalins - the bodies natural pain killers.

How long should the maternity TENS be used ?

The Tens machine can be used as needed for as long as desired but a minimum 60 minute duration is recommended for childbirth.

Can I practice with the TENS machine ?

Yes, we recommend you tryout the TENS machine beforehand so that you are familiar with the operation. You may place the pads on your lower back as you would during labour or you may place them on the inside of your forearm to test. If you are earlier than 37 weeks then only use the tens electrode pads on your arm & limit the test to a short period. The pads are self adhesive and re-usable. Re-apply the plastic film to the sticky side of the pads when finished and store in the plastic bag.

Is TENS safe?

Yes, our TENS is specifically designed for Labour. It has been professionally researched, tried and tested since the 1960's. However there are a few precautions. Do not use over broken or desensitised skin. Do not use before 37 weeks unless approved by your doctor. Do not use if you have a pacemaker. Seek advice from doctor if you have epilepsy.

I would like a water birth - can I use maternity TENS ?

Yes, although NOT whilst in the water. Use during the first stage of labour which may take several hours. The midwife will not usually ask you to enter the water after you are 5cm dilated. You need to REMOVE the TENS machine BEFORE you enter the water.

Can I use the maternity Tens machine with other pain relief methods ?

Yes, you may continue using the TENS machine with other methods such as pethidine and gas and air.

Can I use the TENS machine after the birth ?

Yes, the TENS machine is very effective for reducing the pain of uterine contractions after birth. The TENS can also be used whilst breast feeding after birth, and can be used with leg, neck or back pain.

Can I use an ordinary TENS machine ?

It is not recommended as ordinary TENS machines will be less effective. A maternity TENS uses larger pads and has specially designed programmes with a boost button for changing between the programmes to allow an increase in pain relief during contractions, these do not exist on a standard tens unit.

When is the best time to order ?

Order as soon as possible to secure your maternity TENS machine. It will be posted out to you 3 weeks prior to your baby’s due date, priority hire is sent same working day. You can order 6 months in advance of your baby’s due date

What if I am due in less than 3 weeks ?

We recommend you use the Priority Hire Service - Sent via DHL same or 1st working day.

Can I take the TENS into hospital with me ?

Yes. The midwives and doctors are usually very happy for women to use a maternity TENS. Check with your midwife or doctor if you are unsure. You may need to turn the TENS off temporarily whilst using electronic monitoring equipment.

What if my baby is late ?

You automatically get an extra week free, any longer needed, email us as soon as possible and we can normally give you another extension for one week.

Can I use a maternity TENS to treat back pain during pregnancy ?

Yes, our maternity TENS can be used to treat back pain during and after pregnancy. (not before week 37)

Customer Reviews

	Excellent product!
	I had a very long very painful spine to spine labour and this was a life saver! Definitely recommend you practise with it before but once you know how I found it invaluable, good quality product and quick delivery. Will use next time!!
	Reviewed by: Tracy De Pass from Hampshire. on 11/3/2012 5/5

	Miss
	Professional, efficient service - arrived quickly with all parts required, easy to set up, easy to use (and really helped in labour!), easy to return. Worth every penny.
	Reviewed by: Lynette Connolly from Rochdale. on 8/7/2012 5/5

	Would recommend TENS
	I would recommend TENS for labour, even if you only use it at the beginning of labour and opt for stronger pain relief later down the line. The instruction booklet was very long with this TENS (compared to the TENS I had with my first labour), which put me off at first, but once I'd set it up properly it was easy to use. It did the job it was supposed to and was by far the cheapest I could find for hire on the web. Quick delivery and easy return.

	Tens Machine
	I wore this tens machine throughout my labour and would definitely recommend it. It helps the pain, it gives you something else to focus on. Just hit the boost button when the contraction starts.

	TENS Hire Review
	I hired this machine for my first Baby this year. I used it right up until the later stages of Labour. The Machine itself was very good, the boost button was helpful. I ordered it quite late on in my pregnancy but it arrived on time and was easy to send back. Would highly reccommend.
