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 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.

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.

What if I am due in less than 3 weeks ?
