Today we’ll be discussing the TENS Machine, what it is, and how it might be helpful with labour. TENS stands for Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation is a method of pain relief that can be used for lots of different things from back pain to period pain. Today we’re specifically going to talk about an obstetric TENS machine, which is used as pain relief during labour.
On top of the basics, we’ll also talk about who it might be most useful for and who shouldn't use one. Plus, I’ll share my top tips on how to get the most out of your TENS machine in labour.
If you’re pregnant, or just want to know a bit more about TENS, then this episode is for you!
