Tens Machine?
Hi ladies
Im booked to have a home birth with my 2nd baby in September & would like to buy a Tens machine to use. I didn't use one with my daughter who was born in March 09 so Im not sure which one to choose.
Any advice from anyone who used one in labour would be greatfully recieved!
Many thanks

Good luck for September. So exciting!
I had a relatively quick labour with Millie so hoping this one isn't really any quicker or earlier (36weeks gestation & 4 hour labour from waters breaking until birth!)
Im hoping this one stays put until at least 37 weeks so I can have my home birth!

I used it throughout my induction (had contractions etc for about 12 hours) and got through the whole thing with that, gas and air and some painkillers. I still had it on whilst I was pushing, but it wasn't doing anything by then!
Best tip is to start it as soon as possible to give time for the endorphins to build up.
