Highly recommended by midwives, TENS labour and obstetric machines are widely used during childbirth here in the UK.
Designed by Neurotrac the Labour Obstetric TENS machine offers you pain relief and boost mode in one comprehensive device. Labour TENS offers a background level of pain relief to which other pain relief methods can be added, (epidural etc if medical intervention is required) although some mothers use only TENS throughout their labour. The beauty of TENS during your labour? There are no harmful side effects and as a result your baby will be born more awake and responsive, unlike those whose mothers have used strong drugs for pain relief.
A drug-free labour allows for quicker bonding between you and your baby and consequently breastfeeding difficulties are less likely. Labour TENS can be used from 37 weeks of pregnancy onwards. Earlier use should be discussed with your obstetrician. The electrodes should not be placed on your abdomen at any time during pregnancy or labourb but on your back by your spine. When you get a contraction, press the boost button and this will prevent the 'pain' signal from reaching your brain - its a simple solution to the problem of labour pain. Simple to use the sticky pads (TENS electrodes) attach easily to your skin, you will feel a pleasant pulsing sensation, and this helps to raise the levels of your own pain relieving chemicals endorphins which naturally fight the pain.
The Neurotrac Obstetric machine can also be used after your labour to help with post-labour pain relief. One of our best selling labour pain machines.
