TENS

The word TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation and is a highly effective form of pain relief during labour using electrical impulses.

“My waters broke and I started using TENS straightaway as you advised. It allowed me to get a full night’s sleep comfortably at home, until I was 5-6cm dilated. The overall TENS experience was just wonderful, I would certainly be recommending it highly to my friends. ”
S. Ching, Paddington

HOW IT WORKS

The Fremom TENS unit is easily held in the palm of one hand. At the onset of labour simply apply the two long electrodes to your back and switch on the TENS unit. You will feel a pleasant pulsing sensation. This will help to raise the levels of your own pain relieving chemicals known as endorphins. When experiencing a contraction, you press the booster button for the extra surge of power needed to combat the pain. When the contraction ends, release the booster button, its that simple!
TENS enables you to stay at home longer by letting you relax and stay in control of your labour.
The mother and support person, are taught how to use the Fremom stimulator and are encouraged to experience the sensation during the demonstration. The unit is hired out at approximately 37 weeks of pregnancy. You are encouraged to become familiar with the unit and the application of the electrodes, before labour commences. TENS has
been found to reduce the need for analgesia use in labour.

Check with your doctor if you have a pacemaker or heart disease.

Testimonials

“The great thing about Tens is that as the pain increased, I could increase the intensity of the stimulation current. This gave me great control over my labour. The Tens unit made a huge difference to my experience. If you have the opportunity to use a Tens unit do so! quote”e

“It was great to relieve the pain in the
car going to hospital. The TENS brought
much comfort to such an emotional and
physically challenging time.”

” I used the Tens machine in my 2 previous labours. The experience was like having a personal masseuse for the whole duration of the labour! I was able to deliver naturally, without an epidural, on both occasions. The Tens was an integral part of my pain management and I intend to use it again for my 3rd labour in 6 weeks time. ”

“Thank you for coming to our house to show us how to use the TENS. I used it as my main pain relief throughout my labour, there was no way I was going to give it up! I don’t know how I would have coped without it. All mothers should have this pain relief option… I couldn’t recommend it more highly.”
