My experience was quite different, I hated it! My labour was very quick though. I was at home just getting my things together to go to the hospital, I ended up giving birth 2 hours later, but I got my partner to put it on my back and it was just the most annoying thing! But the bath at the hospital was so good, and so were pineapple frujus! I think the only way to know is to give it a try, because some people love it, but I thought it was a huge waste of time!]]> Sat, 12 Dec 2009 18:54:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30368&PID=868552&title=has-anyone-used-tens-during-labour#868552 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30368&PID=865683&title=has-anyone-used-tens-during-labour#865683 Author: kitechick

Hi there

I used one during the 1st 12 hours of my labour until I hopped into the bath... and I realised how effective it was when I had a contraction between taking it off and hopping into the bath ... owwww!!

Will definitely use it for my next labour!

I used one during my labour - I had a longish early labour, but did use it once we got to the hospital also, up till when I hopped into the pool. I just had some gas for other pain relief.

Not entirely sure what difference it made (as I had no comparison ), but it certainly didn't hurt. It does take at least an hour to get it ramped up and going to really get your endorphin level up.

I hired one from a chemist, and they did also have waterproof sticky sheets that would have been ok for a shower, but not for the bath/pool.

Any specific questions?

I'm keen to hear from anyone who has used, or knows someone who has used a Tens machine for pain relief during labour.]]> Mon, 07 Dec 2009 22:27:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30368&PID=863776&title=has-anyone-used-tens-during-labour#863776
