A TENS machine is the ultimate best friend in labour!
There to hold your hand through every contraction.
No matter what type of birth you are planning, having a TENS machine in your birth kit is a must!
TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. The TENS machine works by sending small electrical impulses through the skin via electrodes which are placed on your back. These impulses work by altering your perception of pain, effectively "overloading" the brain with stimuli, providing a natural pain management solution.
TENS machines offer distraction and focus during contractions, promoting the release of endorphins, the body's natural pain relievers. This dual-action approach not only alleviates discomfort but also enhances your birthing experience by empowering you with control and comfort.
The Elle TENS Plus machine is Australia's leading labour TENS machine with its sleek and compact design, it allows you to stay mobile and move without restriction. It is recommended to start using the TENS machine in early labour and the BEST part about a TENS machine is that you can start using it at home. When birthing at a hospital it will also be with you during your car ride and walk to the birth suite.
Hiring a TENS machine for your birth couldn't be easier!
