Hey all the mums to be! Are you ready for the big day? Have you thought about what pain relief you will be using during labour? Maybe something that will make you more comfortable and prolong your time at home? Something you can also easily take to the hospital with you?
Let me introduce you to your new best friend during labour: the TENS machine! 🎉
What is a TENS machine? It stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. This is a game changer for managing pain during labour and childbirth! 🥳
🙌 Here is why you will love the TENS machine:
1️⃣ Drug-free Pain Relief: say goodbye to medications! TENS offers drug-free pain relief by sending gentle electrical impulses through the skin, helping reduce pain sensations.
2️⃣ Control and flexibility: Mums to be can fine-tune the TENS settings, customising intensity and frequency to match their needs and comfort levels throughout labour. They are also very easy to put on.
3️⃣ Non-invasive: No needles and no drugs! Using the TENS is gentle and safe, making it perfect for pain management during childbirth. Just apply the electrodes to your back and you are good to go!
4️⃣ Improved relaxation: The TENS stimulates natural painkillers (endorphins) and eases muscle tension, helping you stay calm and better cope with contractions.
5️⃣ Increased mobility: The TENS machine is your tiny, portable companion, allowing you to move around freely and find your most comfortable positions during labour.
6️⃣ Partner Involvement: Partners or support persons can play an active role in pain management by helping to position the electrodes, adjust the settings and provide that extra support.
🌟 Every birth experience is unique, and what works for one person may not work for another. However, many mums have found great comfort and relief with the TENS machine. Its definitely worth considering as part of your birth plan! ❤️❤️
