Using TENS in labour

When we experience pain, messages are sent along the nerves to the brain and then pain is felt. The TENS electrodes are positioned over the nerve pathways which transmit pain messages from the uterus and cervix during labour. The TENS unit produces tiny electrical impulses which are sent through the skin to the nerves. The electrical stimulation of the nerves blocks those messages from reaching the brain. The brain then registers the tingling sensation produced by the TENS unit rather than the pain. The signals can be increased in frequency and intensity as contractions become stronger. TENS also stimulates the body’s production of endorphins (natural pain relieving hormones). It takes about an hour for your body to start to respond to TENS, so start using TENS early on in labour on a low setting it can then be turned up as labour progresses or as your body gets used to the sensation of the TENS.
