When Should I Start Using a Labour TENS machine?

So you’ve got your TENS machine and you’re more than ready for baby to arrive, but you’re not sure when to start using your TENS? The sweet spot is early labour — as soon as you feel things starting to ramp up. Using the TENS early gives your body time to build up endorphins and helps you get used to the sensation before contractions become more intense. So, when you know you’re in labour, pop it on, turn it on a low intensity and take your time cranking it up.

Remember, you don’t need to wait until you're in hospital or fully established in labour — it’s actually more effective when started earlier. You can always pause it if you decide to hop in the shower or bath, then pop it back on again.

The best part about having a TENS on hand from early labour is that it can be used right from the start, at home, which is where you’ll want to labour for as long as possible.

If you haven’t yet organised your TENS hire, you can book one anytime during your pregnancy and it only takes a couple of minutes. Book online www.tenshire.co.nz

What type of TENS machine is best for labour?

The best type of TENS machine for labour is an Obstetric or Labour TENS. Unlike regular TENS machines, which are designed for general pain like sore backs or injuries, Labour TENS units are specifically made to support your body during childbirth. They’re simple to use, handheld, and allow you to stay mobile during labour.

One of the standout features of the Elle TENS is its dual burst modes. These gentle, high-frequency pulses are used between contractions to help your body release its own natural painkillers — endorphins — without overwhelming or interrupting your natural hormonal response. This means your body can continue working with you, not against you, as labour progresses.

When a contraction begins, you simply press the Boost button. This activates a stronger, yet carefully balanced pulse that gives you extra relief during the peak of the contraction, then automatically returns to the regular mode once it passes. Models, like the Elle TENS, also include Opti-Max technology and adjustable pulse widths so you can customise the sensation to suit your needs — strong enough to help, but never so intense that it interferes with your body’s natural pain management.

In short, an Obstetric or Labour TENS is safe, effective, and designed specifically to support you through every stage of labour — naturally.

At Natal Care Naturally, you can book your Labour TENS machine anytime during your pregnancy. With over 400 five star reviews, you can trust our service and our TENS units.

How does a Labour TENS machine help during labour?

TENS works by stimulating the nerves in your lower back — specifically the ones responsible for touch and pressure — which helps block out pain signals trying to reach your brain. It’s a bit like your nervous system can only handle so much at once… so when you’re feeling the pulsing of the TENS machine, the pain signals from your contractions have a harder time getting through.

Even better, the machine helps your body release endorphins — your natural feel-good hormones. These are like your body’s very own pain relief system, and TENS helps kick it into action.

And it’s not just about the physical benefits. Using a TENS machine can help you feel calmer, more focused, and more in control — which in turn supports your body's ability to labour efficiently. When fear and tension are reduced, it helps your oxytocin (the hormone that keeps labour going) do its job.

What is a Labour TENS Machine?

A Labour TENS machine (short for, Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) is a small, clever, drug-free device that helps manage pain during labour. It works by sending gentle electrical pulses through four sticky pads on your lower back — like a little “buzz” that helps distract your brain from contraction pain.

These pulses work in two brilliant ways:
🤍 They interfere with pain signals reaching your brain.
🤍 They encourage your body to release endorphins — those amazing natural painkillers.

TENS is a bit like giving your nervous system something else to focus on — which is why we like to call it a “contraction distraction.”

TENS is completely safe, non-invasive, and gives you control over your own pain relief — no needles, no medications, and no side effects. Just good vibes when you need them most.

Midwives love them. Mums swear by them. And the best part? TENS is pain relief you can use right from the start of labour, for those long hours of labouring at home or settling in for the home birth you’ve been planning.

Visit our website to book a modern, reliable TENS machine for your labour. www.tenshire.co.nz - only $69.99 for six weeks hire (3 weeks prior to your due date, 3 weeks after your due date)
🤍 Free nationwide delivery
🤍 Free return postage

How effective is a TENS machine for labour?

TENS machines are becoming more and more popular for a reason. Over 80% of women who use one during labour say they’d use it again — and that kind of feedback speaks for itself. It’s like having a little superpower strapped to your back that helps you feel more in control, calmer, and way more capable of riding out those contractions.

TENS works by sending gentle, high-frequency pulses through your lower back that help distract your nerves to block pain signals from reaching your brain. TENS also boosts your body’s natural painkillers (hello, endorphins!). Plus, it gives you distraction to focus on during contractions — by pressing that magic BOOST button and knowing you’re not just bracing for pain, but actively managing it.

TENS won’t make contraction pain disappear, but it can definitely make a huge difference — especially in early and active labour. And the best part? A TENS can be used right from the start, at home, which is where you’ll want to labour for as long as possible.

So yes — it’s effective. So effective, in fact, we think every mum-to-be should have one on hand… like snacks. Or stretchy pants…

You can book your TENS machine anytime during your pregnancy. Head on over to our website and make your booking for your due date.
