The Tens machine allowed me to get through my entire labour and birth unmedicated, will definitely be hiring it again next time!
Having 52 hours of regular contractions sucked, but having the tens machine made it bearable during the early stages. Next time, I would reject morphine and gas and just use the tens machine to get to 5/6cm dilation, as I believe the drugs were responsible in the delay of my dilation.
Cannot recommend this product enough! After being woken up at 1am with contractions, I popped the TENS machine on straight away and was able to spend the next 22 hours labouring at home. Not only did it help reduce the pain of contractions, it gave my mind something to focus on and helped me feel in control the whole time. I only took it off once it was time for baby to come out.
A must have for your birth kit! I had used a TENs machine briefly in the past and knew I would want the option in my birth kit. Once I noticed I was in early labour I put the TENs on straight away giving myself relief. I only laboured using the TENs all day and was ready to birth once I arrived at the hospital. I can’t thank the TENs machine enough, the holy grail! The easy hire process makes a seamless stress free experience. Would highly recommend to every pregnant woman.
Used the tens for some part of my labour it was very helpful to ease me into my induction.
The hire process was super easy.
10/10 recommend for anyone still on the fence. Significantly helped me to manage my pain both while at home and at the hospital. After a traumatic first birth my plan this time had been to get an epidural as soon as possible, unfortunately the anaesthetist wasn’t available until I was 9cm which was a whole lot of unmedicated contractions I hadn’t planned on! Luckily I had the tens machine which really helped me to stay focused and manage my pain. I’m honestly not sure what I would have done without it.
On top of that the delivery, instructions and returns were easy - thanks birth store!
Midwife told me to stop using them on my perineum because it was drying it out and causing the burning sensation. Do not recommend
This was amazing for the distraction of mind over pain (obviously doesn’t take away the pain). It truly helped me! squeezing the ball in my hands help my mind go to another place and thoughts to distract myself from the pain.
I cannot recommend this product enough, I never thought I’d be able to have an unmedicated birth until using the TENS machine. I had my dream birth and I can’t thank you enough!!
I used the tens machine for my third baby and wish I had have used it for the 2 prior.
I used this machine my entire labour and made the contractions a breeze to get through. Would 100% recommend hiring this machine.
My labour went too quickly for any medical pain relief, but the Tens machine gave me so much relief that it wasn’t until the very last stages of labour that I really felt the pain was too much.
The hire process was incredibly easy and I was grateful for a simple return process that meant I didn’t need to think too much while settling in to newborn life.
It helps me make it through to 3cm dilation. Definitely helps a lot!
This Elle tens 2 machine and the comb were the only two things that got me through my unmedicated VBAC. I’m certain that if I didn’t have this tens I would not have been able to handle remaining at home as long as I did. I will 100% be using both items again!
I hired the tens machine to use during my labour. I am so glad I did this as it helped me time my contractions and also used for natural pain relief. The tens machine helped me labour at home for longer and gave me something to concentrate on during contractions. I will defiantly use this again in any future pregnancies and highly recommend to others!
Loved it! Had the most amazing unmedicated labour, will be hiring one again when I go back for round 2. Very easy hiring process with the birth store and comes with everything you could need.
The birth store was easy to use and easy for pick up (although a bit hard to find)
My Qiara probiotics were great, I didn’t notice a huge impact whilst taking them although I’m certain it helped my newborn with colic symptoms. Either way they are flavourless and easy to consume.
Would buy from the birth store again.
Elle Labour TENS Machine Plus Hire
Simply amazing. It helped me manage the contraction pains right up til when my water broke. Wouldn’t know what to do without it. Definitely using it again for my second.
This is my second time renting the TENS for labour. It allowed me to remain present, calm and work through contractions without any medication and provided so much relief. Easy to apply in the moment. Easy to return post use with the mailing bag provided. I have recommended to friends who are expecting many times.
This was my first time using a TENS machine on my fourth baby. I cannot believe I did not try this with my previous three labours! I practised putting the pads on during pregnancy and familiarised myself with the controls and settings. Once I started having regular contractions I put the machine on and gradually increased the levels as my contractions grew stronger and used the boost button throughout contractions. This was the most effective natural pain relief option I have ever tried, I kept repeating “I can’t believe I didn’t use one of these with my last three!!!”. This machine got me through labour comfortably until transition, which I then continued to use paired with gas and air. I really highly recommend trying a TENS machine if you are looking for something that actually works to help manage the intensity of contractions naturally!
Great service, all very easy to use. Cannot recommend a tens machine highly enough for labouring Mummas.
