    TENS - Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation


    1. Drug free pain relief in labour – what is it?
    2. What does it feel like?
    3. Are there any side effects?
    4. When should I stop using or remove the machine?
    5. When should I hire the TENS machine?
    6. What if I go over my due date?
    7. Can I use the TENS machine for backache?
    8. Where do I position the pads on my back?
    9. Can I test the machine before labour?

    1.Drug free pain relief in labour – what is it?

    The Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) machine uses a small battery operated unit to provide a non-invasive and drug free method of helping to control labour pain. At the onset of labour, simply apply the four pads to your back as shown in the accompanying instructions and switch the TENS machine on. You will feel a pleasant pulsing sensation. This will help to raise the level of your own pain relieving chemicals known as endorphins. When experiencing a contraction, press the booster button for the extra surge of power needed to combat the pain. When the contraction ends, press the booster button again - it is that simple! The Labour TENS can be an effective technique for pain relief in over 80% of births with no side effects.
    Evidence shows that to achieve the best results the TENS should be used from the onset of labour. In order to build up endorphins (the body’s natural pain relievers) the TENS needs to be in place for at least 40 minutes before the full effectiveness can be felt.

    2. What does it feel like?

    Most people describe the sensation of the TENS machine as tingling or pins and needles.

    3. Are there any side effects?

    It is not thought that using TENS in labour has any adverse effects on either you or your baby. You are free to move around while using it and you can use it in conjunction with gas and air. However you must remember it cannot be used if you want to try a birthing pool for pain relief and you can’t use it if you have a cardiac pacemaker.

    4. When should I stop using or remove the machine?

    When you remove the machine is completely up to you. It can be used in conjunction with gas and air to provide effective pain relief, and can be used for the duration of your labour. Often the effectiveness of the TENS machine is only realised once it has been removed.

    5. When should I hire the TENS machine?

    It is a good idea to book your TENS machine in early pregnancy (about 25-30 weeks) to avoid disappointment. It will then be dispatched in time for your 37th week. Do not worry if you have not ordered a TENS machine and you are nearing your due date just select "Express Delivery" and we will dispatch the machine on a Next "working" Day service

    6. What if I go over my due date?

    Do not worry as no extra charges will be incurred. When you hire the TENS you will be given a return date of 3 weeks after your due date. This should give enough time if your baby is overdue. If you do require more time please just let us know.

    7. Can I use the TENS machine for backache?

    You can use the TENS machine for back ache once you have reached 37 weeks in your pregnancy. Before this time you must check with your midwife. Replacement electrode pads can be purchased for £4.99 should you require them

    8. Where do I position the pads on my back?

    Try to get help when positioning the pads. The electrode placement pads need to be positioned 4/5cm above and below an imaginary line drawn with the navel. 2/3cm on either side of the spine.

    9. Can I test the machine before labour?

    Yes definitely, we would recommend you familiarise yourself with the machine and how to use it. Do not worry about the adhesiveness of the pads as they can re-used several times (ensure no oils or creams are present on the skin). Instructions on how to test the machine are included. Once you have tested the machine remove all the wires and don’t forget to place the protective covers back on electrodes to prevent them from drying out. Pack the machine away carefully and wait for the big day.

    Please note that we are only able to hire these units within the UK.

    1. Martine (verified owner) –

      Fantastic service, really worth the money! TENS really helped me with the early labour pain and baby was back to back 🥺 delivered on time, with easy to follow instructions. Returning back was also a breeze. Highly recommended!

    2. Anisha (verified owner) –

      So glad I hired a TENS machine. Took my mind off the pain during labour and I made it through the end without needing any other pain relief other than gas and air towards the end. Highly recommend. Service and communication was excellent.Thank you

    3. Celia (verified owner) –

      Amazing service! Quick delivery and very easy process to return it -just leave it in a letterbox-. From all the stuff that I prepared for the labour, the TENs machine was the only thing that really helped me to cope with the pain (I had a natural birth). If I get pregnant again, I will hire it again with Birth-ease. Highly recommended!

    4. Liz Brown (verified owner) –

      I used the tens machine in early Labour, right up until I got to the hospital and was 5cm dilated. It was brilliant and really helped me managed the contractions at home. I just pressed the pulse button on each contraction & took alot of the pain away so it was much more manageable. Would recommend hiring from birth-ease, very easy to order, arrived with plenty of time & very easy to return. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire again.

    5. Rhian (verified owner) –

      Although I didn’t get to use the tens machine as the labour was quicker than expected, the service was fantastic! The machine arrived swiftly, even though I ordered it very close to due date. Would definitely recommend.

    6. Anna Scott (verified owner) –

      Really quick and convenient service to use. Would recommend!

    7. Melanie (verified owner) –

      This was the second time I have hired from birth-ease and can’t fault the service at all. Fantastic value for money.
      I got through both labours with just the TENS machine and gas and air, can’t recommend enough!

    8. Sarah (verified owner) –

      The product itself was great to use in labour and helped ease the contractions as they intensified. The service from birth ease was easy and efficient, Would recommend

    9. Holly (verified owner) –

      Amazing service ! Didn’t get to use though as I had emergency section but will definitely order again

    10. Sarah (verified owner) –

      I am so pleased to have hired this product. Used it alongside hypnobirthing techniques and I had the birth of my dreams. Once popped on in early labour I used it all the way till baby was born. My favourite feature was definitely the boost button. Highly recommend the TENS machine 👍

    11. Michelle Allerton (verified owner) –

      Cannot recommend these enough fantastic for the start of labour helped me a lot. Speedy delivery. Nice and easy website & service!….thanks 😀

    12. Laura (verified owner) –

      I am so glad that I was recommended Birthease. My tens machine arrived in good time before my due date. It had everything I could need and was a lifesaver during labour. It was easy to order and return. I would highly recommend this service.

    13. Charlotte (verified owner) –

      Cannot recommend birthease enough. Easy to attach everything and very clear instructions. I utilised the TENS machine a few times to help with pelvic girdle pain and it did take the edge off. I then utilised the TENS machine from early labour right up until I gave birth, with everyone contraction I pressed the boost button and with the increase in impulses it gave me something else to think about other than the contractions as well as utilising breathing techniques.
      With having a new baby it helps that the return of the machine is so easy, popping back into the box, envelope and in the post box. Would fully recommend.

    14. Natalia (verified owner) –

      Being my first pregnancy I was unsure if a TENS machine would actually help me. Can honestly say it was the best thing I did hiring it. I didn’t need any other pain relief. Will definitely be hiring again for my next baby. Service was really good with this company too.

    15. Gill (verified owner) –

      Arrived really quickly and was easy to test and set up. Boost button was great for contractions and ended up having it on during the whole delivery. Easy to return too. Would highly recommend!
