Mama Tens My Time Maternity Tens - Single

Product Description

TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) has an excellent reputation as one of the safest, most effective forms of modern pain control available to women during childbirth. Midwives recommend Maternity TENS machines for their benefits, particularly in early labour, as they enable mums to remain mobile & upright: this aids descent & dilation & provides a completely drug-free & natural form of pain relief. The Mama TENS can also be safely used in conjunction with analgesics such as pethidine or standard gas & air. Research from over 5, 000 mothers found that 9 out of 10 women who have used TENS during labour would use it again for subsequent births. The Mama TENS machine works by stimulating the body’s own natural defences against pain by transmitting gentle stimulation through the skin via four adhesive pads, positioned on the back. Unlike general TENS machines the Mama TENS maternity TENS machine has pre-set programmes which are specifically designed to help relieve labour pain. The Mama TENS machine also offers a boost button which allows mums-to-be to rapidly increase the intensity to provide additional pain relief during contractions.
