I had a very quick first birth and the tens machine was a game changer! I could not have achieved my home birth without. Recommend to everyone
I put the TENs machine on at 12am, baby was born at 1:15am. Managed to breathe through contractions for about 45-50ish minutes until I started vocalising. TENs machine was so good at helping to manage the pain and lean in to saying yes to the contractions. Loved our homebirth, TENS machine worked so well.
This was my second time hiring a TENS machine from the Birth Store. I highly recommend both the machine & the store, I found the TENS very helpful through labour both times & the process of hiring from the Birth Store very simple & easy.
I didn’t use tens with my first born, and when preparing for my second born a few friends had suggested a tens machine. To be honest, I was a bit skeptical, I appreciated the science behind it but wasn’t necessarily convinced it would work for me. Nonetheless, I hired it and thought I’d give it a try. I was absolutely amazed! I gave birth naturally with no pain relief at all, just my tens machine. I felt so empowered using the boost button and focusing on contractions and breathing. It was such a positive experience.
The hire and returns process with the Birth Store was so simple, clear instructions and made it super easy!
I had so much to think about post partum.Thanks for making it so easy to return. I also appreciated the compact package so it easily fitted in my hospital bag.
Wanted to labour at home for as long as we could. The tens machine helped make this happen. Had it on from the start pretty much to the end. Surprised and grateful for how much comfort it brought.
I hired a tens from bliss for both my pregnancies. The hire and return was easy and hassle free. The machine itself provided valuable distraction from labour pain. I did find all the buttons and modes a bit fiddly to use in the heat of the moment even though I practiced beforehand. But still a worthwhile tool in the birthing toolbox.
I have used the TENS machine for both my babies and both were delivered unmedicated. I don’t know how I would have survived the contractions without the TENS machine. It was easy to use and it really works in distracting your mind from the intensity of the contractions. Highly recommend!
When it came time to use at beginning of labour, it was easy to put on. It was user friendly and helped distract from the pain, you can adjust to how low or high you want the intensity of the modes. Everyone should have this on standby when they go into labour.
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!
