Through the use of a pocket sized stimulator you can help your body to release its own pain inhibitors (endorphins) during labour.
The placement of the electrodes over the appropriate spinal cord levels will also act as a natural blocking or interrupting mechanism to the pain pathways going to the brain.
Ideal for those interested in attempting a drug free labour or wishing to limit the amount of drugs they may require.
Surveys of our users overwhelmingly replied they would use Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) again & many have gone on to do just that with their following births.
One appointment for you (& hopefully your partner) about 2 weeks before delivery is all you need to understand how to use it.
We hire the TENS to you at this appointment & then can pick it up from you if you are delivering at St John of God in Subiaco, otherwise you can return it to us at Baby Steps Health Centre.
