what is a tens machine and do i need one
A Tens machine (Tens stands for Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) is a popular method of pain relief during the early stages of labour. In our March 2014 survey of more than 1,200 mums who'd given birth within the last five years, 22% had used a Tens machine while giving birth, and the majority (68%) of those who used one told us they found it provided effective or very effective pain relief.
