Please talk to your care provider about the TENS unit before renting or purchasing a TENS unit.
TENS are most effective when started early in labor.
"Long used in much of the world for control of chronic or postsurgical pain as an adjunct to or replacement for pain medication TENS was introduced into maternity care in Scandinavia in the 1970s.Today it is widely used and rated highly by users in the United Kingdom, Scandinavia, parts of Canada, and in other countries. In fact, TENS units, designed for convenient use by the woman in labor, are available for rent without a doctor's or midwife's order in drugstores and medical equipment companies in those countries."
