Frequently Asked Questions
What is a TENS machine and how does it help during labour?
What is a TENS machine and how does it help during labour?
An Elle TENS sends mild electrical pulses through pads placed on your back, helping to block pain signals and stimulate natural endorphins. It’s a safe, drug-free way to stay more comfortable, mobile, and in control from early labour through to birth.
Which Elle TENS model is best for labour?
Which Elle TENS model is best for labour?
All Elle TENS models are designed and programmed specifically for labour, but each offers unique features. Elle TENS 2 provides advanced ease-of-use and display features, Elle TENS Plus offers additional modes useful for pregnancy and postpartum pain, while the Obi TENS is a simple, budget-friendly labour option. Choosing the right model depends on your needs, preferences and budget.
When should I start using a TENS machine during labour?
When should I start using a TENS machine during labour?
TENS works best when applied during early labour, as it helps your body build endorphins. You can continue using it right up until birth, adjusting the boost button as your contractions intensify.
Is it safe to use a TENS machine during pregnancy?
Is it safe to use a TENS machine during pregnancy?
Yes - TENS is considered safe for labour and late pregnancy. Some models also include settings for pregnancy back pain, but you should always consult your healthcare provider before using TENS before labour begins, especially if you have underlying medical conditions.
Can I use a TENS machine alongside other pain relief options?
Can I use a TENS machine alongside other pain relief options?
Definitely. TENS can be used on its own or combined with other comfort measures such as breathing techniques, movement, heat packs, massage and medical pain relief (except water immersion, as TENS cannot be used in water). Many mums use TENS from early labour and add other methods if needed.
