FAQ's

What is TENS?

TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation, and has successfully been used for many years by pregnant women and professional midwives worldwide to treat labour pain.

How does Babycare TENS work?

At the onset of labour, simply apply the four pads to your back as shown in the accompanying instructions and switch the TENS unit on. You will feel a pleasant pulsing sensation. This will help to raise the level of your own pain relieving chemicals known as endorphins. When experiencing a contraction, press the booster button for the extra surge of power needed to combat the pain. When the contraction ends, press the booster button again - it is that simple!

Why should I use a Babycare TENS?

Babycare TENS make only the highest quality products known for their excellent design and ease of use. Babycare TENS provides unrivalled customer care. All Babycare TENS are compliant with European medical device regulations.
User feedback has shown that Babycare TENS are most effective during the first stage of labour, and help the mother to remain in control, stay alert, and considerably reduce drug intake. Most importantly, there are no known side effects for you or your baby.

Can I use a TENS if I am considering a water birth?

Yes, but not in the water itself. Remember that TENS is effective right from the start of your labour. You will need it well before you enter the water.

Normally, a midwife or OB will ask you to enter into the water when you are between 4-5cm dilated.

Can Babycare TENS be used in Hospital?

Yes, but you may have to switch it off temporarily if the midwife or OB requires you to do so.

Are Babycare TENS machines safe?

Yes. They are designed for labour. However, do not use before the 37th week of pregnancy unless under medical supervision. If you suffer from epilepsy or have any doubts whatsoever consult a medical professional. If you use a demand type pace maker you should not use a TENS machine.

There are no known side effects for you or your baby.
