Hi Skip,


Here's a previous thread on TENS machines for you:


http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?25,300503,300883#msg-300883


I hired mine both times, the link to the company I used is on the thread above. I loved mine, was (in my mind anyway) a crucial tool for labour!


Good luck

Hire! Don't think it's worth it to buy because you never even know if you are definitely going to use it.


I had initially decided to use TENS and ended up using gas (and finally had an epidural - but then I did have twins both natural delivery on the Thursday after being induced on the Tuesday... so I deserved all the drugs I could get hold of!!). Seriously though gas is the way to go.


I know that Kings college Hospital rents them out so you can just ask when you go in.


Good luck and get as much rest as you can before the sleepless nights set in. Indulge in long bubble baths with music and candles, you won't get to have those for a while!

HI - in response. I've used gas and air and TENS and had an epidural with my first - all helped. With my second, used TENS and hypnotherapy CD. Thought TENS was great.



Guess it goes to show its a very personal thing. You may love it/hate it but might be good to have hired and tried it.I found the first time that I didn't think it was heping relieve the pain - then I turned it off and realised that actually it HAD been helping!

    • I edited my post because I couldn't be sure we were talking about politicians and I couldn't be bothered to read it all back. But it was off the back of a thread discussing labour councillors, so it went without saying really and I should have left it.  What I said was 'There's something very aggressive about language like that - it's not big and it's not clever. Some of the angry energy that comes from the far left is pretty self-defeating.' (In relation to a labour councillor rather immaturely, in my view, wearing a jumper that read 'fuck the Tories').  But I don't recall saying that "violent rhetoric" is exclusively the domain of the left wing. So I do think you're taking a bit of a bit of leap here. 
    • You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”.  Then you call me pathetic.    I’m  not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense.  But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting  violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect 
    • I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women.    Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic. 
    • To be fair we are as hosed as the majority of other countries post-Covid. The problem is Labour promised way too much and leant in on the we need change and we will deliver it and it was clear to anyone with a modicum of sense that no change was going to happen quickly and actually taking the reigns may have been a massive poison- chalice. As Labour are finding to their cost - there are no easy answers.  A wealth tax seems straightforward but look how Labour have U-turned on elements of non-dom - why? Because the super rich started leaving the country in their droves and whilst we all may want them to pay more tax they already pay a big chunk already and the government saw there was a problem.
