    What is TENS? 

    You may or may not be old enough to remember the comfort of holding a Nokia cell phone in the mid-2000s, but these TENS units--specifically designed for labor and postpartum--are a similar size and weight of those phones and just as easy to use!   

    TENS, or transcutaneous nerve stimulation, is an easy-to-use, affordable comfort measure.  The handheld unit delivers a tingling sensation through sticky pads on your lower back, helping moms cope with uterine contractions from prelabor all the way through any postpartum afterpains. 

    Why use a TENS?

    1. Because evidence says it helps, and most women in the research say they would choose to do it again

    2. The results I've had with moms renting are even better than the evidence.   This is what moms who use this particular TENS unit say (these are moms who have taken my birth class and/or who work with me as a doula or birth assistant are planning unmedicated births)

    Contact me for more information on TENS and to find out if I have a unit available for your due date.
