Maternity TENS
Giving
birth is rightly regarded as an extremely uncomfortable and painful experience
for many mothers, and while for some women labor goes quickly and relatively
easily, for others it can turn into a real ordeal. Where our grandmothers had
to go through the pain barrier more or less unaided, there are quite a few
options available for todays pregnant women that can lessen or even completely
remove the pain, allowing the joyfulness of giving birth a much greater chance
to be appreciated. One of them is the Maternity TENS.
TENS
stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. A TENS machine
is a small electronic device which you attach to your lower back with electrode
pads. The machine passes a very slight electric current through the pads, which
is intended to interfere with the pain signals, reducing the extent of the
discomfort. The level of current can usually be increased during contractions,
and then lowered back down as the pain subsides again. Some women find TENS
machines to be highly effective, while for others the effect is minimal.
