...does the TENS machine produce a similar effect to acupuncture, in terms of releasing endorphins etc?
I had acupuncture for the first time yesterday and it felt amazing!! But it's only available as birth preparation, not during labour itself. So I wondered whether it might be worth getting a TENS machine to try and produce a similar calming/ pain relieving effect during labour? Or is that nowhere near similar?
If anyone has experience of both, I'd love to hear about your experiences!
