My ds was born 7 yrs ago and I used one of these and it definitely helped and suited me.
I'm about to hire another for birth in mid Septish and am looking at the Elle tens,27 quid for 30 day hire.
Anyone else happy with this machine?
I can't even remember the make of the one I used last time, I hired it from my yoga teacher.

I liked the mamatens a lot. Used it for 3 labours - once hired from boots and twice from tesco.

think it was £27.99 from tesco.

I used ElleTENS this time round and was very happy with it.

Can you get one from your Health Visitor or midwife?

Our GP surgery loans them out for free! (Friends of GP surgery funds bought some)

I'll check Milliways, thanks, I haven't heard that they do so far but will see.
