Does St Michael's have tens machines, or have I got to hire my own?

Thank you!

I should know this, I know, but forgot to ask midwife & feel trivial phoning the hospital (I will do if no-one knows, though)

My midwife recommended hiring through them as you could then have it on at home for early labour. Made sense when I thought about it, and it was great when I used it.

It's been a long time (over a decade) but I had to hire one, and knowing the state of the NHS now compared to then, I'd be sorting out a rental machine if I were you

You have to hire them, though I bought one from ebay for less than the cost of hiring.

Thanks all - I'd better get on the case! x

I borrowed one from an antenatal friend who had her baby before me, it was a Lloyds chemist one and I bought new sticky pads for it. St Michaels is fantastic, great place to have a baby! Congrats :)

Thanks so much, EJoG - useful friend!

Good luck :) DD is one a week today, it seems so long ago and yet time has gone so quickly!

Thanks you! I have my tens - got from Boots, so I'm all set!

When are you due?

I'm 38 weeks...

Fantastic, good luck hope it all goes smoothly, you will meet your baby soon!

Thank you! [smile}
