@thelasttrimester_aus: Connecting and using your TENS machine ⚡️ Once your electrodes are placed on the lower back, connect the leads to the pads and plug them into the TENS unit. This allows the machine to send gentle electrical pulses through the nerves that carry pain signals from the uterus during labour. Turn the machine on and start with a low, comfortable base setting, slowly increasing the intensity until you feel a strong but comfortable tingling sensation across your lower back. Everyone’s comfort level is different, so take a moment to find the level that feels supportive for you. As a contraction begins, press the boost button to increase the intensity. This extra stimulation can help your body manage the peak of the contraction. When the contraction fades, return to the base setting and allow your body to rest before the next one begins. TENS machines are most effective when started early in labour, helping many women stay comfortable, mobile, and relaxed while labour establishes. 🤍 DM us if you’d like to hire a TENS machine for your birth. ⚡️ #midwife #birth #labourandbirth #tens #BirthPreparation
