Tens machine

I've had lower back pain all morning for 5 hours & it's not going away like it usually does. I'm due tomorrow so wondering or hoping more like that this is the beginning of Labour. I've got my tens machine out and it's helping take away this dull pain. Anyone else planning on using a tens machine or have had any experience with one, how was it for you? A lot of women don't know about it it's a shame because its a really good form of pain relief in my opinion..

I received one after man accident and unfortunately it never helped me. I'm glad it works for you, though! Any relief is awesome at this point.

Glad you have some releive. I had this done years ago when I was in a car accident and had to go to the chiropractic. I had no idea you could even buy a machine. Can you tell meHow much do these run and where can you get them.

No there's special ones for pregnancy use after 37 weeks. I have the Femme Tens machine. Its a God send get it!

Is it safe to use during pregnancy? It doesn't affect the baby? I am experiencing a sharp pain on my lower back as well. It's annoying because it doesn't go away. :( I'm 38+2 so any day for me as well.

It's a little hand held machine that has wires attached to it and sticky pads attached to the wires. You stick the sticky pads onto your back, turn machine up/down  and it gives you electric waves feels like a massage and takes the pain away. Acts like a distraction.
