The machine came quickly and was packed up in a nice bag with clear instructions. If it wasn’t for this machine I don’t know if I’d of managed to do a natural birth. Really helped distract from the contractions!
Out of my 29 hour labour, 24 of those hours were unmedicated and all my pain was managed with the TENS machine. The machine became a comfort to help me through each contraction, taking the severe edge off the pain. I did end up with an epidural, oxytocin drip and antibiotics when the labour ticked over the 24 hour mark to minimise risk of infection that comes with a longer labour. But the TENS machine got my so far and I cannot recommend it highly enough for birth!
If in doubt, just grab one anyway! After mixed reviews about laboring with a tens machine I was on the fence about getting one. It wasn’t until my midwife strongly encouraged me to that I came across Bliss Birth & decided to rent one “just in case” & i’m so glad I did! It arrived on time, was beautifully packaged (like new, even my midwife was impressed at the quality!) & did the job beautifully! I wouldn’t labour without one & will 100% be renting a tens machine again through Bliss Birth for my next labours & will encourage my friends and family to do the same when the time comes. Thank you! ☺️
Love this service, having the TENS delivered and being able to just pop it back in the post makes it such an easy and convenient service! Recommend to all my pals who want to hire a TENS.
I used the comb through the early stages and on the way to hospital. Whether it helped reduce pain I can’t say, but it gave me something else to focus on, and while contractions came fast in the car it was certainly helpful. I’d use it again.
Second time hiring for my second birth, easy and quick process to get the Tens machine. Really helped me get through a natural and drug free birth for both my babies. Highly recommend.
It was so straightforward to hire and return the TENS machine. A fully addressed return satchel was included along with spare electrodes. The TENS machine was absolutely brilliant in labour as well. I particularly appreciated the boost feature! I used the TENS machine and gas, and my labour was fast and intense but very manageable. Highly recommend!
I had the labour of my dreams using the Bliss Birth TENS.
I stayed calm and focused through every contraction at home and made it to the hospital 7cm dialated! The contraction timer made it so easy too. I would recommend this to everyone x
I would definitely recommend Bliss Birth to any expecting mums, the process was really straightforward. The TENS machine itself seemed to relieve some pain - or at least provide a distraction!
Third time labouring and I wish I knew about this product the first 2 times! For the first time I was able to birth without an epidural after being induced with Pitocin (both previous births I had received an epidural during inductions, given I tried to fight through the contractions until they became too painful). The TENS was very simple to use and a great relief along with the birthing comb also from this store. I used TENS and the comb solely from the start with mild contractions up until pushing where I then continued to use TENS in addition to gas. Highly recommend this product, I couldn’t do it again without it!
I found the TENS machine really changed the game when it came to the mental toll that contractions can have on you. Being able to time the contractions using the TENS machine and feel your progress made the biggest difference between my first birth and my second (didn’t have TENS for my first birth and ended up with an Epidural).
Having the TENS for my second birth gave me the ability to have an unmediated birth that I’m really proud of.
Would recommend hiring the machine, I know I will again for the next kid!
Dealing with bliss birth was too easy especially returning the product. Bliss birth thought of everything.
I couldn’t wait to use the tens machine for my labour. Turns out it wasn’t for me. Won’t know unless you try.
I also brought a bag of red raspberry leaf tea! How good! Definitely helped soften my cervix. Drink from 36weeks
Cannot recommend a TENS machine for managing labour pain enough, helped me get through it. So great you can hire it and worth every dollar.
Even as someone with an avowed dislike of lavender, I thought the scent was quite nice. I was too unsure to use before I was in labour, but it was nice to be able to mist our bedroom. We only had one small chance to use the oil because things progressed quickly, but I’d recommend to a friend. Anything that gives you or your partner a feeling that you can ‘do’ something during labour is a worthwhile product!!
The tens absolutely got the through so much of my labour and helped me achieve the intervention-free vbac I was hoping for. It gave me something to focus on during contractions and I really only took it off to get in the bath at the very end otherwise it might have got me through the entire thing! I would recommend to anyone - the ease of ordering and receiving the beautiful package in the mail is an extra touch that makes the experience so worth it.
First time mum and definitely couldn’t have lasted through to 5cm dilation without the TENS machine. Easy to use and fits in your hand so it’s not awkward to hold
The bliss birth hire and returns process was so simple (especially post when you have other things to worry about)
The TENS machine was great to have and provided something else to focus on during contractions
I wish I had this for my first birth.
I used just the tens machine through my active labour, no medications or gas. I felt in control and so calm during this time.
If you’re in the fence about trying the tens, do it. I highly recommend getting it for labour
