TENS machine - grrrr arg, bummer

This is the one my OH's mum has, she said a while back 'i've got a TENS machine you can use' and I thought YAY. Having found out which one i then read the bit that says not suitable for use in pregnancy or during labour.

Now i don't know what to do...
The midwives at the antenatal said how great they were and how when used early on they can really help.

DO I buy one then sell it after (or keep it for later labours)
DO i rent one
Do i go without...

Any ideas??
P.S are there any decent cheap ones on the market?

You can get them for around £30

Either to hire for 4 or 6 weeks or buy. I'd buy probably, but thats just me. Hiring is cheaper though

THANKS!
I did google it. I found one on boots for £45 which isn't bad - and they are doing a 1000 points deal with it and so i'd have £10 on my advantage card from it (making it in my eyes £35) which sounds pretty good.

I guess i can sell it if i buy one, and hiring just isn't very cheap really!

Do you have an advantage card for Boots?
If so, their own maternity tens currently has 1000 points if you buy it online so would in theory only cost £36 (though you'd pay another £10 and have that amount to spend instore at Boots IYKWIM) and you'd get free delivery. If you needed anything else from Boots so your order came to over £60 you'd get an additional 600 points.
